Ribosomal protein S17 pseudogene 5 (RPS17P5)

Ribosomal protein S17 pseudogene 5 (RPS17P5) is classified as a **processed pseudogene**[5][8]. It is one of multiple non-functional copies in the human genome that resemble the gene encoding ribosomal protein S17 (RPS17), but does not encode a functional protein product. Unlike protein-coding genes, pseudogenes such as RPS17P5 do not have a well-defined biological or molecular function[5][8]. It is annotated as a pseudogene in major genetic databases and is not considered a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or any conventional drug target[5]. There are no known drug interactions, disease associations, or clinical utility for RPS17P5. Its presence is purely genomic, with no established transcriptional or translational activity impacting cellular phenotypes[5][8]. If you require structured target information for canonical protein-coding ribosomal protein S17 (not the pseudogene), refer instead to "Ribosomal protein S17" (RPS17)[2][6][9].
