Ribosomal protein L22 pseudogene 1 (RPL22P1)

Ribosomal protein L22 pseudogene 1 (RPL22P1) is a processed pseudogene derived from the functional RPL22 gene. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences similar to known genes but typically non-functional as proteins. RPL22P1 does not encode a functional ribosomal protein, but may be transcribed into RNA. Recent research shows some pseudogene RNAs, including lncRNAs, can be translated or serve as regulatory molecules, but the biological significance of RPL22P1 is unclear; its function, if any, is likely unrelated to classical protein or receptor roles[1][6]. RPL22P1 is not considered a therapeutic target, lacks known drug interactions, mechanism of action, or biomarker status. Its primary relevance is as a genomic element with sequence similarity to RPL22[1].
