RNA, U6 small nuclear 936, pseudogene (RNU6-936P)

RNU6-936P is a **pseudogene** in the human genome derived from the U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) gene family[2][5]. Pseudogenes like RNU6-936P do not encode functional snRNA molecules, though their sequences often closely resemble those of active genes. The **parental U6 snRNA** is a highly conserved small RNA involved in the spliceosome, catalyzing removal of introns from pre-mRNA during splicing in eukaryotic nuclei[1][3]. The presence of multiple pseudogenes related to U6 in vertebrate genomes reflects the evolutionary importance of the U6 RNA gene, but the pseudogenes themselves, including RNU6-936P, are not known to carry out any functional or regulatory roles and are not considered therapeutically relevant drug targets[2][5][3].
