Ribosomal protein S23 pseudogene 2 (RPS23P2)

Ribosomal protein S23 pseudogene 2 (RPS23P2) is a processed pseudogene in the human genome that shares sequence similarity with the functional ribosomal protein S23 gene (RPS23). Pseudogenes are non-functional DNA sequences resulting from duplication or retrotransposition events; they generally do not encode proteins and are not considered therapeutic or pharmacological targets[1][2][5][11]. RPS23P2 does not have any known biological function, disease association, or relevance in drug development. The gene is assigned as a pseudogene by authoritative genome annotation projects and is not referenced as a target in therapeutic, diagnostic, or research contexts[1][2][8][11]. RPS23P2 is not a protein, receptor, enzyme, or other conventional drug target but rather a non-functional remnant of a gene, and therefore does not fit the usual criteria for molecular target databases or drug development[1][2][11][8].
