Ribosomal protein L32 pseudogene 17 (RPL32P17)

Ribosomal protein L32 pseudogene 17 (RPL32P17) is a non-coding DNA sequence present in the human genome that resembles the ribosomal protein L32 (RPL32) gene but does not encode a functional protein. Pseudogenes like RPL32P17 arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events and typically accumulate mutations that prevent their translation. They are generally not transcribed or translated under normal cellular conditions, and they are not part of the functional ribosome machinery. While some pseudogenes have been observed to participate in regulatory mechanisms as non-coding RNAs, there are no specific reports of RPL32P17 having such roles. RPL32P17 is not considered a druggable target and lacks therapeutic relevance[1][3][5].
