Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 17 (RPL31P17)

Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 17 (RPL31P17) is a processed pseudogene found in the human genome, annotated with identifiers such as HGNC: 36995, NCBI Gene: 653773, and Ensembl: ENSG00000235225[5][8]. This pseudogene is related by sequence similarity to the functional RPL31 gene, which encodes a component of the large 60S ribosomal subunit involved in protein synthesis[2][3]. As a pseudogene, RPL31P17 does not encode a functional protein and, therefore, does not serve as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or therapeutic target. There are no described biological functions, disease roles, drug interactions, mechanisms of action, known biomarker roles, or relevant safety concerns associated with this genomic entity. Its presence is typical of pseudogenes derived from genes encoding highly conserved ribosomal proteins[5][8].
