Ribosomal protein S10 pseudogene 10 (RPS10P10)

Ribosomal protein S10 pseudogene 10 (RPS10P10) is a processed genomic pseudogene referencing the active RPS10 locus. RPS10P10 is among multiple non-functional copies dispersed in the genome and does not encode an active ribosomal protein or have known biological activity. The functional parent gene, ribosomal protein S10 (RPS10), produces a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit essential for protein synthesis, while RPS10P10 and similar pseudogenes are remnants of gene duplication or retrotransposition events[1][2][3][5].\n\nKey distinction:\nWhile RPS10 is an essential ribosomal protein and a proven disease-associated gene (e.g., Diamond-Blackfan anemia), RPS10P10 is not an active protein or therapeutic target and should not be considered for receptor or drug-target studies[1][2][3][5].\n\nIf you need information on the functional ribosomal protein S10, use RPS10 (Ribosomal protein S10) as the query.
