RNA, U7 small nuclear 164 pseudogene (RNU7-164P)

RNU7-164P (RNA, U7 small nuclear 164 pseudogene) is a pseudogene related to U7 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), which in its functional form mediates 3'-end processing of replication-dependent histone pre-mRNAs[1][3][7]. As a pseudogene, RNU7-164P does not produce a functional U7 snRNA and is presumed to be non-functional, though in rare cases pseudogenes can contribute to regulatory RNA pools[4]. There is no evidence that this specific pseudogene is transcribed at functional levels, involved in disease, or can serve as a therapeutic target[2][7]. *Note:* Pseudogenes in general are not considered drug targets, receptors, enzymes, or transporters. They usually arise from duplications or reverse transcription events and often carry sequence similarity but lack protein-coding capacity and canonical biochemical function[4][7]. If you seek structured information for the functional form, search for "U7 small nuclear RNA" instead[1][3].
