RNA, U4 small nuclear 82, pseudogene (RNU4-82P)

RNA, U4 small nuclear 82, pseudogene (RNU4-82P) is a predicted pseudogene listed in genome databases[1]. It is annotated as a non-coding RNA by sequence homology to functional U4 small nuclear RNAs, but is currently considered non-functional and has not been shown to produce an active RNA product or protein, nor to participate in biological pathways or disease associations[1]. As a pseudogene, RNU4-82P is not regarded as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or any other conventional therapeutic target class. There may be confusion with RNU4-2 (RNA, U4 small nuclear 2), which is a functional small nuclear RNA in the spliceosome and has a strong, well-established role in splicing and is associated with syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder when mutated[3][4][5][6][7]. However, RNU4-82P is a different locus, annotated as a pseudogene, not a functional gene[1]. No pathway, disease, or drug interaction information is available for RNU4-82P; all recent disease/biological relevance in the search results pertains to RNU4-2, not RNU4-82P[1][3][4][5][6][7].
