Examples of 'stop codon' in a sentence

Meaning of "stop codon"

In genetics, a stop codon is a specific sequence of nucleotides in an mRNA molecule that signals the termination of protein synthesis. It marks the end of a protein-coding region and results in the release of the completed protein product. There are three known stop codons: UAA, UAG, and UGA
Show more definitions
  • a sequence of three RNA nucleotides (A, C, G or U) that instruct the synthesis, or translation, of a protein to stop. The three-letter stop codon sequences have been given names: "UAG" is amber, "UGA" is opal, and "UAA" is ochre.
