RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a complex molecule composed of nucleotides that plays a vital role in cell function. It is involved in the regulation of gene expression, and its dysfunction can lead to disease. RNA also has a key role in protein synthesis, and it is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system. RNA is found in all living cells and is essential for life.
