5S ribosomal RNA pseudogene 107 (RNA5SP107)

RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 107" (RNA5SP107; also known as RN5S107, RNA 5S ribosomal 107) refers to a **processed pseudogene** of the human 5S ribosomal RNA gene family. Pseudogenes are genomic sequences similar to known genes but are typically non-functional due to mutations, lack of regulatory elements, or inability to be transcribed and/or translated[2][4]. The parent 5S ribosomal RNA (5S rRNA) is a highly conserved, functional component of the ribosome's large subunit across domains of life, with essential roles in ribosome assembly and protein synthesis[1][3][5]. However, *pseudogenes* like RNA5SP107 do **not contribute to mature ribosomes** and are **not considered therapeutic targets, receptors, enzymes, or transporters**. Although some pseudogenes may have regulatory functions at the RNA level, such as acting as miRNA decoys, antisense RNA, or producing lncRNAs, most—including rRNA pseudogenes—lack clear, well-established biological or clinical functions in health or disease[4]. Currently, there is *no evidence* that RNA5SP107 plays a direct role in disease, acts as a biomarker, interacts with any drugs, or presents specific therapeutic or safety concerns. RNA5SP107’s status as a pseudogene, and not a protein or non-coding functional RNA, means it should not be classified as a therapeutic target. Its name or description in a "target" context is likely erroneous or the result of automated annotation and not supported by current scientific evidence[2][4].
