nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay
id: GO:0000184
name: nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: The nonsense-mediated decay pathway for nuclear-transcribed mRNAs degrades mRNAs in which an amino-acid codon has changed to a nonsense codon; this prevents the translation of such mRNAs into truncated, and potentially harmful, proteins.
