Ribosomal protein S12 pseudogene 17 (RPS12P17)

Target: RPS12P17
Molecular classification: Other (Pseudogene)

Overview

Ribosomal protein S12 pseudogene 17 (RPS12P17) is a human pseudogene derived from the ribosomal protein S12 gene. Like other processed pseudogenes, RPS12P17 arose via genomic events such as retrotransposition or DNA duplication. These pseudogenes typically retain sequence similarity to their parental genes but lack protein-coding potential due to disabling mutations, truncations, or insertions[4][5][9]. While functional ribosomal protein S12 is a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit essential for protein synthesis[7], pseudogenes like RPS12P17 do not have any known biological or therapeutic function and are not used as drug targets or biomarkers. Their presence in the genome reflects evolutionary history and genome dynamics rather than current biological activity or clinical relevance[4][5][9].

Other names: RPS12P17RPS12_8_1057Ribosomal Protein S12 Pseudogene 17

Biological functions

Other (no known biological function; processed pseudogenes generally do not yield active protein products and are not known to have standard protein functions)

Disease associations

Other (no direct implication in disease; functional ribosomal protein genes may be altered in disease, but pseudogenes themselves do not encode biologically active proteins)
