Ribosomal L24 domain containing 1 pseudogene 8 (RSL24D1P8)

RSL24D1P8 (ribosomal L24 domain containing 1 pseudogene 8) is a non-coding pseudogene in the human genome. It is related by sequence homology to the functional ribosomal protein biogenesis gene RSL24D1 but does not encode a protein and is not known to be expressed or functional. There are no established roles for this pseudogene in human biology or disease, and it is not considered a therapeutic target. This gene is a pseudogene, meaning it resembles a functional gene but has lost its protein-coding ability or functionality through evolution. No therapeutic relevance, biomarker association, or disease linkage is established for RSL24D1P8. Pseudogenes in general can sometimes have regulatory functions via RNA intermediates, but there is no evidence for such a function for RSL24D1P8.
