mRNA (messenger RNA) supplementary information
mRNA (messenger RNA) is a molecule that plays an important role in helping the process of making proteins within cells. mRNA acts as a “messenger” that carries genetic information, transferring genetic information stored in DNA to the cell’s ribosomes, which then synthesize proteins based on this information.
The basic process of mRNA:
Gene Transcription: mRNA is made from DNA. This process takes place in the cell nucleus.
Protein Translation: The generated mRNA moves to the cytoplasm and binds to ribosomes, and the ribosomes read the information in the mRNA and synthesize the corresponding protein.
The importance of mRNA
mRNA plays a vital role in helping cells make the proteins they need, which is essential for maintaining normal functioning of our bodies.
It is also used in vaccines. For example, mRNA vaccines deliver information in the form of mRNA to cells to make specific proteins, thereby inducing an immune response. The COVID-19 vaccine is a representative example.
Therefore, mRNA plays a key role in transmitting important information within cells and maintaining healthy function.
