RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 108 (RNA5SP108)

RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 108 (RNA5SP108) is a human pseudogene annotated as part of the 5S ribosomal RNA gene family. It does not code for protein or functional RNA and is not involved in ribosomal structure or function. Pseudogenes arise as defunct copies of functional genes through gene duplication or retrotransposition and generally accumulate mutations or deletions that render them nonfunctional[6][8]. While 5S rRNA is a conserved structural component of ribosomes necessary for protein synthesis[1][3][7], pseudogenes like RNA5SP108 do not participate in these processes. There is no evidence of regulatory, disease, or drug-target roles for this pseudogene; its annotation is primarily of genomic and evolutionary interest rather than biomedical relevance[2][4][8].
