Ribosomal protein L7a pseudogene 45 (RPL7AP45)

Ribosomal protein L7a pseudogene 45 (RPL7AP45) is a processed pseudogene in the human genome that originates from the gene encoding ribosomal protein L7a (RPL7A), a structural component of the 60S large ribosomal subunit. Unlike the protein-coding RPL7A gene, RPL7AP45 does not encode a functional protein and is not involved in cellular processes such as translation, ribosome assembly, or regulatory interactions. The existence of multiple ribosomal protein pseudogenes, including RPL7AP45, is a well-known genomic feature, and these pseudogenes are generally considered non-functional, with no known implications for disease, drug targeting, or biomarker development[2][4][1].
