Preferred Label : peptide chain termination, translational;
MeSH definition : A process of GENETIC TRANSLATION whereby the terminal amino acid is added to a lengthening
polypeptide. This termination process is signaled from the MESSENGER RNA, by one of
three termination codons (CODON, TERMINATOR) that immediately follows the last amino
acid-specifying CODON.;
MeSH synonym : chain termination, peptide, translational; translational peptide chain termination; protein chain termination, translational; protein biosynthesis termination; biosynthesis termination, protein; termination, protein biosynthesis; translational termination, protein; protein translational termination; termination, protein translational; translation termination, genetic; genetic translation termination; termination, genetic translation; translation termination, protein; termination, protein translation; protein translation termination;
MeSH annotation : coordinate with specific peptide; for protein biosynthesis on the ribosome only; for
non-ribosomal biosynthesis use PEPTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS, NUCLEIC ACID-INDEPENDENT;
Origin ID : D010443;
UMLS CUI : C1448476;
