Ribosomal protein L35a pseudogene 2 (RPL35AP2)

Ribosomal protein L35a pseudogene 2 (RPL35AP2) is a processed pseudogene with sequence similarity to the functional ribosomal protein L35a gene but does not encode a functional protein and is not known to be transcribed or translated[1][6]. Pseudogenes like RPL35AP2 arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events and typically do not produce active protein products. RPL35AP2 is not considered a therapeutic target; it lacks catalytic, signaling, or receptor activity and does not belong to conventional therapeutic target classes such as enzymes or receptors[1][6][4]. While some pseudogenes have been reported to play regulatory roles in gene expression, there are no published data specifically linking RPL35AP2 to such functions, to disease biology, or to interaction with approved drugs[1][6][7].
