7SL RNA 573 pseudogene, cytoplasmic (RN7SL573P)

RN7SL573P is a **pseudogene** corresponding to the 7SL RNA, a critical RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP) complex, but RN7SL573P itself does not encode a functional RNA or protein. Pseudogenes, including RN7SL573P, are genomic sequences related to functional genes (here, 7SL/SRP RNA) but rendered non-functional by mutations or truncations[6]. Only a few loci in the human genome generate functional 7SL RNA, while the majority—including RN7SL573P—are non-expressed, truncated, and considered genetic "fossils," not producing a product or regulatory function under normal conditions[6][5]. Functional 7SL RNA (not pseudogenes) is essential for the SRP's role in protein targeting within cells and has involvement in tumor biology, but such roles are not attributed to its pseudogenes[1][3][6]. **Key points:** - RN7SL573P is **not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or recognized drug target**. - It is **not therapeutically actionable** and **does not have known disease associations**. - There are no drugs, biomarkers, or known safety issues related to this pseudogene. - Its main significance is as part of the large group of 7SL RNA pseudogenes, which arose through retrotransposition and are **genomic relics**[6][5].
