Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 20 (RPL31P20)

RPL31P20 is a processed pseudogene resulting from retrotransposition of the functional RPL31 gene, which encodes a component of the 60S ribosomal subunit[7][2]. Like other ribosomal protein pseudogenes, RPL31P20 does not produce a functional protein, lacks intrinsic biological activity, and is not implicated directly in disease or drug targeting. Its presence in the genome primarily reflects the evolutionary history of ribosomal protein gene duplication and retrotransposition[2][6]. RPL31P20 is a pseudogene—by definition, it is not functionally expressed and does not encode a protein or active biomolecule[2][7]. It should not be considered a drug target, therapeutic target, or biomarker. No therapies, mechanisms of action, or biological functions are attributed to this entry. If you are seeking information on the therapeutic target, consider the parent gene “Ribosomal protein L31” (RPL31), but not the pseudogene RPL31P20.
