Ribosomal protein S17 pseudogene 2 (RPS17P2)

RPS17P2 is a processed pseudogene located on chromosome 5q23.1[5]. It shares high sequence similarity with the functional ribosomal protein S17 gene (RPS17)[5], but, as a pseudogene, it does not encode a functional protein product and is not involved in ribosome function. Like most ribosomal protein pseudogenes, RPS17P2 arose via retrotransposition and does not perform a known biological function, nor is it associated with any disease roles or therapeutic interventions[8][5]. As such, it is not a drug target, a functional biomarker, or implicated in human disease. RPS17P2 is not a protein-coding gene but a pseudogene; it does not produce a biologically active target and has no reported role in disease, detectable phenotype, or response to drugs[5][8]. Its parent gene, RPS17, encodes a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit, but this is not true of the pseudogene[1][5]. No drugs, mechanisms, or biomarker functions are associated with RPS17P2. RPS17P2 is a non-functional pseudogene with no known biological activity, disease association, or drug interactions, and should not be considered a therapeutically relevant molecular target[5][8].
