Ribosomal protein L26 pseudogene 6 (RPL26P6)

Ribosomal protein L26 pseudogene 6 (RPL26P6) is a human pseudogene located on chromosome 10q22.2, identified as a non-functional, processed copy of the gene encoding ribosomal protein L26. As a pseudogene, RPL26P6 does not produce a functional protein product and is not known to play a direct biological role or serve as a therapeutic target. It is one of multiple processed pseudogenes related to the functional ribosomal protein L26 gene, which encodes a structural component of the large (60S) subunit of the cytoplasmic ribosome. The functional RPL26 gene is involved in ribosome assembly, protein synthesis, and has been linked to certain diseases such as Diamond-Blackfan anemia, but RPL26P6 itself lacks such functions or clinical relevance[2][4][7].
