RN7SK pseudogene 83 (RN7SKP83)

RN7SK pseudogene 83 (RN7SKP83) is a processed pseudogene in the human genome related by sequence to the functional RN7SK small nuclear RNA gene. The canonical RN7SK snRNA plays a central role in regulating RNA polymerase II transcription elongation by sequestering and inhibiting positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), but RN7SKP83 does not produce a functional RNA and has no known biological function or therapeutic relevance[1][2]. Like other pseudogenes, it is presumed to be non-functional, and there is no evidence linking it to any drug interactions, disease roles, or utility as a biomarker[2]. If you are looking for information relevant to the canonical *functional* RNA (the real biological target), you should refer to "7SK RNA" (gene: RN7SK), not "RN7SKP83"[1][2][3].
