| gene rearrangement, alpha-chain T-cell antigen receptor | Ordered rearrangement of T-cell variable gene regions coding for the alpha-chain of antigen receptors. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| gene rearrangement, beta-chain T-cell antigen receptor | Ordered rearrangement of T-cell variable gene regions coding for the beta-chain of antigen receptors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene rearrangement, b-lymphocyte, heavy chain | Ordered rearrangement of b-lymphocyte variable gene regions thereby contributing to antibody diversity. It occurs during the first stage of differentiation of the immature b-lymphocyte. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene rearrangement, b-lymphocyte, light chain | Ordered rearrangement of b-lymphocyte variable gene regions coding for the kappa or lambda light chains, thereby contributing to antibody diversity. It occurs during the second stage of differentiation of the immature b-lymphocyte. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene rearrangement, delta-chain T-cell antigen receptor | Ordered rearrangement of T-cell variable gene regions coding for the delta-chain of antigen receptors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene rearrangement, gamma-chain T-cell antigen receptor | Ordered rearrangement of T-cell variable gene regions coding for the gamma-chain of antigen receptors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| C chain | <protein> C-peptide is a byproduct of normal insulin production by the beta cells in the pancreas. Normal values are 0.5 to 3.0 ng/ml. Normal levels indicate that the body is still producing its own insulin. Low levels indicate that the pancreas is producing little or no insulin. Elevations can be seen in cases of insulinomas and islet of Langerhans tumours. (27 Sep 1997) |
| medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Deficiency in mitochondrial beta oxidation of fatty acids gives a disorder frequently masquerading as reye syndrome or sudden infant death; leads to buildup of octanoyl carnitine in urine Registry number: EC 1.3.- Synonym: mcaca-dehydrogenase, medium-chain acyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase, octanoyl-CoA dehydrogenase, mcad enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| respiratory chain | The mitochondrial electron transport chain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glycyl chain | A polypeptide component of insulin containing 21 amino acyl residues, beginning with a glycyl residue (NH2-terminus); insulin is formed by the linkage of an A chain to a B chain by two disulfide bonds; the amino-acid composition of the A chain is a function of species. Synonym: glycyl chain. In general, one of the polypeptides in a multiprotein complex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peptide chain elongation | The process whereby an amino acid is joined through a substituted amide linkage to a chain of peptides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peptide chain initiation | The process whereby the formation of a peptide chain is started. This process requires (1) the 30s subunit, (2) the mRNA coding for the polypeptide to be made, (3) met-trnai, (4) initiation factors, and (5) GTP. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peptide chain termination | The process whereby the last amino acid is added to a polypeptide. This termination is signaled by one of three termination triplets in the mRNA, immediately following the last amino acid codon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chain | 1. In chemistry, a series of atoms held together by one or more covalent bonds. 2. In bacteriology, a linear arrangement of living cells that have divided in one plane and remain attached to each other. Origin: L. Catena (05 Mar 2000) |
| chain-compensated spirometer | A Tissot spirometer in which compensation for change in bell buoyancy is accomplished automatically by a suspending chain of correct mass per unit length. (05 Mar 2000) |
