RN7SK pseudogene 116 (RN7SKP116)

RN7SK pseudogene 116 (RN7SKP116, RNA, 7SK small nuclear pseudogene 116) is classified as a **pseudogene** of the 7SK small nuclear RNA (RN7SK). Pseudogenes are genetic sequences similar to known genes but are typically non-functional due to loss of coding potential or regulatory elements; they do not produce functional proteins or functional noncoding RNA products. The functional 7SK RNA is a highly conserved non-coding small nuclear RNA (snRNA) that helps regulate transcription elongation by sequestering positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb); it is implicated in cell cycle regulation, RNA synthesis, and differentiation[1][2]. However, **RN7SK pseudogene 116 itself has no reported biological function, role in disease, regulatory activity, or drug interaction**—it merely represents a genomic relic of a previously functional gene. Because this entry is a pseudogene with no protein product, regulatory RNA function, or known therapeutic relevance, it **should not be considered a drug or therapeutic target**. Its usage as a biological target is likely a mistake or misannotation. **Note:** Information provided here refers specifically to *RN7SK pseudogene 116* (a pseudogene) and not to the functional *RN7SK small nuclear RNA* (which is a key regulator of transcription in cells)[1][2].
