RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 870, pseudogene (RN7SL870P)

RNA, 7SL, cytoplasmic 870, pseudogene (RN7SL870P) is a human genomic sequence classified as a pseudogene corresponding to 7SL RNA, which is a component of the signal recognition particle (SRP)[4][5][6]. A pseudogene resembles its parental gene but has lost the ability to encode a functional, expressed product; most 7SL-related sequences in the human genome are pseudogenes that result from retrotransposition events of 7SL RNA back into the genomic DNA[1][5][6]. These pseudogenes are typically **truncated copies** of the original 7SL RNA, lacking function and not contributing to the canonical SRP complex or protein targeting pathways[5][6]. There is no evidence that RN7SL870P is expressed or has any biological or therapeutic relevance, and it is **not considered a drug target**[4][5][6]. It is primarily of genomic interest, providing insight into the evolution of non-coding RNA elements in the human genome.
