RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 376, pseudogene (RN7SL376P)

RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 376, pseudogene (abbreviated RN7SL376P) is a human **processed pseudogene** related to the 7SL RNA gene family[1][2][6][8]. Pseudogenes are genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but are non-functional; most arise from the reverse transcription of RNA copies (processed pseudogenes) or from gene duplication events but accumulate disabling mutations and are not translated into proteins[4][5]. The human genome contains hundreds of 7SL RNA-like sequences; only a few code for functional 7SL RNA, the core RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP)[5][7][9]. The majority, including RN7SL376P, are **pseudogenes** and are not believed to have biological activity[1][2][6][8]. While some transcribed pseudogenes elsewhere in the genome have been shown to regulate gene expression (e.g., as microRNA decoys or competitive endogenous RNAs), there is no evidence that RN7SL376P is functional in this manner[4][10]. RN7SL376P is not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other typical drug target class, nor does it have a described role in pathology or clinical utility[1][2][6][8]. **Summary**: RN7SL376P is a *pseudogene* with sequence homology to the 7SL RNA gene but lacks a known biological or pathological function—it is not considered a therapeutic target, nor does it have interacting drugs or associated safety considerations[1][2][6][8].
