Alternative polyadenylation and nonsense-mediated decay coordinately regulate the human HFE mRNA levels.
Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is an mRNA surveillance pathway that selectively recognizes and degrades defective mRNAs carrying premature translation-termination codons. However, several studies have shown that NMD also targets physiological transcripts that encode full-length proteins, modulating t...
