RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 110 (RNA5SP110)

RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 110 (RNA5SP110) is a **pseudogene** in the human genome. Pseudogenes are typically segments of DNA that resemble known genes but are non-functional due to various disabling mutations or truncations. Unlike functional 5S ribosomal RNAs (5S rRNAs), which are integral to ribosome structure and protein synthesis[1][5], this pseudogene does not produce a functional RNA molecule. There is no evidence it serves as a therapeutic target, plays a direct role in disease, or interacts with drugs. It can be used for evolutionary or phylogenetic studies but has no known physiological or pharmacological function in humans[2][4][6]. Key points and clarification: - RNA5SP110 is explicitly classified as a **pseudogene**, not an active gene, protein, or receptor[2]. - It is **not a drug target**, not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or transcription factor, and no biological function is known for this locus as a pseudogene[2][4][6]. - Pseudogenes may sometimes play roles through RNA interference or as competitive endogenous RNAs, but there is no evidence for such functions for RNA5SP110 specifically[4]. - If this entry appears in a therapeutic target list, it is inappropriate: it is **not a valid or meaningful drug target** and is thus marked as **is_incorrect: true**. - The closest actual biological entity is "5S ribosomal RNA," a structural RNA of the ribosome, but RNA5SP110 is not a functional copy—thus, no molecular classification like "receptor" or "enzyme" is appropriate[1][2][5].
