RNP biogenesis

RNP biogenesis refers to the process of creating ribonucleoproteins, which are complexes of RNA and proteins essential for various cellular functions. This process begins with the transcription of specific RNA molecules, which then associate with specialized proteins to form RNPs. These complexes are carefully assembled and transported to their functional locations within the cell, where they play critical roles in gene expression, RNA processing, and protein synthesis. Proper RNP formation is vital for cell health, and errors in this process can lead to diseases.
