Ett kodon som signalerar initiering av proteintranslation (genetisk translation) genom att stimulera bindning av initierings-tRNA (transfer-RNA, met). Hos prokaryoter kan AUG- och GUG-kodon fungera som startkodon, medan AUG är den enda initiatorn hos eukaryoter.
A codon that directs initiation of protein translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC) by stimulating the binding of initiator tRNA (RNA, TRANSFER, MET). In prokaryotes, the codons AUG or GUG can act as initiators while in eukaryotes, AUG is the only initiator codon.
