MeSH definition : A family of ribonucleoproteins that were originally found as proteins bound to nascent
RNA transcripts in the form of ribonucleoprotein particles. Although considered ribonucleoproteins
they are primarily classified by their protein component. They are involved in a variety
of processes such as packaging of RNA and RNA TRANSPORT within the nucleus. A subset
of heterogeneous-nuclear ribonucleoproteins are involved in additional functions such
as nucleocytoplasmic transport (ACTIVE TRANSPORT, CELL NUCLEUS) of RNA and mRNA stability
in the CYTOPLASM.;
