Ribosomal protein S3 pseudogene 1 (RPS3P1)

Ribosomal protein S3 pseudogene 1 (RPS3P1) is classified as a processed pseudogene in human genetics, meaning it resembles the ribosomal protein S3 gene but does not encode a functional protein[4][7]. Pseudogenes typically arise from duplication or retrotransposition events and lack regulatory elements or coding capacity needed for protein production. RPS3P1 is officially recognized by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee and listed as a “pseudogene” rather than a protein-coding gene. It has no known molecular function, does not participate in any cellular processes, and is not a therapeutic or diagnostic target[4][7]. If you intended to refer to the functional RPS3 gene or ribosomal protein S3, please clarify, as RPS3 encodes a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit involved in protein synthesis and has roles in DNA repair and apoptosis[1][3][5], but RPS3P1 itself does not serve any recognized biological or therapeutic role.
