Ribosomal protein L10 pseudogene 13 (RPL10P13)

RPL10P13, or ribosomal protein L10 pseudogene 13, is a processed pseudogene in the human genome related to the gene encoding 60S ribosomal protein L10. Unlike the functional RPL10 gene—which encodes a component of the large (60S) ribosomal subunit involved in protein synthesis[3][1]—RPL10P13 does not encode a protein and is not involved in ribosome function or known biological processes. Pseudogenes like RPL10P13 may arise via retrotransposition or gene duplication but typically lack regulatory elements necessary for expression, and are not considered functional or therapeutic targets[6].
