Ribosomal protein L21 pseudogene 69 (RPL21P69)

Ribosomal protein L21 pseudogene 69 (*RPL21P69*) is a processed pseudogene found on human chromosome 6q25.3. It is derived from the ribosomal protein L21 (*RPL21*) gene, which encodes a structural protein of the large 60S ribosomal subunit used in protein synthesis. Pseudogenes like *RPL21P69* are genomic sequences with high similarity to functional genes but do not encode functional proteins due to disabling mutations or sequence interruptions. Such pseudogenes are common for ribosomal protein genes, reflecting their evolutionary history and retrotransposition mechanisms, but they lack established roles in cellular biology or disease. *RPL21P69* is not considered a therapeutic target nor an active biomolecule in any known pathway. If you seek information on the functional ribosomal protein, refer to **Ribosomal protein L21 (RPL21)** rather than the pseudogene.
