Ribosomal protein S7 pseudogene 14 (RPS7P14)

RPS7P14 (ribosomal protein S7 pseudogene 14) is a processed pseudogene in the human genome, named for its sequence similarity to the functional ribosomal protein S7 (RPS7) gene[2]. Pseudogenes do not encode functional proteins and are generally considered transcriptionally inactive, though in rare cases some may be transcribed into RNA. The functional RPS7 is a structural component of the eukaryotic ribosome’s 40S subunit and is essential for protein synthesis[3][6]. By contrast, RPS7P14 retains sequence similarity to RPS7 but is not known to participate in any therapeutic, enzymatic, or regulatory activity. It is not considered a drug target or a molecule of clinical interest. RPS7P14 is a pseudogene and not a functional protein or receptor. It does not serve as a therapeutic target. It does not interact with drugs, nor is it implicated in disease or biological pathways. The entry is primarily for genomic and evolutionary annotation rather than biomedical relevance[2][3][6].
