Ribosomal protein S2 pseudogene 36 (RPS2P36)

Ribosomal protein S2 pseudogene 36 (RPS2P36) is a **processed pseudogene** derived from the ribosomal protein S2 gene (RPS2)[5]. Pseudogenes such as RPS2P36 are non-functional remnants of protein-coding genes generated through retrotransposition or duplication events. While the parent RPS2 gene encodes a component of the small 40S ribosomal subunit and plays a role in protein synthesis[2][3][6], RPS2P36 itself does not encode a functional protein, has no known biological activity, and is dispersed in the genome among many other ribosomal pseudogenes as part of normal genomic architecture[5]. There is no evidence for a role of RPS2P36 in human disease, drug interactions, or therapeutic targeting. In summary, RPS2P36 is a **genomic pseudogene**, not a functional biological target. It does not fulfill criteria for molecular classification, function, or drug targeting—queries regarding its role as a receptor, enzyme, or disease gene are incorrect in the context of current scientific understanding[5][2][3][6].
