Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 46 (RPL31P46)

Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 46 (RPL31P46) is a processed pseudogene located on chromosome 11 (GRCh38:CM000673.2), specifically at 74,919,587-74,919,965 on the forward strand[2]. It is a genomic fragment derived from the functional RPL31 gene, which encodes a component of the 60S ribosomal subunit involved in protein synthesis[7][3]. Pseudogenes like RPL31P46 are typically non-functional, result from retrotransposition events, and are distributed throughout the human genome[5]. While ribosomal protein pseudogenes may act as evolutionary markers or—much more rarely—have regulatory effects, RPL31P46 does not encode a functional protein and has no recognized biological or disease role[2][5][8].\n\nIn summary, RPL31P46 (Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 46) is a non-functional pseudogene and not a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, transporter, nor used in drug discovery or clinical biomarker applications[2][5][8].

None; pseudogenes do not encode protein, thus no drug mechanism is applicable
