Ribosomal protein S20 pseudogene 2 (RPS20P2)

Ribosomal protein S20 pseudogene 2 (RPS20P2) is classified as a pseudogene corresponding to the functional gene encoding ribosomal protein S20. Pseudogenes are non-functional DNA sequences similar to normal genes but are typically non-coding and lack the ability to produce functional protein. RPS20P2 itself does not encode a protein and is not considered a therapeutic target, receptor, enzyme, or a component of known molecular drug action pathways[8][7]. There are multiple processed pseudogenes for ribosomal protein S20 dispersed in the genome, but only the functional gene, RPS20, actively participates in ribosome biology[3][1]. No direct biological roles, disease implications, or drug interactions are known or reported for RPS20P2.
