Mitochondrial ribosomal protein S17 pseudogene 1 (MRPS17P1)

Mitochondrial ribosomal protein S17 pseudogene 1 (MRPS17P1) is a processed pseudogene corresponding to the functional mitochondrial ribosomal protein S17 gene (MRPS17)[1][4]. MRPS17P1 does not encode a functional protein and is not involved in mitochondrial translation or other defined cellular processes. Like many pseudogenes, it is likely transcriptionally inactive in most contexts and lacks therapeutic or diagnostic utility. Pseudogenes generally arise through gene duplication or retrotransposition, and some may regulate their parent genes by acting as competing endogenous RNAs, but no such role has been described for MRPS17P1 specifically[2]. If you require structured data for the functional mitochondrial ribosomal protein S17 (MRPS17), refer to gene and protein databases rather than the pseudogene MRPS17P1[3][5].
