Ribosomal protein S2 pseudogene 28 (RPS2P28)

Ribosomal protein S2 pseudogene 28 (RPS2P28) is a processed pseudogene of the ribosomal protein S2 gene. Pseudogenes like RPS2P28 are duplicated gene sequences that have lost their ability to code for functional proteins. They are prevalent throughout the human genome, especially among ribosomal protein gene families. RPS2P28 shares homology with the functional RPS2 gene, which encodes a ribosomal protein component of the 40S subunit involved in protein synthesis, but RPS2P28 itself is non-functional due to mutations or lack of regulatory elements required for expression. Summary: RPS2P28 is a processed pseudogene, not a drug or therapeutic target. It should not be treated as a functional protein, receptor, or typical drug discovery target.
