RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 174, pseudogene (RN7SL174P)

**RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 174, pseudogene** (RN7SL174P) is classified as a **pseudogene** version of the 7SL RNA gene, located on chromosome 5[2][4]. The 7SL RNA itself is a functional non-coding RNA that is an integral RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP), which plays an essential role in protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum[1][3][7]. However, pseudogenes like RN7SL174P are the result of reverse transcription and chromosomal integration of 7SL RNA but are **nonfunctional** and not known to be transcribed or to participate in cellular processes[5]. Pseudogenes of this class do not code for functional protein or RNA, have no known biological activity, and are not considered therapeutic targets. There is **no evidence** to support any interaction with drugs, disease involvement, biomarker utility, or safety issues related to this specific pseudogene[2][4][5]. Notes: - RN7SL174P is frequently misinterpreted as a functional gene, but as a pseudogene, it does not produce functional RNA or protein products[5]. - The only functional 7SL RNA components with established biological roles are RN7SL1, RN7SL2, and RN7SL3 in humans[1][3]; RN7SL174P is not among these functional genes. - Most references and research on functional significance, disease, or drugs will refer to RN7SL1 or related RNAs, not to RN7SL174P[3][7].
