RLIG1 pseudogene 1 (RLIG1P1)

RLIG1 pseudogene 1 (RLIG1P1; also known as C12orf29P1 or C12orf29 pseudogene 1) is a pseudogene locus in the human genome. A pseudogene is a genomic DNA sequence similar to a legitimate gene but generally nonfunctional due to mutations or lack of regulatory elements needed for expression[2]. RLIG1P1 is related in sequence to the RLIG1 gene, which encodes RNA 5'-phosphate and 3'-OH ligase 1—a protein involved in RNA ligation and potentially cellular responses to stress[1][4]. However, RLIG1P1 itself is believed to lack biological activity and is not associated with any known therapeutic applications, protein products, or disease relevance. *Note: If you are looking for information about the functional RLIG1 gene (RNA 5'-phosphate and 3'-OH ligase 1, also briefly called C12orf29), not its pseudogene, that is a protein-coding gene with proven biological function as an RNA ligase involved in tRNA biology and cellular RNA repair[1][4].*
