- down regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA

- downregulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA
- Definition
- An RNA interference pathway in which microRNAs (miRNAs) block the translation of target mRNAs into proteins. Once incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a miRNA will typically mediate repression of translation if the miRNA imperfectly base-pairs with the 3' untranslated regions of target mRNAs.
