Ribosomal protein, large, P2 pseudogene

This entry encodes a pseudogene related to the ribosomal protein, large, P2 gene (RPLP2). Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to known genes but are generally non-functional due to mutations or lack of transcription. Therefore, ENSG00000239809 does not produce a functional protein and does not serve as a therapeutic target[1][5]. The biologically relevant, functional protein is encoded by the active RPLP2 gene (see UniProt ID: RLA2_HUMAN), which is a component of the 60S ribosomal subunit and involved in protein synthesis. By contrast, this pseudogene has no known protein product or direct biological role[1][3][5]. Summary: This target (ENSG00000239809) is a pseudogene rather than a functional protein or therapeutic target. It should not be used as a canonical drug target; information about biological function, disease roles, or drug interaction is not applicable[1][3][5].
