Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 9 (RPL31P9)

Ribosomal protein L31 pseudogene 9 (RPL31P9) is a processed pseudogene of the RPL31 gene, which encodes a structural protein component of the 60S subunit of cytoplasmic ribosomes[1][8][9]. Pseudogenes such as RPL31P9 do not produce functional proteins; instead, they are the result of gene duplication or retrotransposition events that have rendered them non-coding due to the accumulation of disabling mutations[8]. While the functional RPL31 gene is implicated in ribosome assembly and protein synthesis, the pseudogene RPL31P9 has no known protein product or biological function, does not serve enzymatic, receptor, transporter, or signaling roles, and is not a direct disease target or biomarker[8][9].
