Ribosomal protein L6 pseudogene 28 (RPL6P28)

**Ribosomal protein L6 pseudogene 28 (RPL6P28)** is a *pseudogene* in the human genome, meaning it resembles a functional gene (in this case, the ribosomal protein L6 gene, RPL6) but is **non-functional** and does not produce a functional protein[3][4]. Pseudogenes such as RPL6P28 are numerous for ribosomal protein genes and occur as processed copies throughout the genome[3][6]. RPL6P28 should not be confused with the true protein-coding gene **RPL6**, which encodes a component of the 60S ribosomal subunit involved in protein synthesis[5][6][8]. As RPL6P28 is non-coding and does not have a biological function, drug interactions, disease involvement, and biomarker applications are not applicable. **Key points:** - RPL6P28 is not a protein-coding gene; it is a non-functional copy (pseudogene) of the ribosomal protein L6 gene[3][4]. - There is no evidence or recognition of RPL6P28 as a therapeutic target or in drug development[3][4]. - No biological functions, disease associations, or drug interactions are known for RPL6P28[3][4].
