RN7SK pseudogene 162 (RN7SKP162)

RN7SK pseudogene 162 (RN7SKP162) is annotated as a pseudogene in the human genome and does not encode a functional RNA or protein product. It is related to the 7SK small nuclear RNA gene, a critical non-coding RNA involved in regulating transcription elongation by sequestration of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb)[1][3]. As a pseudogene, RN7SKP162 is presumed to be nonfunctional, is not considered a drug target or biologically active molecule, and is not known to have a role in disease, as a biomarker, or as a therapeutic target[1][3][7]. It should not be confused with the functional 7SK RNA gene (RN7SK), which is biologically significant[4][5].
