What is another word for trna?
Pronunciation: [tˌiːˌɑːɹˌɛnˈe͡ɪ] (IPA) 
tRNA, also known as transfer RNA, is a vital component of protein synthesis in all organisms. While the term tRNA is commonly used, there are a few synonyms that refer to this molecule. One common synonym is the term "soluble RNA" given its solubility in the cell, and the fact that it can move freely among the various compartments of the cell. A second synonym is "adapter RNA" for the ability of tRNA molecules to fit into the ribosome and carry the appropriate amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain. Finally, the term "aminoacyl RNA" is used when referring to tRNA molecules that are carrying an amino acid. Regardless of the term used, it is important to note the crucial role that tRNA plays in essential biological processes.
