General Information
Term tRNA decay ID (Ontology) GO:0016078 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of tRNA, transfer RNA, a class of relatively small RNA molecules responsible for mediating the insertion of amino acids into the sequence of nascent polypeptide chains during protein synthesis.
Also Known As"tRNA breakdown" ; "tRNA catabolic process" ; "tRNA catabolism" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
