Genomic Region	Intergenic
Retrocopy Summary	Rpl38P6, located on chr7:28149935-28150188, is a retrocopy of the parental gene Rpl38. Retrocopies of protein-coding genes, also known as processed pseudogenes, are intriguing genomic elements with implications in genome evolution and diseases. While some retrocopies are non-functional, there are examples of retrocopies (retrogenes) acquiring regulatory roles or exhibiting neofunctionalization unrelated to their parental genes.

Parental Gene

Gene Name	Rpl38
Full Name	ribosomal protein L38
Also known as	0610025G13Rik\|Rbt\|Ts\|Tss
Coordinate	chr11:114558644-114563159
Strand	+
Gene summary	Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including 90S preribosome assembly; middle ear morphogenesis; and sensory perception of sound. Part of eukaryotic 80S initiation complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in thymus primordium. Used to study otitis media. Orthologous to human RPL38 (ribosomal protein L38). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
