RNA, U5F small nuclear 2, pseudogene (RNU5F-2P)

RNU5F-2P (RNA, U5F small nuclear 2, pseudogene) is classified as a **pseudogene** member of the U5 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) family[1]. Functional U5 snRNAs are basic components of the **major spliceosome**, which is responsible for pre-mRNA splicing in eukaryotes, but **RNU5F-2P does not encode a functional RNA or protein product and is not known to participate in biological processes or disease mechanisms**[1]. Functional relevance and disease association have been noted for other U5 snRNA genes (such as RNU5A-1 and RNU5B-1), but not for RNU5F-2P[3][4]. There is no therapeutic or diagnostic utility attributed to RNU5F-2P[1].
