Ribosomal protein L7 pseudogene 46 (RPL7P46)

RPL7P46, or "ribosomal protein L7 pseudogene 46", is a processed pseudogene located in the human genome that shares sequence similarity with the ribosomal protein L7 gene (RPL7). Pseudogenes like RPL7P46 arise from duplication or retrotransposition events and typically do not encode functional proteins. While the parental RPL7 gene encodes a structural component of the 60S ribosomal subunit involved in protein synthesis and has known biochemical and disease associations, RPL7P46 itself does not produce a functional protein and is not involved in molecular mechanisms such as signaling, enzyme activity, or drug interaction. Thus, RPL7P46 should not be mistaken for a druggable therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or transporter, and there is no evidence of it serving as a biomarker or being associated with safety concerns. Other aliases for this locus include "RPL7_26_1472".
