Ontology: Biological Process (GO:0000184)
Definition: The nonsense-mediated decay pathway for nuclear-transcribed mRNAs degrades mRNAs in which an amino-acid codon has changed to a nonsense codon; this prevents the translation of such mRNAs into truncated, and potentially harmful, proteins.
Synonyms: mRNA breakdown, nonsense-mediated decay; mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated; mRNA catabolism, nonsense-mediated; mRNA degradation, nonsense-mediated decay; nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; nuclear mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay
