RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 346 (RNA5SP346)

**RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 346 (RNA5SP346)** is a human pseudogene related to the 5S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene family[5]. It is not a protein-coding gene and represents a non-functional, duplicated segment of 5S rRNA. Pseudogenes like RNA5SP346 arise through gene duplication or retrotransposition events but accumulate mutations that prevent their normal expression or function[2]. 5S rRNA itself is an essential structural RNA in the ribosome, but this pseudogene does not have a direct biological role, is not a therapeutic target, and has no known function, drug interactions, biomarker status, or disease association[5]. Its presence is primarily relevant for genomic annotation and does not impact ribosome function or cellular biology.\n\n**Notes:**\n- RNA5SP346 is a non-coding RNA pseudogene, not an enzyme, receptor, transporter, or any recognized drug target[5].\n- The "is_incorrect" field is set to true because this is not a canonical therapeutic target, has no functional role, and is unlikely to be relevant in drug discovery or development.\n- There is no evidence of universal biological function, disease association, or utility as a biomarker for this pseudogene[5].\n- "Other" is used for molecular class and function because "Pseudogene" is not a standard class in most drug target schemas, and it lacks canonical roles in signaling, metabolism, or disease[2][5].
