Ribosomal protein L36a pseudogene 40 (RPL36AP40)

Target: RPL36AP40
Molecular classification: Other (Pseudogene)

Overview

Ribosomal protein L36a pseudogene 40 (RPL36AP40) is a pseudogene in Homo sapiens, named for its sequence similarity to the functional ribosomal protein L36a gene (RPL36A). Unlike the active RPL36A, this pseudogene does not encode a functional ribosomal protein and lacks experimental evidence of translation. Pseudogenes, such as RPL36AP40, can arise when gene copies accumulate mutations that disable their protein-coding capacity; some may have regulatory roles (e.g., acting as decoys for regulatory RNAs), but no such function is established for this gene. RPL36AP40 is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, transporter, or biomarker. There are no known drugs, mechanisms of action, disease associations, or safety concerns related to this specific pseudogene.

Biological functions

Other (no known bona fide biological function; pseudogenes may contribute to gene regulation through RNA mechanisms, but not as canonical proteins)

Disease associations

Other (no direct disease association known for RPL36AP40; some ribosomal pseudogenes may indirectly modulate disease processes, but there is no data for this specific pseudogene)
