60S ribosomal protein pseudogene

ENSG00000262120 refers to a ribosomal protein pseudogene in the human genome. Pseudogenes are genetically similar to known protein-coding genes but typically contain disabling mutations that prevent translation into a functional protein. Most ribosomal protein pseudogenes in the human genome are considered non-functional and are not expressed as proteins[2][3]. While recent studies suggest that some pseudogenes can be transcribed or even translated into peptides, the resultant products, if any, are generally unstable, non-functional, and do not have established biological or disease roles[4]. There is no evidence to suggest that ENSG00000262120 encodes a functional protein, is involved in disease processes, or is a known drug target. Its entry as "60S ribosomal protein pseudogene pseudogene" appears to contain redundant wording and is not considered a valid or actionable therapeutic target under current scientific understanding.
