Ribosomal protein S18 pseudogene 6 (RPS18P6)

Ribosomal protein S18 pseudogene 6 (RPS18P6) is a processed pseudogene in the mouse genome. It is a non-functional copy of the ribosomal protein S18 gene, which is a component of the small 40S ribosomal subunit responsible for catalyzing protein synthesis in cells. Unlike the canonical RPS18 gene, RPS18P6 lacks coding potential and does not encode a functional protein. It does not have established biological function, disease associations, or roles as a therapeutic target[7][8]. In summary, RPS18P6 is a non-functional pseudogene and thus should not be considered a therapeutic target, biomarker, or drug-interaction partner. If referenced as a target, this is likely due to incorrect annotation or confusion with the functional RPS18 gene[7][8].
