Ribosomal RNA Definition
Class of RNA molecules that do not contain protein-coding sequence information. These RNAs constitute the majority of the cellular RNA (~ 80%); they associate with multiple proteins into a macromolecular complex termed ribosomes, in which mRNA-directed protein synthesis occurs. The three eukaryotic rRNAs are named 28S, 18S, and 5S rRNA.
