The resulting mRNA is a single-stranded copy of the gene, which next must be translated into a protein molecule. During translation, which is the second major step in gene expression, the mRNA is read according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins (Figure 2).
See Prices. Prevacid (lansoprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat GERD, heartburn, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer. It works by reducing acid in the stomach. It is also approved for use in combination with antibiotics for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.
Recently, the medical profession has raised concerns about GERD medication safety, particularly the long-term use of acid reflux medications called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs). In use for years, the Food and Drug Administration recently added warnings on this class of drugs to address these concerns.ecently, the medical profession has raised concerns about GERD medication safety, particularly the long-term use of acid reflux medications called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs).
