5S ribosomal RNA pseudogene 201 (RNA5SP201)

5S ribosomal pseudogene 201 is a non-functional pseudogene derived from the 5S ribosomal RNA gene. The functional parental gene, 5S rRNA, is a short non-coding RNA integrated into the large ribosomal subunit, essential for ribosome structure and function[1][3]. Pseudogenes like RNA5SP201, however, have accumulated mutations that prevent them from producing a functional product. They are common in eukaryotic genomes and represent evolutionary remnants, generally without physiological or disease relevance[1][3]. There are no known roles as a drug target, no therapeutic or biomarker associations, and no reported safety concerns.
