RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 552, pseudogene (RN7SL552P)

RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 552, pseudogene (RN7SL552P) is a processed pseudogene originating from the 7SL RNA gene. The 7SL RNA is a non-coding RNA element that forms part of the signal recognition particle (SRP) complex, which is involved in targeting nascent proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum during translation[3][4][5]. RN7SL552P, like the majority of 7SL RNA-derived pseudogenes, is a truncated, nonfunctional copy that likely results from retrotransposition events. It does not encode a protein, is not expressed as a functional molecule, and is not regarded as a drug target, receptor, or biomarker. While some pseudogenes in the human genome can produce regulatory RNAs affecting gene expression as competing endogenous RNAs or siRNAs, most—including RN7SL552P—have no proven biological function or involvement in disease[2][5].
