n-myc mRNA has an alternative method of translation via an internal ribosome entry site where ribosomes are recruited to the IRES located in the 5' UTR thus bypassing the typical eukaryotic cap-dependent translation pathway.
n-myc mRNA utilizes a unique translation process facilitated by an internal ribosome entry site in its 5' untranslated region (UTR), allowing it to bypass the typical eukaryotic translation mechanism that relies on a cap structure.
