RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 440, pseudogene (RN7SL440P)

RN7SL440P is a **pseudogene** corresponding to the **7SL RNA gene**, which itself encodes the RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP), a ribonucleoprotein complex involved in protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum[1][5][6][8]. The RN7SL440P gene is not thought to be actively transcribed or functional, and pseudogenes typically lack biological function due to accumulated mutations and absence of regulatory sequences[4][5][8]. While functional 7SL RNA plays a well-described role in protein localization and translation arrest as part of the SRP[3][7], RN7SL440P is regarded as a non-functional genomic relic, not a receptor, enzyme, or therapeutic target.
