RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 799, pseudogene (RN7SL799P)

RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 799, pseudogene (RN7SL799P) is a human genomic sequence classified as a **pseudogene** of the 7SL RNA, a core component of the signal recognition particle (SRP) involved in cotranslational targeting of nascent secretory and membrane proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum[3][6][7][8]. Unlike functional 7SL RNA genes, RN7SL799P lacks the ability to produce functional RNA required for SRP complex assembly and activity[4][7][8]. Instead, it is a non-coding, likely non-functional remnant that arose through duplication or reverse transcription of the ancestral gene, with typical truncation or mutation preventing normal function[6][7][8]. **Pseudogenes** like RN7SL799P are generally not protein-coding, do not participate in canonical molecular pathways, are not recognized therapeutic targets, and have no established physiological or disease-related roles[4]. If you require information on the functional counterpart ("RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic", also known as SRP RNA), or on 7SL RNA’s role in biology and disease, let me know.
