5S ribosomal RNA pseudogene 373 (RNA5SP373)

5S ribosomal RNA pseudogene 373 (RNA5SP373) is a processed pseudogene that resembles the 5S ribosomal RNA gene but contains sequence defects and is generally considered nonfunctional[1][2][10]. Processed pseudogenes like RNA5SP373 arise via retrotransposition events and lack introns and protein-coding potential[2][6]. Unlike its functional gene counterpart, 5S rRNA, which is integral to ribosome structure and protein synthesis[3][5], RNA5SP373 does not produce a functional RNA or protein product and is not implicated as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or disease gene[1][10]. Notes on correctness and target status: This entry is not a therapeutic, diagnostic, or pharmacologic target, and its designation as a "target" is incorrect. It is a genomic pseudogene, not a receptor, enzyme, or druggable entity. No drugs, disease roles, or monitoring biomarkers are associated with pseudogenes of this type[1][10].
