Pseudogene similar to part of 40S ribosomal protein S2

ENSG00000220076 refers to a **pseudogene** that shares sequence similarity with part of the gene encoding 40S ribosomal protein S2 (RPS2)[3][5][2]. A pseudogene is a genomic DNA sequence similar to a functional gene but typically lacking the ability to produce a functional protein, often due to mutations or truncations. This pseudogene is not known to encode an active protein or to have any established biological or disease role, nor is it considered a therapeutic target. Its annotation as a "pseudogene similar to part of 40S ribosomal protein S2" means it is related by sequence only to the functional RPS2 gene, which encodes a component of the small ribosomal subunit involved in protein synthesis, but the pseudogene itself is non-functional and lacks evidence for any direct role in human biology or disease[3][5][2].
