RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 338, pseudogene (RN7SL338P)

RN7SL338P is a pseudogene derived from the 7SL RNA gene, located on human chromosome 9. 7SL pseudogenes are typically truncated, non-coding copies dispersed throughout the human genome, formed by reverse transcription of functional 7SL RNA into DNA. While functional 7SL RNA is a key component of the signal recognition particle required for co- and post-translational protein targeting within the cell, pseudogene copies such as RN7SL338P do not encode active RNA and are generally not expressed at significant levels. Pseudogenes may have potential regulatory roles as non-coding RNAs, such as acting as competitive endogenous RNAs, but there is no established function or disease relevance attributed specifically to RN7SL338P. It is not considered a therapeutic target, and its name and annotation are correct as a pseudogene in current databases.
