down regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA, down-regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA, downregulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA, gene silencing by miRNA, negative regulation of translation, miRNA mediated inhibition of translation, negative regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by microRNA
Description
An RNA interference pathway in which microRNAs (miRNAs) block the translation of target mRNAs into proteins. Once incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a miRNA will typically mediate repression of translation if the miRNA imperfectly base-pairs with the 3' untranslated regions of target mRNAs.
