Ribosomal protein L23a pseudogene 88 (RPL23AP88)

Ribosomal protein L23a pseudogene 88 (RPL23AP88) is a processed pseudogene, meaning it resembles the ribosomal protein L23a gene but does not encode a functional protein. Pseudogenes like RPL23AP88 generally lack protein-coding capacity and are not considered classic therapeutic targets, receptors, enzymes, or similar druggable entities. There is no evidence that RPL23AP88 is involved in canonical biological functions, diseases, or drug interactions. Its primary classification is as a non-functional genomic sequence originating from the ribosomal protein L23a gene family[1]. \n\nNote: It is possible you meant another member of the ribosomal protein L23a pseudogene family, such as RPL23AP53, which has some described associations with cancer biology, but RPL23AP88 itself is specifically classified as a pseudogene and not a protein-coding or functional therapeutic target[1].
