Transcription mRNA processing and

The molecular characterization of different 5-HT receptor subtypes has simplified fhe elucidation of gene transcription, mRNA processing, and translation as well as intracellular trafficking and posttranslational modification relevant to synaptic and postreceptor signaling. Transcriptional control regions... 

Figure 2.2 Transcription, mRNA processing, and translation. DNA sense strand is designated by bold lines, hnRNA and mRNA by thinner lines. Exons are shown as rectangles and introns as the intervening spaces between exons. (From An Introduction to Biochemical Toxicology, 3rd edition, E. Hodgson and R. C. Smart, eds., Wiley, 2001.)...

Gene structure and any of the processes involved in DNA expression including transcription, mRNA processing and translation and protein synthesis (Figure 2.2) can all be examined by molecular techniques. In toxicology this may include toxic effects on these processes or the role of the processes in the mechanism of toxic action.
