Concept
Decapping refers to the process of removing the 5' cap structure from mRNA molecules, a critical step in mRNA degradation and turnover within the cell. This process is tightly regulated and involves specific enzymes, such as the Dcp1/Dcp2 decapping complex, which plays a pivotal role in controlling gene expression by determining the lifespan of mRNA.
