| homologous proteins | <molecular biology> Proteins that look similar and work in similar ways in different species. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| serum proteins | Dissolved protein's (more than 100) of blood plasma, mainly albumins and globulins (normally 6 to 8 g/100 ml); they hold fluid in blood vessels by osmosis and include antibodies and blood-clotting protein's. Synonym: serum proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| silver proteins | <chemical> Compounds of silver and proteins used as topical anti-infective agents. Pharmacological action: anti-infective agents, local. (12 Dec 1998) |
| soy proteins | Proteins which are present in or isolated from soybeans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurofilament proteins | Type III intermediate filament proteins that assemble into neurofilaments, the major cytoskeletal element in nerve axons and dendrites. They consist of three distinct polypeptides, the neurofilament triplet. Types I, II, and IV intermediate filament proteins form other cytoskeletal elements such as keratins and lamins. It appears that the metabolism of neurofilaments is disturbed in alzheimer's disease, as indicated by the presence of neurofilament epitopes in the neurofibrillary tangles, as well as by the severe reduction of the expression of the gene for the light neurofilament subunit of the neurofilament triplet in brains of alzheimer's patients. (can j neurol sci 1990 aug;17(3):302) (12 Dec 1998) |
| structure proteins | Proteins whose role is for structure and support in tissue and within the cell; e.g., the collagens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleocapsid proteins | Viral proteins found in either the nucleocapsid or the viral core (viral core proteins). (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental enamel proteins | <dentistry> The proteins that are part of the dental enamel matrix. (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA-binding proteins | Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immediate-early proteins | Proteins that are coded by immediate-early genes, in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. The term was originally used exclusively for viral regulatory proteins that were synthesised just after viral integration into the host cell. It is also used to describe cellular proteins which are synthesised immediately after the resting cell is stimulated by extracellular signals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insect proteins | Proteins found in any species of insect. (12 Dec 1998) |
| integral proteins | Proteins that cannot be easily separated from a biomembrane. Synonym: intrinsic proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate filament proteins | Filaments 7-11 nm in diameter found in the cytoplasm of all cells. Many specific proteins belong to this group, e.g., desmin, vimentin, prekeratin, decamin, skeletin, neurofilin, neurofilament protein, and glial fibrillary acid protein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intrinsic proteins | Proteins that cannot be easily separated from a biomembrane. Synonym: intrinsic proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iron-sulfur proteins | A group of proteins possessing only the iron-sulfur complex as the prosthetic group. These proteins participate in all major pathways of electron transport: photosynthesis, respiration, hydroxylation and bacterial hydrogen and nitrogen fixation. (12 Dec 1998) |
