Abstract:
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein ( hnRNPs) is a widely expressing protein family in human body,which has a close relationship with health. HnRNPs takes part in the developing processes of many diseases such as viral diseases, tumor, autoimmune system diseases and so on. hnRNPs also regulates the expression of special genes such as cyp2a5, CYP2A6, eNOS. There are numerous proteins in vivo and hnRNPs links with them in numerous ways. Much work is needed to unclose the relationship between hnRNPs and related diseases or gene regulation.

Nuclear Protein Sorting
Proteins targeted to the nucleus carry nuclear localization signals or NLS recognized by import receptors in the cytosol. Similarly, proteins with nuclear export signals are recognized by export receptors. Import and export receptors are...

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
