Ribosomal protein L34 pseudogene 22 (RPL34P22)

RPL34P22 (ribosomal protein L34 pseudogene 22) is a human pseudogene, classified as a processed pseudogene related to the ribosomal protein L34 (RPL34) gene family[2][6][9][11]. Unlike the functional RPL34 gene, which encodes a component of the large 60S ribosomal subunit involved in protein synthesis, RPL34P22 does not encode a functional protein and is not believed to have an active biological role[2][9][11]. Pseudogenes like RPL34P22 arise from duplication or retrotransposition events and usually lack the regulatory elements or coding potential necessary to produce a functional product; therefore, it is not considered a molecular target for therapeutics or diagnostics[9][11]. Alternative names and identifiers include RPL34_12_1141, ENSG00000244267 (Ensembl), and 100271498 (NCBI Gene)[2][6][9].
