Ribosomal protein L21 pseudogene 91 (RPL21P91)

Ribosomal protein L21 pseudogene 91 (RPL21P91) is a processed pseudogene related to the gene encoding ribosomal protein L21. Pseudogenes like RPL21P91 are non-functional copies of protein-coding genes, generated through gene duplication or retrotransposition events, and generally do not produce functional protein products. They are common for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, with multiple pseudogenes found for RPL21 distributed throughout the genome. RPL21P91 itself does not code for an active ribosomal protein or have an established biological role. It is not considered a therapeutic target, is not associated with known disease processes, and does not interact with any approved drugs or experimental compounds.
