Pseudogene similar to part of ribosomal protein L10

ENSG00000236450, also known as AL590399.6 or "pseudogene similar to part of ribosomal protein L10 (RPL10)," is annotated as a pseudogene in the human genome. Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but are non-functional; they typically arise by gene duplication or retrotransposition and lose their protein-coding ability or regulatory function. This pseudogene is named for its sequence similarity to the ribosomal protein L10 (RPL10), but it does not encode a functional protein. This entry is a pseudogene, not a protein-coding gene, enzyme, receptor, transporter, or recognized drug target. Pseudogenes like this are generally considered non-functional with respect to coding for a protein or serving as a therapeutic target. There are no known drugs, disease roles, or established biological functions associated with this pseudogene. Its primary significance is as a non-coding genomic sequence similar in part to ribosomal protein L10, which itself is a structural protein component of the ribosome, but the pseudogene form does not share those functions. Because this entry is not a conventional or functional drug target and has no known therapeutic, functional, or diagnostic use, the fields for biological functions, disease roles, drugs, mechanisms, biomarkers, and safety concerns are all null or not applicable. This target is thus considered "incorrect" in the context of a therapeutic target or functional protein request.
