Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: mRNA expression in a cell or subcellular organelle is precisely regulated for the purpose of gene function regulation. The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of mRNA is the binding target of microRNA and RNA binding proteins. Their interactions regulate mRNA level in specific subcellular regions and determine the intensity of gene repression. The mutations in the coding region of voltage-gated sodium...
