RNA, U1 small nuclear 95, pseudogene (RNU1-95P)

RNU1-95P is a pseudogene that shares sequence similarity with genes encoding U1 small nuclear RNAs, essential non-coding RNAs involved in the major spliceosome complex responsible for intron removal from precursor mRNA during gene expression. Unlike canonical U1 snRNA genes, pseudogenes like RNU1-95P do not produce functional RNA molecules and have no known molecular function, disease association, or therapeutic relevance. They often arise via duplication or retrotransposition and accumulate mutations that render them inactive. In contrast, functional U1 snRNAs are central to pre-mRNA splicing, regulating transcriptome integrity and alternative splicing. There is no evidence that RNU1-95P participates in cellular activities or that it is relevant for disease or drug intervention.
