| Rho-associated kinase | <enzyme> Binds the g-protein rho; rock-i and rock-ii are two isoforms; genbank u36909 Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: rho-kinase, rock-i, rock-ii, p160(rock), let-502 kinase (26 Jun 1999) |

| growth associated proteins | <growth factor> Group of developmentally regulated polypeptides thought to be critical for the formation of neural circuitry. The acidic membrane phosphoprotein GAP 43 is synthesised and transported down regenerating and developing axons, pp46 localised in growth cone membranes during embryogenesis, B 50 in mature presynaptic membranes in the regulation of phosphotidylinositol turnover and F1 in the hippocampus during long-term potentiation, are now all known to be the same protein. (18 Nov 1997) |
| RLK5-associated protein phosphatase | <enzyme> Associated with serine-threonine receptor-like kinase, rlk5; from arabidopsis thaliana; composed of 3 domains, an amino-terminal signal anchor, a kinase interaction domain and a type 2c protein phosphatase catalytic domain; mw 65 kD; genbank u09505 Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: kapp, kinase-associated protein phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| gut-associated lymphoid tissue | <physiology> Peripheral lymphoid organ consisting of lymphoid tissue associated with the gut (Peyer's patches, tonsils, mesenteric lymph nodes and the appendix). It is especially rich in B-cells and is responsible for localised immunity to pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. (20 Sep 2002) |
| Rous-associated virus | A leukaemia virus of the leukosis-sarcoma complex which by phenotypic mixing with a defective (noninfectious) strain of Rous sarcoma virus effects production of infectious sarcoma virus with envelope antigenicity of the RAV. (05 Mar 2000) |
| microtubule-associated protein 1B kinase | <enzyme> Serine-threonine-specific protein kinase which acts on microtubule-associated protein 1b (map1b); activated by various mitogens; does not act on map2 Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: map1b kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| microtubule-associated protein-2 phosphatase | <enzyme> does not fit into any of the classes of protein phosphatases (types 1,2a,2b and 2c) involved in cellular regulation Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: map-2 phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| microtubule-associated proteins | <protein> High molecular weight proteins found in the microtubules of the cytoskeletal system. Under certain conditions they are required for tubulin assembly into the microtubules and stabilise the assembled microtubules. Acronym: MAP (12 Dec 1998) |
| myelin-associated glycoprotein | A myelin protein found in the periaxonal membrane of both the central and peripheral nervous systems myelin sheaths. It has a structure that is similar to members of the ig superfamily that participate in cell adhesion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| croup-associated virus | parainfluenza virus type 2 |
| pregnancy-associated alpha-plasma protein | An alpha 2-macroglobulin, molecular weight approximately 750,000 now believed to be a pregnancy-specific protein. Its plasma levels increase steadily during the second trimester and continue to rise until the end of gestation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pregnancy-associated beta-plasma protein | A beta-globulin now believed to be a pregnancy-specific protein. Its plasma levels increase steadily during pregnancy until the end of gestation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pregnancy-associated esterase | <enzyme> In baboons, amount of activity correlates with stage of pregnancy; hydrolyzes alpha-naphthyl butyrate in preference to alpha-naphthyl acetate Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: pregnancy esterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| hepatitis-associated antigen | A term used for the surface antigen of hepatitis B virus before its nature was established. See: hepatitis B surface antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scaffold-associated regions | Sites in DNA that bind topoisomerase II and other scaffold proteins; found in introns. (05 Mar 2000) |
