What Does NTR Stand For?
NTR stands for Nontranslated Region
NTR, or Nontranslated Region, refers to segments of an RNA molecule that are not translated into protein but play critical roles in gene regulation and expression. These regions, typically found at both the 5' and 3' ends of mRNA, are involved in processes such as transcription regulation, mRNA stability, and translation efficiency. Understanding NTRs is essential for elucidating the complexities of gene expression and the overall functionality of RNA within cellular systems.
