Ribosomal protein L36 pseudogene 13 (RPL36P13)

RPL36P13 is a human pseudogene identified as "Ribosomal protein L36 pseudogene 13". Pseudogenes arise from protein-coding genes but have lost their ability to encode functional proteins due to mutations, insertions, deletions, or genomic rearrangements. RPL36P13 is related to (but distinct from) RPL36, which encodes the actual functional ribosomal protein L36—a structural component of the 60S ribosomal subunit involved in cellular protein synthesis. Unlike RPL36, RPL36P13 does not encode any active protein, is not involved in any known biological function or disease process, and is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or biomarker. Its annotation is strictly as a genomic pseudogene—an inactive remnant of a ribosomal protein gene[6][5]. Key notes: - RPL36P13 should not be regarded as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or any canonical therapeutic target. - There is no functional protein product, biological activity, disease relevance, or drug interactions described for this pseudogene[6][5]. - There is nothing therapeutically notable about this pseudogene, and its inclusion as a drug target or biomarker would be incorrect. If you require information about the functional ribosomal protein, refer to RPL36 (Ribosomal protein L36) instead[3][4].
