| kainate receptor | A type of glutamate receptor that participates in excitatory neurotransmission and also binds kainate and acts as a cation channel; injection of kainate causes death of neurons but preserves glial cells and axons. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Fc receptor | Receptors present on a variety of cells for the Fc fragment of immunoglobulins. These receptors recognise immunoglobulins of the IgG and IgE class. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laminin receptor | A receptor found in many cell types that binds laminin and has a role in cell attachment and neurite outgrowth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| L-AP4 receptor | A type of glutamate receptor that also binds a particular synthetic agonist and acts as a cation channel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| LDL receptor disorder | Abnormality in clearance of LDL from the plasma due to abnormality in LDL receptor activity; causes hypercholesterolaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leukocyte tyrosine kinase receptor tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> May be receptor for pre-b lymphocyte growth or differentiation factor; aa sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ltk receptor tyrosine kinase, ltk receptor tk, ltk protein, leukocyte tyrosine kinase (ltk) (26 Jun 1999) |
| light-repressible receptor protein kinase | <enzyme> Photo-regulated protein isolated from arabidopsis thaliana; genbank x97774 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: lrrpk gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| low density lipoprotein receptor | <biochemistry> A cell surface protein that mediates the endocytosis of low density lipoprotein by cells. Genetic defects in low density lipoprotein receptors lead to abnormal serum levels of low density lipoprotein and hypercholesterolaemia. (16 Mar 1998) |
| accretionary growth | Growth by an increase of intercellular material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| appositional growth | Growth accomplished by the addition of new layers on those previously formed; e.g., the addition of lamellae in the formation of bone; it is the characteristic method of growth when rigid materials are involved. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auxetic growth | Growth by increase in the size of component cells. Synonym: intussusceptive growth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterial growth | Growth of a bacterial culture either by increase in cell material or cell number. (05 Mar 2000) |
| B-cell differentiation/growth factors | Various substances, usually obtained from the supernatant of T-cell cultures, such as interleukin 4, 5, and 6. These substances are necessary for B-cell growth, maturation, and differentiation into plasma cells or B memory cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biphasic growth curve | <cell culture, microbiology> A particular type of growth curve seen in cultured microorganisms in which they have two exponential growth stages separated by a plateau phase. This double-hump curve is produced when the microbes are cultured using two carbon sources, one of which must be used up before the second can be used. (19 Jan 1998) |
| bovine growth hormone | <endocrinology> A hormone secreted by the bovine pituitary gland. It is used to increase milk production by improving the feed efficiency in dairy cattle. (14 Nov 1997) |
