RN7SK pseudogene 178 (RN7SKP178)

RN7SK pseudogene 178 (RN7SKP178) is a non-functional pseudogene related to the RN7SK gene, located on chromosome 2 (chr2:205900630-205900958, human genome build GRCh38). Pseudogenes like RN7SKP178 are DNA sequences similar to functional genes but are generally non-expressive due to disruption by mutations, truncations, or lack regulatory elements. The canonical RN7SK gene encodes a small nuclear RNA that regulates transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II in the 7SK snRNP complex, but RN7SK pseudogene 178 itself is not known to produce a functional transcript or protein, nor is it associated with any molecular functions, diseases, or therapeutic interventions. RN7SKP178 is a pseudogene and not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or recognized therapeutic target. No evidence supports biological function, drug interactions, or its use as a biomarker or therapeutic target. The entry is incorrect as a therapeutic target due to its nature as a pseudogene.
