| regulatory gene | A gene that codes for a repressor protein. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| regulatory region | <molecular biology> A DNA base sequence that controls gene expression. (14 Oct 1997) |
| regulatory regions or sequences | A DNA base sequence that controls gene expression. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regulatory sequence | <molecular biology> DNA sequence to which regulatory molecules such as promotors or enhancers bind, thereby altering the expression of the adjacent gene. (18 Nov 1997) |
| regulatory sequences, nucleic acid | DNA sequences involved in regulating the expression of other genes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| regulatory T-cell | <immunology> Vague term for any class of T lymphocyte not directly involved in the effector side of immunity, but involved in controlling responses and actions of other cells, especially T helper and T suppressor cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| methyl sterol oxidase | <enzyme> Converts sterol 4-methyl to carboxylic acid; requires NADH or NADPH Registry number: EC 1.- Synonym: methyl sterol mixed function oxidase, 4-methyl sterol oxidase, methylsterol oxidase, 4alpha-methylsterol oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| phosphatidylcholine-sterol o-acyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme secreted from the liver into the plasma of many mammalian species. It catalyses the esterification of the hydroxyl group of lipoprotein cholesterol by the transfer of a fatty acid from the c-2 position of lecithin. In familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency disease, the absence of the enzyme results in an excess of unesterified cholesterol in plasma. Chemical name: Phosphatidylcholine:sterol O-acyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.43 (12 Dec 1998) |
| myogenic regulatory factors | A family of muscle-specific transcription factors which bind to DNA in control regions and thus regulate myogenesis. All members of this family contain a conserved helix-loop-helix motif which is homologous to the myc family proteins. These factors are only found in skeletal muscle. Members include the myod protein (myod protein), myogenin, myf-5, and myf-6 (also called mrf4 or herculin). (12 Dec 1998) |
| public utility regulatory policies act | (PURPA) A federal law requiring a utility to buy the power produced by a qualifying facility at a price equal to that which the utility would otherwise pay if it were to build its own power plant or buy power from another source. (05 Dec 1998) |
| sequence, regulatory | A sequence of bases in DNA that controls the expression of a gene. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sterol | <chemistry> Any steroid-based alcohol having a hydrocarbon (aliphatic) side-chain of 8-10 carbons at the 17-beta position and a hydroxyl group at the 3-beta position (therfore an alcohol). Cholesterol is a sterol. Because of its hydrophilic property at the -OH end and hydrophobicity at the hydrocarbon side chain, it can be incorporated into the lipid bilayers of the cytoplasmic membrane. However, sterols only exist in the cytoplasmic membranes of eukaryotes while in prokaryotes, virtually none have sterols in their membranes except mycoplasmas, a group of cell wall-less bacteria. (09 Oct 1997) |
| sterol 27-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Performs multiple monooxygenations in the conversion of 5 beta cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-triol into 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid in presence of NADPH and cytochrome p-450 Registry number: EC 1.14.12.- Synonym: cyp27, cytochrome p450 cyp27, c-triol 27-hydroxylase, cyp27 gene product, p450c27 (26 Jun 1999) |
| sterol 3-beta-glucosyltransferase | <enzyme> A plasma membrane-bound enzyme that catalyses the glucosylation of plant sterols; reaction: sterol + udp-glucose = steryl-3-beta-glucoside + udp Registry number: EC 2.4.1.173 Synonym: udp-glucose sterol beta-d-glucosyltransferase, udpg-sgtase, udp-glucose-sterol-beta-glucosyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| sterol delta-5 desaturase | <enzyme> Involved in ergosterol synthesis; do not confuse with delta5,7-sterol delta-7-reductase which is involved in cholesterol biosynthesis Registry number: EC 1.3.- Synonym: sterol c5-6 desaturase, c-5 sterol desaturase, erg3 gene product, delta(5,6) sterol desaturase, syr1 gene product, delta(7)-sterol-c-5-desaturase (26 Jun 1999) |
