Ribosomal protein S17 pseudogene 11 (RPS17P11)

Ribosomal protein S17 pseudogene 11 (RPS17P11) is one of many processed pseudogenes derived from the parent gene RPS17, which encodes a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit essential for protein synthesis in human cells[3][4][5]. Pseudogenes like RPS17P11 are DNA sequences that resemble protein-coding genes but do not produce functional proteins, typically due to mutations or lack of regulatory elements. These pseudogenes are widely dispersed throughout the human genome, especially for ribosomal protein genes[3][5][6]. RPS17P11 itself does not encode a functional ribosomal protein, does not participate in ribosome assembly, and has no established biological, pathophysiological, or therapeutic role. If you are seeking information on the functional ribosomal protein S17 (RPS17), which supports production of the ribosomal 40S subunit and whose dysfunction is associated with Diamond-Blackfan anemia, it is a different entity—RPS17, not RPS17P11[3][4][5].
