RNA transport refers to the process by which RNA molecules are moved from the nucleus, where they are synthesized, to the cytoplasm, where they perform their functions. This transport is crucial for gene expression, as it allows messenger RNA (mRNA) to reach the ribosomes, where proteins are made. The transport of RNA involves various proteins and structures, including nuclear pores that act as gateways. Once the RNA is processed and ready, it binds to specific transport proteins that facilitate its movement through these pores. This ensures that the right RNA molecules are delivered to the correct locations within the cell.
