RNA, U6 small nuclear 1165, pseudogene (RNU6-1165P)

RNU6-1165P is a genomic locus annotated as a **pseudogene** of the U6 small nuclear RNA gene in the human genome. U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) itself is a highly conserved, functional non-coding RNA crucial for the splicing of precursor mRNA in eukaryotes[3][1]. However, **RNU6-1165P does not produce a functional transcript** and does not participate in the spliceosome or any known cellular process[2][5]. Like many other U6 pseudogenes, it likely arose through gene duplication or retrotransposition events and may retain sequence similarity to the active U6 snRNA but lacks promoter elements or necessary structure for biological function[5][3]. There is no evidence that RNU6-1165P serves as a regulatory RNA, disease marker, or druggable target.
