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.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are usually taken one time a day. They are sometimes taken two times a day if a stronger dose is needed. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) greatly reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, which in turn reduces irritation of the stomach lining and allows an ulcer to heal. When used with antibiotics, PPIs also help treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Proton pump inhibitors are used to treat ulcers.
