RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 34 (RNA5SP34)

RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 34 (RNA5SP34) is a non-coding pseudogene found in the human genome, belonging to the family of 5S ribosomal RNA pseudogenes[2]. Unlike functional 5S rRNA, which is an essential component of the ribosome and plays a role in protein synthesis[1][3][7], 5S ribosomal pseudogenes are generally non-functional remnants of gene duplication or retrotransposition events. There is limited evidence for expression or functional RNA products from most 5S rRNA pseudogenes, including RNA5SP34[6]. Although some 5S rRNA pseudogenes have been implicated in antiviral sensing (e.g., RNA5SP141)[4], no experimental evidence or disease relevance has been established for RNA5SP34.
