Ribosomal protein L36a pseudogene

This entry represents a processed pseudogene related to the human ribosomal protein L36a (RPL36A). Processed pseudogenes arise from the reverse transcription and integration of mature mRNA, lacking introns and typically not encoding functional protein. In humans, there are multiple pseudogenes of RPL36A dispersed across the genome. These pseudogenes, including those with Ensembl gene IDs like ENSG00000239719, do not produce functional protein and are not considered therapeutic targets, nor are they associated with disease or drug interactions. The functional RPL36A gene encodes a component of the cytoplasmic 60S ribosomal subunit essential for protein synthesis, but this does not apply to its pseudogenes[1][2][3][4][6].
