Ribosomal protein S11 pseudogene 2 (RPS11P2)

Ribosomal protein S11 pseudogene 2 (RPS11P2) is a processed pseudogene related to the RPS11 gene, which encodes a component of the 40S subunit of the ribosome. Pseudogenes are segments of DNA similar to normal genes but typically non-functional; they do not encode proteins or serve as direct drug targets. RPS11P2 does not have a known biological or therapeutic role and is not implicated in disease or pharmacology. Its primary relevance is as a non-coding genomic element, and it is not suitable as a therapeutic target[1][5][10]. RPS11P2 is a pseudogene, not an active ribosomal protein or a receptor[1][5][10]. It is associated with the RPS11 gene family, encoding ribosomal protein S11, but does not produce a functional protein. No evidence suggests it plays a direct role in disease, therapy, signaling, or drug interaction—unlike protein-coding ribosomal proteins such as RPS11[1][5][10]. Pseudogenes are sometimes involved in gene regulation via non-coding RNA mechanisms, but there is no specific evidence for a direct biological or disease role for RPS11P2 in the current literature. Ribosomal protein S11 pseudogene 2 (RPS11P2, ENSG00000228844) is a non-functional pseudogene, not a druggable target, and presents no documented applications as a disease or therapeutic target[1][5][10].
