RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 160 (RNA5SP160)

RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 160 (RNA5SP160) is classified as a pseudogene of the 5S ribosomal RNA gene family[2]. Pseudogenes are non-functional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes but are generally not transcribed into functional products and do not encode proteins or functional RNAs[2][4][8]. RNA5SP160 does not produce functional ribosomal RNA and does not play a direct biological role in ribosome structure or function. It is not considered a therapeutic target and does not have established roles in disease, drug interactions, or biomarker status. The presence of “pseudogene” in its name and its categorization in genomic references supports that it is not an active molecule, but rather a remnant of ribosomal RNA gene duplication or processing events[2][8]. There is no evidence that RNA5SP160 has a direct or indirect effect on disease, drug mechanism, or normal biological processes, which is typical for processed pseudogenes unless otherwise specifically annotated. The gene is referenced with HGNC ID: 43060 and NCBI Gene: 100873426[2]. This “target” is therefore not a therapeutically relevant entity, and its inclusion as a receptor or drug target is incorrect.
