Term Name: mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding
Synonyms: adenylate/uridylate-rich element binding, ARE binding, AU-rich element binding, mRNA 3'-UTR adenylate/uridylate-rich element binding
Definition: Binding to a region containing frequent adenine and uridine bases within the 3' untranslated region of a mRNA molecule or in pre-mRNA intron. The ARE-binding element consensus is UUAUUUAUU. ARE-binding proteins control the stability and/or translation of mRNAs.
