Ribosomal protein S27a pseudogene

A ribosomal protein S27a pseudogene is a *non-functional genomic copy* derived from the RPS27A gene, which normally encodes a critical 40S ribosomal subunit protein involved in protein synthesis and ubiquitin precursor processing[1][2][3][5]. Pseudogenes generally do not produce functional proteins nor participate in known regulatory or pathological roles, although rare exceptions of pseudogene protein expression exist for some families[7]. Ribosomal protein S27a pseudogenes are classified as *pseudogenes*, not as receptors, enzymes, or typical therapeutic targets[7]. The term "ribosomal protein S27a pseudogene" is not a canonical target name in drug discovery or clinical diagnostics.
