mRNA metabolism

mRNA metabolism involves the processes that manage messenger RNA (mRNA) within a cell, ensuring proper gene expression. After a gene is transcribed into mRNA, it can be modified, transported, and eventually broken down when no longer needed. This regulation controls protein production, maintaining cell function and response. Key steps include processing the mRNA to make it stable, translating it into proteins, and degrading it at the right time. These processes keep the cell balanced, adaptable, and healthy by precisely controlling which proteins are made and when.
