RNA, U6 small nuclear 998, pseudogene (RNU6-998P)
- Target
- RNU6-998P
- Molecular classification
- Other, Non-coding RNA pseudogene[2][6]
01
Overview
RNU6-998P is a **pseudogene** corresponding to the U6 small nuclear RNA gene, found on human chromosome 4. Unlike canonical U6 snRNA, which is a highly conserved and essential component of the spliceosome responsible for catalytic activity in pre-mRNA splicing[1][3][5], RNU6-998P does not code for a functional RNA or protein. Pseudogenes like RNU6-998P often arise through gene duplication or retrotransposition but have lost their capacity for producing functional products, frequently due to mutations or regulatory sequence loss[2][6][7]. Multiple U6-derived pseudogenes exist throughout the genome[3][7]. No known biological function, disease association, or therapeutic relevance has been reported for RNU6-998P[2][6][7].
