What is another word for Heterogeneous Nuclear RNA?
Pronunciation: [hɛtɹˈə͡ʊd͡ʒənˌi͡əs njˈuːkli͡əɹ ˌɑːɹˌɛnˈe͡ɪ] (IPA) 
Heterogeneous Nuclear RNA (hnRNA) is a term used to describe the pre-mRNA molecule synthesized in eukaryotic cells. It represents the precursor to mature mRNA and serves as an essential component in the process of gene expression. This molecule is regarded as "heterogeneous" because it is composed of a diverse mixture of RNA sequences. There are several synonyms for hnRNA, including primary RNA (prRNA), pre-mRNA, unspliced RNA, transcript RNA, and nascent RNA. Understanding the nature and function of hnRNA is instrumental in comprehending the intricacies of transcription, translation, and gene regulation. Through research efforts, scientists continue to gain new insights into the role of hnRNA in various cellular processes.
