It is present in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and can be of three types: regulatory, catalytic activity, and involved in protein synthesis. Focusing on the latter, there is on the one hand the mRNA or messenger, whose function in cells is to act as an intermediary for genetic information, and is that it copies this from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), and in the cytoplasm of the cell it is responsible for direct protein synthesis, taking into account their nucleotide sequence.
For its part, tRNA (also called transfer) focuses on directing each amino acid to its place at the time it is required in protein synthesis. The rRNA (ribosomal or ribosomal) is dedicated to generating bonds between adjacent amino acids during the process of protein synthesis.
Regarding those of regulatory action, the interfering RNA, the Micro RNA, the long non-coding, the small interfering, those associated with Piwi, the antisense, and the Riboswitch stand out. Finally, those with catalytic activity are three: ribozymes, spliceosome and small nucleolar RNA.
