| kazal proteins | <molecular biology> Family of serine protease inhibitors. Includes seminal acrosin inhibitors, pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), Bdellin B 3 from leech. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| fatty acid binding proteins | <biochemistry> Group of small cytosolic proteins that bind fatty acids or other organic solutes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| unwinding proteins | Enzymes that uncoil the DNA allowing recombination events to occur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fungal proteins | Proteins found in any species of fungus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fusion proteins, bcr-abl | Translation products of a fusion mRNA derived from the breakpoint cluster region (bcr) gene and a cellular abl (c-abl) gene translocated to chromosome 22. The p210(bcr-abl) fusion protein is found in patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia. The p190(bcr-abl) fusion protein is found in patients with acute lymphocytic leukaemia. The activation of human c-abl by chromosomal translocation is essentially the same as the activation of murine c-abl by viral translocation in abelson murine leukaemia virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fusion proteins, gag-onc | General name for the translation products of a fusion mRNA consisting of a gag gene and a viral oncogene (v-onc). These products are thought to have the ability to transform cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fusion proteins, gag-pol | Polyprotein products of a fused portion of retroviral mRNA containing the gag and pol genes. The polyprotein is synthesised only five percent of the time since pol is out of frame with gag, and is generated by ribosomal frameshifting. (12 Dec 1998) |
| luminescent proteins | Proteins which are involved in the phenomenon of light emission in living systems. Included are the "enzymatic" and "non-enzymatic" types of system with or without the presence of oxygen or co-factors. (12 Dec 1998) |
