MeSH Heading: Codon, Terminator
Tree Number(s): D13.444.735.544.355.250; G05.360.335.355.250; G05.360.340.024.340.137.190.250
Unique ID: D018388
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018388
Scope Note: Any codon that signals the termination of genetic translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC). PEPTIDE TERMINATION FACTORS bind to the stop codon and trigger the hydrolysis of the aminoacyl bond connecting the completed polypeptide to the tRNA. Terminator codons do not specify amino acids.
