RNA, U7 small nuclear 106 pseudogene (RNU7-106P)

RNU7-106P is classified as a pseudogene—a genomic DNA sequence similar to known genes but typically non-functional and not producing active RNA or protein products[2][3]. The parent gene, U7 small nuclear RNA (U7 snRNA), plays a key role in the 3′ end processing of replication-dependent histone pre-mRNAs[1][3][5]. Functional U7 snRNA is a component of the U7 snRNP (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein), critical for histone mRNA maturation and regulation, but RNU7-106P does not appear to encode a functional RNA and is considered non-coding and non-functional[2][3][5]. Pseudogenes like RNU7-106P can sometimes have regulatory functions in rare cases, but current evidence and annotation categorize this entity as a nonfunctional remnant rather than a druggable or disease-relevant molecular target.
