SR proteins

SR proteins are a type of molecular factor found in cells that help process genetic information. They are involved in splicing, a step where non-coding regions are removed from RNA to produce a mature message for protein creation. SR proteins recognize specific signals in the RNA, guiding the spliceosome to assemble correctly and ensure accurate splicing. This process is essential for generating diverse proteins from a single gene and maintaining proper cell function. In summary, SR proteins act as facilitators and regulators that ensure genetic instructions are correctly prepared for protein synthesis.
