RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 713, pseudogene (RN7SL713P)

RN7SL713P (RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 713, pseudogene) is a pseudogene that closely resembles the 7SL RNA gene, which encodes the RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP), a ribonucleoprotein involved in targeting secretory proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum[1][3][5][4]. As a pseudogene, RN7SL713P is a non-functional copy of the original gene and does not code for a functional RNA or protein product[1][4]. Pseudogenes like RN7SL713P arise commonly through gene duplication or retrotransposition of RNA, but lack the necessary regulatory elements or contain disabling mutations that prevent them from being functional[4][3]. While the canonical 7SL RNA has regulatory and structural roles in protein targeting and has been implicated in some cancer-related processes, pseudogenes such as RN7SL713P typically do **not** contribute directly to biological function, are not considered therapeutic targets, and have no known role in disease or interaction with drugs[1][4][3].
