ribosomal protein L21 pseudogene 107 (RPL21P107)

RPL21P107 is a processed pseudogene of the ribosomal protein L21 gene in humans. Pseudogenes are typically non-functional DNA sequences that resemble known genes but do not encode functional proteins. RPL21P107 is not expressed as a protein and does not have known biological functions, disease roles, or drug interactions. It is classified as a pseudogene and does not function as an enzyme, receptor, transporter, or therapeutic target[3][5][7]. The canonical, functional gene is RPL21, which codes for a component of the 60S ribosomal subunit, essential for protein synthesis in the cytoplasm[1][2]. There are numerous ribosomal protein pseudogenes dispersed throughout the human genome, including RPL21P107[1][2].\n\nKey points:\n- This entry is a pseudogene and not a therapeutic target.\n- No known disease association, molecular activity, or drug interaction.\n- The correct molecular classification is "Other" (specifically, pseudogene).\n- The entry may be misleading if interpreted as a functional target; thus, is_incorrect: true applies for drug/discovery targeting purposes.
