RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 306, pseudogene (RN7SL306P)

RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 306, pseudogene (RN7SL306P) is a human **pseudogene** that corresponds to a non-functional, typically non-expressed genomic DNA sequence related to the 7SL RNA gene. The true 7SL RNA is an essential component of the signal recognition particle (SRP), a ribonucleoprotein complex involved in targeting newly synthesized proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum[3][5]. However, like most 7SL pseudogenes, RN7SL306P is an **inactive genetic relic** formed by reverse transcription of RNA and reintegration into the genome, lacking evidence for functional RNA or protein product[1][2]. Pseudogenes in general may occasionally participate in regulatory functions, such as serving as decoys for microRNAs or RNA-binding proteins, but there is no evidence of any specific function, disease association, or druggability for RN7SL306P itself[1][4][6].
