Dendritic localization of the α subunit of Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (αCaMKII) mRNA in CNS neurons requires its 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR). We investigated this ...

In particular, there is an area near the 5' end of the molecule that is known as the untranslated region (UTR) or leader sequence. This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that ...
