Ribosomal protein L36a pseudogene 25 (RPL36AP25)

Ribosomal protein L36a pseudogene 25 (RPL36AP25) is a human processed pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional copy of a protein-coding gene, specifically derived from the parental ribosomal protein L36a gene. It resides on chromosome 17 and, like other processed pseudogenes, does not encode a functional protein but may potentially play roles in gene regulation at the RNA level, such as acting as a competing endogenous RNA or miRNA sponge; however, there is no direct evidence for this specific pseudogene. RPL36AP25 is not considered a therapeutic target and has no known direct roles in disease, drug interactions, or established functions beyond being a genomic relic and potential regulatory RNA.
