| AMOG | adhesion molecule on glia |
| ELAM | endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule |
| Fc' | a fragment of an immunoglobulin molecule produced by papain digestion |
| Fd | the amino-terminal portion of the heavy chain of an immunoglobulin molecule; ferredoxin |
| hybrid molecule | <molecular biology> A double-stranded nucleic acid molecule which was artificially created from two different single-stranded nucleic acid molecules from different sources, for the purpose of comparing their nucleotide sequences. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| hydrophilic signaling molecule | <molecular biology> A type of molecule which, because it is easily dissolved in water (it is hydrophilic), can easily move through cell membranes and thus can be secreted from one cell and move into a target cell where it triggers a particular event. Many hormones and growth factors are hydrophilic signaling molecules. (09 Oct 1997) |
| neural cell adhesion molecule | See: NCAM. (18 Nov 1997) |
| intercellular adhesion molecule | See: ICAM. (18 Nov 1997) |
| intercellular adhesion molecule-1 | <chemical> A cell-surface ligand with a role in leukocyte adhesion and inflammation. Its production is induced by gamma-interferon and it is required for neutrophil migration into inflamed tissue. Chemical name: Glycoprotein ICAM 1 (human clone pHRVr1 deblocked protein moiety reduced) (12 Dec 1998) |
| organic molecule | <chemistry> A molecule with a basic skeleton made up of a skeleton of carbon atoms plus hydrogen and oxygen atoms and, in proteins, nitrogen. Organic molecules may also include isolated atoms of other elements. (11 Jan 1998) |
| endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule | 115,000 Mw molecule on the surface of endothelial cells that is involved in blood leukocyte attachment to vessel walls as well as emigration from the vessels into the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
