RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 477, pseudogene (RN7SL477P)

RN7SL477P is a human pseudogene derived from the 7SL RNA, a key non-coding RNA that forms part of the signal recognition particle (SRP) in cells. While the functional 7SL RNA is essential for directing secretory and membrane protein synthesis through the SRP pathway, RN7SL477P itself is a truncated, non-functional DNA segment embedded in the genome as a result of reverse genetic flow—essentially a molecular relic rather than an active gene. It does not encode a protein, is not expressed, and has no recognized biological or disease role; its inclusion in genomic databases serves primarily as a record of genetic history[1][5][6][7]. Although some pseudogenes can regulate gene expression or act as miRNA decoys, there is no evidence to suggest that RN7SL477P has such functions[4][8].
