RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 50, pseudogene (RN7SL50P)

RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 50, pseudogene (RN7SL50P) is a human genomic locus classified as a pseudogene of the 7SL RNA, which is the RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP)[1][6]. The SRP is essential for co-translational protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum, with 7SL RNA acting as its structural and functional core[5]. RN7SL50P is not an expressed protein-coding gene but a truncated, non-functional copy of 7SL RNA that arose by retrotransposition[4][6]. Such pseudogenes are abundant in the genome and lack known biological function, therapeutic relevance, or direct disease association[1][4][6]. They do not serve as therapeutic targets and have no described roles in drug interaction, biomarker development, or safety concerns.
