RNA, U6 small nuclear 1117, pseudogene (RNU6-1117P)

RNU6-1117P is a processed **pseudogene** corresponding to the U6 small nuclear RNA gene, specifically the “RNA, U6 small nuclear 1117, pseudogene”[1][6]. Pseudogenes are **genomic DNA sequences similar to normal genes but typically nonfunctional**; they do not encode proteins or functional RNAs due to disabling mutations or truncated sequences[4][7]. U6 snRNA is a highly conserved small nuclear RNA that participates in pre-mRNA splicing as a core component of the spliceosome[5]. However, RNU6-1117P, as a pseudogene, **does not produce functional U6 RNA** and has no demonstrated role in splicing or any other biological process[1][4][6]. Pseudogenes like RNU6-1117P can result from retrotransposition of U6 snRNA transcripts, but are generally regarded as functionless genomic elements, though they may occasionally serve as evolutionary or genomic markers[4]. There is no evidence this locus is a therapeutic target, has drug interactions, or is involved in disease[1][4][6]. **Note:** - This entry is not a functional target; it is a pseudogene. - There is no evidence of functional protein, RNA product, or therapeutic relevance. - It should not be confused with U6 snRNA itself, which is essential for mRNA splicing[5].
