Ribosomal protein L12 pseudogene 24 (RPL12P24)

Ribosomal protein L12 pseudogene 24 (RPL12P24) is a human genomic pseudogene that shares sequence similarity with the functional ribosomal protein L12 gene but does not encode a functional protein. Like other processed ribosomal protein pseudogenes, RPL12P24 has no known protein-coding function and is not involved in cellular pathways or disease mechanisms. It is listed in genomic catalogs for reference and comparative studies, but is not a relevant pharmacological or therapeutic target[11][12][6][8]. Ribosomal protein L12 itself (RPL12 gene) is part of the 60S subunit of the ribosome and is involved in protein synthesis, but RPL12P24 specifically is non-functional[5][7].
