Ribosomal protein L7 pseudogene 22 (RPL7P22)

RPL7P22 is a processed pseudogene in humans, its sequence derived from the functional ribosomal protein L7 gene (RPL7). Unlike its parent gene, RPL7P22 does not encode an active protein and lacks a well-defined biological or molecular function. Processed pseudogenes are generated by reverse transcription and insertion of mRNA back into the genome, and while some pseudogenes are implicated in gene regulation, RPL7P22 is not recognized as a functional pseudogene with disease or therapeutic relevance. In summary, RPL7P22 is not a valid molecular target for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes; it is a processed pseudogene, not a protein nor a functional receptor, enzyme, or other known druggable target class.
