ribosomal protein S28 pseudogene 1 (RPS28P1)

Ribosomal protein S28 pseudogene 1 (RPS28P1) is a processed pseudogene corresponding to the active ribosomal protein S28 gene. It does not encode a functional protein and is not a component of the ribosome, nor is it considered a target for therapeutic intervention. It is one of several pseudogenes related to RPS28 dispersed throughout the human genome[3][2][5]. The functional RPS28 protein, by contrast, is a component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit and is essential for ribosome assembly and protein synthesis[1][3][5]. Key clarification: If you are interested in the functional ribosomal protein S28 (RPS28), not its pseudogenes, information should be sought for "ribosomal protein S28" or "RPS28" instead of "ribosomal protein S28 pseudogene 1" or "RPS28P1"[3][1][5].
