mRNA stability refers to the amount of elements known as cis-elements, which interacts with RNA binding proteins, whose functions are to inhibit or enhance mRNA decay. This means that the stability of mRNA guarantees a good regulation of gene expression and prevents the expression of defectuos genes, known in many diseases.
