RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 741, pseudogene (RN7SL741P)

RN7SL741P is a **pseudogene** derived from the 7SL RNA gene, coding for part of the signal recognition particle (SRP) ribonucleoprotein complex[1][3][5][7]. 7SL RNA is essential for SRP function in directing nascent polypeptides to the endoplasmic reticulum[1][8]. However, most 7SL-derived pseudogenes like RN7SL741P are **truncated, non-coding, and not expressed in detectable levels**[3][5][9]; they result from reverse genetic flow from mature 7SL RNA back into DNA and subsequent integration into the genome[3][5][7][9]. Pseudogenes generally lack biological function and are not considered drug targets, though some may have rare regulatory roles as described for other pseudogenes[2][6]. For RN7SL741P in particular, no known biological, disease, or pharmacological roles have been described.
