| J region | <molecular biology> The polypeptide chains coded for by J genes. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| umbilical region | The central region of the abdomen about the umbilicus. Synonym: regio umbilicalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| untranslated region | <molecular biology> The regions of a cDNA, typically that 5' to the initiation (ATG) site and that 3' to the stop site, which are not translated to make a peptide. Their functions are not well understood. (18 Nov 1997) |
| femoral region | The region of the thigh between hip and knee. Synonym: regio femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zygomatic region | The region of the face outlined by the zygomatic bone; the prominence above the cheek. Synonym: regio zygomatica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| K region | Carbons 9 and 10 of the phenanthrene ring system; thought by some to be the reactive spot in the various hydrocarbon carcinogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrillar region | <cell biology> Dense staining region of the nucleolus composed of 5nm fibres, RNA transcripts. (12 Nov 1997) |
| urogenital region | The anterior portion of the perineal region containing the openings of the urethra and vagina in the female and the urethra and root structures of the penis in the male. Synonym: regio urogenitalis, urogenital region. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flanking region | <molecular biology> The DNA sequences extending on either side of a specific locus or gene. (09 Oct 1997) |
| frontal region of head | The surface region of the head corresponding to the outlines of the frontal bone. Synonym: regio frontalis capitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| locus control region | A regulatory region first identified in the human beta-globin locus but subsequently found in other loci. The region is believed to regulate transcription by opening and remodeling chromatin structure. It may also have enhancer activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lumbar region | The region of the back lateral to the vertebral region and between the rib cage and the pelvis. Synonym: regio lumbalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Amberg's lateral sinus line | A line dividing the angle formed by the anterior edge of the mastoid process and the temporal line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amyotrophic lateral sclerosis | A serious neurologic disease that results from the progressive degeneration of the motor neurons. (27 Sep 1997) |
| amyotropic lateral sclerosis | A chronic progressive disease of motor neurons (the nerves that come from the spinal cord to supply electrical energy to the muscles). (12 Dec 1998) |
