Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytoplasmic localization of mRNA occurs when the transcripts are bound to specific proteins known as RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). These RBPs recognize and bind to specific sequence motifs on the mRNA and transport the mRNA to the appropriate location within the cell. This process is important for the proper spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression.
