General Information
Term nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay ID (Ontology) GO:0000184 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The nonsense-mediated decay pathway for nuclear-transcribed mRNAs degrades mRNAs in which an amino-acid codon has changed to a nonsense codon; this prevents the translation of such mRNAs into truncated, and potentially harmful, proteins.[ PubMed:10025395 ]
Also Known As "mRNA breakdown, nonsense-mediated decay" ; "mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated" ; "mRNA catabolism, nonsense-mediated" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
