U7 small nuclear RNA 107 pseudogene (RNU7-107P)

RNU7-107P, or “RNA, U7 small nuclear 107 pseudogene,” refers to a pseudogene of the U7 small nuclear RNA. Functional U7 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) is essential for the 3′ end processing of replication-dependent histone pre-mRNAs, acting as a component of the U7 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complex required for correct histone mRNA maturation[1][2][3]. Pseudogenes such as RNU7-107P are non-functional copies of their parental gene and do not produce functional RNA or protein products. They typically arise via gene duplication or retrotransposition and lack biological function; accordingly, RNU7-107P is not a therapeutic target, and there is no established molecular function, disease association, or interacting drug profile. The name may be encountered in genome annotation databases to denote a region of sequence homology to the functional U7 snRNA gene but is not itself a biologically relevant RNA or therapeutic target in humans[3].
