Preferred Label : Transfer RNA;
NCIt related terms : tRNA; Triplet Codon-Amino Acid Adaptor;
NCIt definition : A class of short adaptor RNAs that transfers a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide
chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. Each transfer
RNA comprises a three-nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the triplet nucleotide
coding sequence of an mRNA, conferring specificity to the amino acid being incorporated
into the assembling protein.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A class of short adaptor RNAs that transfers a specific amino acid to a growing
