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.
A: Prilosec (omeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). With the widespread use of PPIs, the long-term safety issues need to be considered.: Prilosec (omeprazole) belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs decrease or block the production of stomach acid. Prilosec is used to treat the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), to promote healing of erosive esophagitis, and to treat or prevent ulcers.
