RNA, U2 small nuclear 4, pseudogene (RNU2-4P)

RNA, U2 small nuclear 4, pseudogene (RNU2-4P) is annotated as a *pseudogene* of the U2 small nuclear RNA class. U2 small nuclear RNAs are major components of the spliceosome, responsible for pre-mRNA splicing, but pseudogene copies like RNU2-4P are generally considered nonfunctional and usually do not produce functional transcripts or proteins[1][5][6]. Functional U2 snRNAs (e.g., RNU2-1, RNU2-2) have established roles in mRNA maturation and have been investigated for disease associations and as potential biomarkers[2][3], but pseudogene variants such as RNU2-4P are not considered therapeutic targets, do not participate in canonical biological functions, and are not associated with drug interactions.
