RNA, U6 small nuclear 1124, pseudogene (RNU6-1124P)

**RNU6-1124P** is a pseudogene corresponding to a non-coding RNA segment that is similar in sequence to the functional U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), but is not itself transcribed into a functional product[4][5]. The U6 snRNA is an essential and highly conserved component of the spliceosome, playing a catalytic role in the removal of introns from pre-mRNA during splicing[1][3]. However, pseudogenes such as RNU6-1124P are generally regarded as non-functional due to mutations, truncations, or lack of necessary regulatory elements, and they do not produce active snRNAs or proteins[4][5]. These U6-derived pseudogenes are common in the human genome and reflect the evolutionary importance of the U6 snRNA gene and its sequence conservation, but their biological function—if any—is likely limited or absent, and they are not considered therapeutically actionable targets[3][4][5].
