RN7SK pseudogene 56 (RN7SKP56)

RN7SK pseudogene 56 (RN7SKP56) is a non-functional genomic locus classified as a pseudogene related to the RN7SK gene, which encodes a small nuclear RNA involved in the regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription elongation[2][3][5]. RN7SKP56 is located on chromosome 6 (genomic position chr6:125875168-125875498, hg38)[2], but it does not produce a functional RNA or protein and is not associated with known biological processes, diseases, or drug interactions. Pseudogenes like RN7SKP56 arise from duplications or retrotranspositions of functional genes, but accumulate mutations preventing their normal function. In this context, RN7SKP56 is distinct from the functional RN7SK gene (which is involved in core transcriptional regulation and disease processes)[1][4], and should not be considered a molecular target. If you are seeking structured data for a functional molecule, refer to the primary RN7SK gene ("RNA, 7SK small nuclear") rather than this pseudogene.
