RN7SK pseudogene 170 (RN7SKP170)

RN7SK pseudogene 170 (RN7SKP170) is a non-functional genomic DNA sequence in the human genome classified as a pseudogene related to the **RN7SK small nuclear RNA** gene family[3]. Unlike the functional RN7SK gene, which encodes a small nuclear RNA critical for the regulation of the transcription elongation factor P-TEFb and is important for gene transcription and cell cycle control[1][4][2], RN7SKP170 does not produce a product involved in these processes. It is annotated in genome databases but no evidence supports its involvement in gene expression, protein production, or any cellular pathway. RN7SKP170 is not a drug target and is not associated with any known disease or therapeutic response, nor is it used as a biomarker. The correct **therapeutically relevant target** in this family is the **RN7SK small nuclear RNA**, not the pseudogene[1][4][2]. If the intent was to target small nuclear RNA regulatory complexes, refer to "RN7SK small nuclear RNA" or "7SK snRNA."
