RN7SK pseudogene 158 (RN7SKP158)

RN7SK pseudogene 158 (RN7SKP158) is annotated as a **pseudogene** of the 7SK small nuclear RNA (RN7SK) and is part of the large family of non-coding RNA pseudogenes found in the human genome[3][4]. Pseudogenes are segments of DNA that resemble known genes but are typically non-functional due to mutations or lack of regulatory elements necessary for transcription and translation[4]. RN7SK pseudogene 158 is not believed to encode a functional transcript or protein, and there is no evidence that it plays a role in protein-coding processes, signaling, or regulatory pathways; nor is it described as a therapeutic target, a biomarker, or a drug-interacting entity[3][4]. While the functional 7SK small nuclear RNA (**RN7SK**) is a non-coding RNA involved in regulating transcription elongation and has known roles in tumorigenesis through interactions with RNA-binding proteins and RNA methylation[1], **RN7SKP158** refers specifically to a pseudogene copy and not the functional molecule. The presence of "pseudogene" in its name and gene description indicates that it is likely non-functional and not considered a drug target[3][4]. Note: There is nothing to suggest RN7SKP158 has therapeutic, biological, or disease relevance; therefore, most requested structured fields are not applicable or should be null. If you are searching for information about the functional 7SK small nuclear RNA (RN7SK), please clarify, as that is distinct from this pseudogene.
