RNA, U6atac small nuclear 32, pseudogene (RNU6ATAC32P)

RNU6ATAC32P is classified as a pseudogene related to the small nuclear RNA known as U6atac, but does not produce a functional protein or snRNA[3]. RNU6ATAC32P is a processed pseudogene derived from the U6atac small nuclear RNA gene, annotated in the human genome (HGNC: 46931, NCBI Gene: 106479556, Ensembl: ENSG00000251835)[3]. The U6atac snRNA is part of the minor spliceosome, responsible for catalyzing the removal of rare “minor” introns in a select group of highly conserved genes, playing a role in post-transcriptional gene regulation and cell response to stress[1]. However, RNU6ATAC32P is not itself a functional RNA and does not contribute to minor spliceosome activity; it exists in the genome as a non-functional, duplicated sequence. Pseudogenes like RNU6ATAC32P do not typically serve as drug targets or biomarkers. There is no evidence supporting RNU6ATAC32P involvement in cellular processes, disease mechanisms, or as a therapeutic target[3][4].
