Ribosomal protein L30 pseudogene 12 (RPL30P12)

Ribosomal protein L30 pseudogene 12 (RPL30P12) is one of many processed pseudogenes present in the human genome, derived from the parent RPL30 gene coding for ribosomal protein L30, a component of the 60S subunit of cytoplasmic ribosomes. Pseudogenes such as RPL30P12 arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events; they typically lack regulatory elements, introns, and do not encode functional proteins. Abundant ribosomal protein pseudogenes exist in the human genome, but only very few (the so-called "rescued pseudogenes") have any documented function or expression. RPL30P12 itself has no evidence of being a transcribed, translated, or functional protein, nor is it recognized as a drug target, biomarker, or molecule involved in disease pathways. Its listing as a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, transporter, or similar is incorrect. The parent gene, RPL30, is protein-coding and has roles in ribosome structure and diseases such as Diamond-Blackfan anemia, but RPL30P12 does not share these properties.
