| paired associates | Words, syllables, digits, or other items learned in pairs, so that when one is given, its associate is to be recalled. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paired beats | See: bigeminy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paired box domain | <molecular biology> Conserved domain of 128 amino acids, found in several developmentally regulated proteins in Drosophila (for example paired, gooseberry, Pox), mouse and human (for example Pax, HuP1, HuP48). (18 Nov 1997) |
| paired organelles | Electron-dense club-shaped, tubular or saccular organelles extending back from the anterior end of sporozoites and other stages of certain sporozoans in the subphylum Apicomplexa. Synonym: paired organelles, toxoneme. Origin: G. Rhopalon, club (05 Mar 2000) |

| Pajot's manoeuvre | An obsolete term for traction downward on the forceps lock with one hand while traction is applied with the other hand to bring the foetal head down in the axis of the birth canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Pajot, Charles | <person> French obstetrician, 1816-1896. See: Pajot's manoeuvre. (05 Mar 2000) |
| PAK2 kinase | <enzyme> Shows 79% identity to pak1 kinase; belongs to the family of p21-activated serine-threonine kinases; amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: pak2 gene product, p21-activated kinase 2 (26 Jun 1999) |
| Palade granule | <cell biology> A small particulate organelle found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and also within mitochondria and chloroplasts, but differing in size and composition. Made of two subunits, each being an RNA protein complex. Ribosomes are responsible for the translation of mRNA which may occur in the cytoplasm (see polyribosomes) or on rough endoplasmic reticulum. Origin: Gr. Soma = body (18 Nov 1997) |
| Palade pathway | <cell biology> The routing of proteins from the site of their synthesis to the final cellular or secreted position. Several different pathways are known and others suspected. Glycosylation of the proteins may provide specific address labels for the proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Palade, George | <person> Roumanian-U.S. Cell biologist and Nobel laureate, *1912. See: Palade granule, Weibel-Palade bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
