RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 318 (RNA5SP318)

RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 318 (RNA5SP318) is a genomic pseudogene—a non-coding DNA sequence derived from the 5S ribosomal RNA gene that has lost its original function due to mutations or genomic rearrangements[2][4]. Unlike the canonical 5S ribosomal RNA, which is an essential component of the large subunit of eukaryotic ribosomes and contributes to ribosomal structure and protein synthesis[1], RNA5SP318 does not produce a functional RNA product. Pseudogenes like RNA5SP318 may contribute to genome architecture or, rarely, gene regulation, but are generally not associated with cellular or therapeutic functions[4]. No known disease association, molecular function, or drug interaction is described for this pseudogene.
