RNA, U6atac small nuclear 7, pseudogene (RNU6ATAC7P)

**RNU6ATAC7P** ("RNA, U6atac small nuclear 7, pseudogene") is annotated as a **pseudogene** related to the U6atac family of small nuclear RNAs, which are components of the minor spliceosome involved in splicing of a rare class of introns in pre-mRNA. Unlike its functional counterparts, which participate in pre-mRNA splicing as part of the spliceosome, the pseudogene **RNU6ATAC7P** lacks evidence of protein-coding or functional noncoding RNA expression and is not known to have a direct biological function. Pseudogenes in general are often considered non-functional genomic elements—though in some cases, pseudogene-derived RNAs can regulate gene expression in cancer and other conditions (e.g., by acting as microRNA decoys)—there is no such evidence for RNU6ATAC7P. It is not regarded as a therapeutic target, does not interact with drugs, and is not known to have any biomarker or safety relevance.
