One type of RNP, hnRNPs (heteronuclear proteins), are important in splicing of mRNA (messenger RNA), polyadenylation, stabilization, localization and translation.

RNA splicing is a modification of the nascent pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) transcript in which introns are removed and exons are joined prior to translation. For many eukaryotic introns, splicing ...

During the first step of converting genetic information into functional proteins, cells transcribe the double-stranded helix ...
