readthrough protein
a product formed by translation of a messenger RNA when one of its termination codons is misread, or is recognized by a suppressor tRNA. Polypeptide-chain synthesis then continues until the next termination codon is reached, resulting in the production of a variant protein with a C-terminal extension.
