RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 375, pseudogene (RN7SL375P)

RN7SL375P is a processed pseudogene in humans, classified under non-coding RNAs. It is homologous to the functional 7SL RNA gene, which serves as a central scaffold of the signal recognition particle complex responsible for co-translational targeting of secretory proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum[7][8][9]. Unlike its parent gene, RN7SL375P does not code for functional RNA or protein and does not contribute to cellular processes such as protein secretion. Broadly, pseudogenes of the 7SL RNA family originate from genomic incorporation of reverse-transcribed RNA sequences rather than gene duplication, resulting in nonfunctional diversity across the genome[5]. Most 7SL pseudogenes, including RN7SL375P, are considered biologically inert, though some pseudogenes in other families may participate in regulatory RNA functions[4][6]. RN7SL375P is not recognized as a drug target, biomarker, or disease-associated locus in current literature or curated databases[1][2].
