5S ribosomal RNA pseudogene 311 (RNA5SP311)

5S ribosomal RNA pseudogene 311 (RNA5SP311) is annotated as a *pseudogene* of the ribosomal 5S RNA gene family. Pseudogenes are genomic sequences similar to known genes but not believed to produce functional protein or RNA products. Most 5S ribosomal RNA pseudogenes are non-functional remnants of ancestral genes, often occurring in multiple copies throughout the human genome. While certain pseudogenes have emerging regulatory roles (such as acting as miRNA decoys or long non-coding RNAs influencing gene expression in cancer and other diseases), there is no evidence in the scientific literature that RNA5SP311 itself—among the many 5S ribosomal pseudogenes—acts as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or has direct disease involvement in any tissue[1][3].
