Ribosomal protein L7a pseudogene 58 (RPL7AP58)

Ribosomal protein L7a pseudogene 58 (RPL7AP58) is a human pseudogene associated with the ribosomal protein L7a gene family. As a processed pseudogene, it does not encode a functional protein and is generally considered to lack biological function[5][8][11]. Unlike its protein-coding parent gene (RPL7A), which is a structural component of the 60S ribosomal subunit critical for protein synthesis[4][7], RPL7AP58 lacks evidence of functional protein expression or therapeutic relevance. It is not currently associated with disease mechanisms, drug interactions, or biomarker roles and is typically included in genomic studies as a reference pseudogene rather than a therapeutic target[5][8][11].
