RNA, U6 small nuclear 87, pseudogene (RNU6-87P)

RNU6-87P (RNA, U6 small nuclear 87, pseudogene) is classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a genomic DNA sequence similar to a functional gene but typically non-functional due to accumulated mutations preventing its expression as a functional product. It is related by sequence to the functional U6 small nuclear RNA gene, which encodes a core component of the spliceosome complex involved in pre-mRNA splicing. However, RNU6-87P itself does not produce a functional snRNA and is not known to encode any active RNA molecule or protein product. There is no evidence linking RNU6-87P to biological functions, disease association, drug interactions, or biomarker relevance, and it is not considered a therapeutic target.
