RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 654, pseudogene (RN7SL654P)

RN7SL654P is one of hundreds of human pseudogenes derived from the 7SL RNA gene, which constitutes the RNA backbone of the signal recognition particle utilized in protein translocation in cells[1][6]. 7SL pseudogenes, including RN7SL654P, are typically short, truncated, and non-functional remnants inserted into the genome through reverse transcription. Unlike the functional 7SL RNA, which is critical for SRP-mediated protein targeting to membranes, these pseudogenes do not encode active RNA or protein products and are not involved in cell signaling or disease. The majority of 7SL pseudogenes are evolutionary byproducts with no established biological or clinical significance[1][6].
