Ribosomal protein L36a pseudogene 34 (RPL36AP34)

Ribosomal protein L36a pseudogene 34 (RPL36AP34) is a genomic sequence in humans classified as a pseudogene, not encoding a functional protein. It is related to the ribosomal protein L36a family but arose through the process of retrotransposition, resulting in a non-coding, typically transcriptionally silent locus. While some pseudogenes are known to regulate their parent genes or modulate gene expression in specific contexts, there is no evidence or published literature indicating any regulatory, coding, or disease role for RPL36AP34 specifically. Like other ribosomal protein pseudogenes, it is mainly considered genomic "passenger" DNA with no known direct biological or clinical relevance.
