RNA, U6 small nuclear 928, pseudogene (RNU6-928P)

RNU6-928P (RNA, U6 small nuclear 928, pseudogene) is annotated as a **pseudogene** of the U6 small nuclear RNA family[4]. U6 small nuclear RNA (U6 snRNA) is a highly conserved and essential non-coding RNA involved in the splicing of pre-mRNA as part of the spliceosome complex[1][3][5]. However, RNU6-928P itself is not a functional gene—it is a non-coding, genomically inactivated copy, and thus is not involved in biological processes nor does it encode a therapeutic target. Pseudogenes like RNU6-928P may arise via gene duplication or retrotransposition and are typically not transcribed into functional RNA or protein. The true U6 snRNA is critical for pre-mRNA splicing, but the pseudogene variant does not participate directly in this process and currently has no reported roles in disease, drug interactions, or utility as a biomarker[4].\n\n**Note:**\n- There is nothing to indicate RNU6-928P functions as a gene, protein, enzyme, or receptor, nor is it a known therapeutic target.\n- As a pseudogene, it may be misinterpreted as a functional RNA or receptor, but this is incorrect; RNU6-928P is not a target.\n- No evidence currently links this pseudogene to any disease, drug, or mechanism of action.\n\nThis entry is **not considered a therapeutic target** and should be flagged as incorrect for purposes that require a functional target or gene[4].
