Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 45 (RPL31P45)

Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 45 (RPL31P45) is a **processed pseudogene** of the gene encoding ribosomal protein L31 (RPL31), which is a component of the 60S large ribosomal subunit and plays a role in protein synthesis in the cytoplasm[1][2][6]. In humans, many such pseudogenes exist for ribosomal protein genes, but **RPL31P45 does not encode a functional protein and has no described biological role, disease linkage, or relevance as a drug target**. The actual *ribosomal protein L31* is a structural component of the ribosome, with implications in inherited anemias when mutated, but these properties do not pertain to *RPL31P45*, which is non-coding[1][2][6]. \n\n**Important notes:**\n- RPL31P45 is not a therapeutic target; it is a non-functional pseudogene.\n- The canonical protein-coding gene is **Ribosomal protein L31 (RPL31)**[1][2][4], not RPL31P45.\n- The entry is technically *incorrect as a drug target* and is often included by mistake in non-curated gene lists[6]. \n\n**Summary for downstream structuring:** \n- The entry “ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 45 (RPL31P45)” is a **processed pseudogene**, not a valid drug target, receptor, enzyme, or therapeutic entity. It should not be considered for further drug discovery or clinical development activities.
