Heterogeneous Nuclear RNA (hnRNA)
What is Heterogeneous Nuclear RNA (hnRNA)? Eukaryotic mRNAs, unlike prokaryotic mRNAs, are monocistronic. Heterogeneous nuclear RNA describes the primary transcript in eukaryotes, which is substantially larger than mature mRNA (hnRNA). It contains sequences that are distinct and has approximately 10 times as many sequences as mature mRNA. hnRNA is processed to form mRNA; hence, it … Read more
