RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 388 (RNA5SP388)

RNA, 5S ribosomal pseudogene 388 (RNA5SP388), also known as RN5S388, is a human pseudogene derived from the functional 5S ribosomal RNA gene. Unlike active 5S rRNA genes, it does not encode a functional RNA and is generally considered part of the non-coding genome. Pseudogenes typically result from duplication or retrotransposition events and are often non-functional, though emerging research indicates that some pseudogenes might have regulatory or disease-related roles. RNA5SP388 itself is not described as having any clinical or biological function and is not currently implicated as a molecular target for therapy or diagnosis[5][7][8][4].
