Ribosomal protein L7a pseudogene 11 (RPL7AP11)

RPL7AP11 (ribosomal protein L7a pseudogene 11) is a processed pseudogene in the human genome. It is related by sequence to the RPL7A gene, which encodes a ribosomal protein that is part of the 60S subunit of cytoplasmic ribosomes. As a pseudogene, RPL7AP11 does not encode a functional protein and lacks known biological or therapeutic functions. Pseudogenes like RPL7AP11 arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events and lose their ability to produce a functional protein due to accumulated mutations or lack of regulatory elements[7][9]. RPL7AP11 is sometimes referenced in genomic studies for annotation purposes but holds no recognized clinical, pharmacological, or mechanistic significance as a target[1][2][7][9].
