RN7SK pseudogene 128 (RN7SKP128)

**RN7SK pseudogene 128 (RN7SKP128)** is a pseudogene related to **RN7SK**, an RNA gene that encodes the RNA component of the 7SK small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP)[1]. RN7SK itself is a well-studied non-coding RNA that acts as a central scaffold for the 7SK snRNP complex, playing a key regulatory role in controlling transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II[2][3]. However, RN7SKP128 is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it does not encode a functional RNA or protein and is typically not considered to have a direct biological function, disease association, or therapeutic relevance[1]. There is no evidence in authoritative databases that RN7SKP128 is a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or therapeutic target, and it should not be confused with the functional RN7SK small nuclear RNA[1][5]. **Key notes:** - RN7SKP128 is a **pseudogene** (a non-functional genetic element) and does not correspond to a protein, receptor, enzyme, or molecular target used in therapeutics. - There is a similarly named functional gene, RN7SK, which is a non-coding RNA but this is NOT what is meant by RN7SKP128[3]. - Pseudogenes like RN7SKP128 are typically not classified under molecular target families such as "Receptor," "Enzyme," or "Transcription factor" nor are they directly implicated in biological functions or disease processes[1]. If you are seeking a legitimate therapeutic target or receptor, RN7SKP128 is not valid; however, RN7SK (the functional RNA) may be of biological interest[3][5].
