General Information
Term P-body ID (Ontology) GO:0000932 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A focus in the cytoplasm where mRNAs may become inactivated by decapping or some other mechanism. Protein and RNA localized to these foci are involved in mRNA degradation, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), translational repression, and RNA-mediated gene silencing.[ PubMed:12730603 ]
Also Known As "cytoplasmic mRNA processing body" ; "P body"
