RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 564, pseudogene (RN7SL564P)

RN7SL564P (RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 564, pseudogene) is a human **pseudogene** classified as a non-coding RNA locus located on chromosome 6[1][6][7]. Pseudogenes are nonfunctional genetic elements that have sequence similarity with functional genes but lack functionality due to disabling mutations or incomplete sequence[2]. RN7SL564P is specifically a pseudogene related to the 7SL RNA gene, which encodes the RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP), a ribonucleoprotein required for protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum in cells[3][5]. However, as a pseudogene, RN7SL564P **does not produce a functional RNA or protein**[2][1]. There is no therapeutic relevance, no interaction with drugs, no established biological function, and no known roles in disease, biomarkers, or safety concerns. Its existence may complicate some molecular biology studies due to sequence homology with functional 7SL RNA genes, potentially leading to PCR or annotation artifacts[2].
