| cap binding protein | <molecular biology, protein> Protein (24 kD) with affinity for cap structure at 5' end of mRNA that probably assists, together with other initiation factors, in binding the mRNA to the 40S ribosomal subunit. Translation of mRNA in vitro is faster if it has a cap binding protein. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| cap II RNA(nucleoside-2'-)methyltransferase | <enzyme> Converts cap i-terminated mRNA to cap II-terminated mRNA Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: cap II methylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cap I RNA (nucleoside-2'-)methyltransferase | <enzyme> Converts cap 0-terminated mRNA to cap i-terminated mRNA Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: cap I methylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Cap(m(7)GpppXm) endonuclease | <enzyme> Cleaves capped rnas to generate primers that initiate viral RNA transcription Registry number: EC 3.1.27.- Synonym: cap mgx endonuclease, decapping enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| cap of the ampullary crest | A gelatinous mass that overlies the hair cells of the ampullary crests of the saemicircular ducts; movement of endolymphatic fluid causes the cupula to move across the hair cells of the ampullary crest. Synonym: cap of the ampullary crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cap splint | A plastic or metallic fracture appliance designed to cover the crowns of the teeth and usually cemented to them. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cap stage | Second stage of tooth development wherein there is development of the inner and outer enamel epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cervical cap | A contraceptive diaphragm that fits over the cervix uteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chin cap | An extraoral appliance designed to exert an upward and backward force on the mandible by applying pressure to the chin, thereby preventing forward growth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metanephric cap | The concentrated mass of mesodermal cells about the metanephric bud in a young embryo; the cells of the cap form the uriniferous tubules of the permanent kidney. Synonym: metanephric blastema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| RNA cap analogs | Analogs of RNA cap compounds which do not have a positive charge. These compounds inhibit the initiation of translation of both capped and uncapped messenger RNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| root cap | <botany> A mass of parenchymtous cells which covers and protects the growing cells at the end of a root; a pileorhiza. The issue found at the apex of roots, overlying the root apical meristem and protecting it from friction as the root grows through the soil. Secretes a glycoprotein mucilage as a lubricant. (18 Nov 1997) |
| phrygian cap | On cholecystography, an incomplete septum, or a fold in the gallbladder, whose shape suggests the liberty cap of the French Revolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plant root cap | A cone-shaped structure in plants made up of a mass of meristematic cells that covers and protects the tip of a growing root. It is the putative site of gravity sensing in plant roots. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cradle cap | <dermatology> A form of seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp in infants that is characterised by flaky or scaly skin which may be reddened. May involve the skin on the nose, eyebrows, scalp, ears and skin of the trunk (in skin folds). A weak 0.5% hydrocortisone cream can be effective in controlling this problem. (27 Sep 1997) |
