RNA, U2 small nuclear 3, pseudogene (RNU2-3P)

The RNU2-3P gene (RNA, U2 small nuclear 3, pseudogene) is a human pseudogene related to the U2 small nuclear RNA family. Unlike the functional U2 snRNA, which is a core component of the spliceosome and essential for intron removal in pre-mRNA splicing[1], RNU2-3P does not encode a functional product and has no recognized biological activity. It is annotated as a pseudogene in genomic databases and is not known to contribute to disease, interact with drugs, or act as a biomarker. Alternative names include U2, RNU2P1, and RNA, U2 small nuclear pseudogene 1[5][2][3]. No evidence supports its use as a therapeutic target or its involvement in any biological or disease processes. It is important to distinguish RNU2-3P—a non-functional pseudogene—from functional U2 snRNA, which does play critical biological roles[1][5][2].
