Ribosomal protein L18a pseudogene 2 (RPL18AP2)

Target: RPL18AP2
Molecular classification: Other (Pseudogene)

Overview

RPL18AP2 is classified as a pseudogene and is annotated as ribosomal protein L18a pseudogene 2 in the human genome[2][4][6]. Unlike true ribosomal protein genes (such as RPL18A), RPL18AP2 does not encode a functional protein and has no established biological function or role in therapeutic targeting. Pseudogenes like RPL18AP2 arise from duplication or retrotransposition events of their parent genes but typically accumulate mutations that prevent them from producing functional proteins[4][6]. There is no evidence that RPL18AP2 is involved in disease, interacts with drugs, or is used as a biomarker. Additionally, it is not considered a member of key molecular families such as enzymes, receptors, or transcription factors. In scientific and biomedical contexts, RPL18AP2 should not be selected as a therapeutic target.
