RN7SK pseudogene 118 (RN7SKP118)

RN7SK pseudogene 118 (RN7SKP118) is a pseudogene related to the functional small nuclear noncoding RNA 7SK (RN7SK), which itself is known to regulate RNA polymerase II transcriptional elongation as part of the 7SK small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) complex[1][2]. Functional 7SK RNA acts as a regulator of gene expression, particularly through modulation of P-TEFb activity, chromatin accessibility, and splicing, especially in neuronal and skin tissues[1][2]. However, the RN7SKP118 entity itself is a \"pseudogene\"—a non-functional genomic segment resulting from duplication or retrotransposition and does not code for a functional RNA or protein product, nor is it recognized as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or therapeutically relevant molecular target[1][2]. No data supports any specific biological or disease-related function for RN7SKP118.
