Question:
What region of an mRNA is most commonly associated with transcript destabilization?
What region of an mRNA is most commonly associated with transcript destabilization?
Show Hint
When studying mRNA stability, focus on the 3' UTR, which contains many elements involved in transcript degradation.
Updated On: Jun 18, 2025
- The 5' untranslated region
- The 3' untranslated region
- The exonic coding regions
- The intronic regions
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA plays a key role in transcript destabilization through the binding of regulatory proteins that affect mRNA stability and degradation.
