Preferred Label : mRNA Surveillance;
NCIt definition : mRNA Surveillance works within elaborate cellular mechanisms to ensure accurate gene
expression by assessing suitable mRNA quality for translation and prevents the synthesis
of truncated or aberrant proteins. By nonsense-mediated decay, mRNA surveillance facilitates
the detection and destruction of mRNAs that contain premature termination codons.
Also, by nonstop decay, mRNA surveillance depletes mRNAs that lack in-frame termination
codons.;
