Ribosomal protein S7 pseudogene 10 (RPS7P10)

Ribosomal protein S7 pseudogene 10 (RPS7P10) is a **processed pseudogene** on the human genome with high sequence similarity to the functional RPS7 gene, which encodes a component of the 40S small ribosomal subunit[1][3][6]. As a pseudogene, RPS7P10 does not produce a functional protein or participate directly in cellular or disease processes. Like other processed pseudogenes of ribosomal protein genes, RPS7P10 results from ancestral gene duplications and subsequent loss of coding potential; it is typically considered genomically inert and is not a target for therapeutic intervention or drug development[1][3][6].\n\nIf you intended to ask about the active **ribosomal protein S7** (RPS7), that is a functional protein and associated with ribosome assembly, translation, and, when mutated, rare diseases such as Diamond-Blackfan anemia[3][6]. RPS7P10, however, is simply an inactive pseudogene.
