 2A self-cleaving peptides

2A self-cleaving peptides refer to a specific class of peptides that facilitate the separation of proteins during the translation process in a cell. These peptides, which include the well-studied 2A peptide derived from the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), exhibit a unique ability to induce a ribosomal stalling and cleavage process, allowing for the production of multiple proteins from a single mRNA transcript.
