Because it is not transcribed and coded for proteins.

The plus strand is the same as the sense strand and can also be called the coding or non-template strand. This is the strand that has the same sequence as the mRNA (except it has Ts instead of Us). The other strand, called the template, minus, or antisense strand, is complementary to the mRNA. Gotta love the use of 4 names to describe the same thing. Ah science, why do you torment us?

The top strand, which is drawn 5' to 3' and which contains the promoter sequences in the conventionally written orientation (such as the TATA box) and which has the same sequence as the new RNA (except for U instead of T) is the plus strand or the sense strand or the non template strand or the coding strand. The bottom 3' to 5' strand is the minus, or template, or antisense strand.

Your sequence therefore is the coding strand, but the RNA is transcribed off of the non-coding, template, or antisense strand.

The sense strand has the same base sequence as mRNA with uracil instead of thymine. The antisense strand is transcribed.
