|---|---|
| ALLO | atypical Legionella-like organism |
| ALPPL | alkaline phosphatase-like, placental |
| ALS | acute lateral sclerosis; advanced life support; afferent loop syndrome; amyotrophic lateral sclerosi... |
| ALSD | Alzheimer-like senile dementia |
| broom-like | <botany> Describes a plant which has many branches parallel or almost so and usually erect. (09 Oct 1997) |

| gallus adeno-like virus | A virus with characteristics of adenovirus, not known to be associated with natural disease. Synonym: gallus adeno-like virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| GCK-like kinase | <enzyme> Similar to human germinal centre kinase. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: glk kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| receptors, insulin-like-growth factor I | Specific proteins on or in cells to which insulin-like growth factor I (somatomedin c) binds and thereby modifies the function of the cells. These receptors contain transmembrane and cytosolic domains, bind igf-I preferentially, and have high-affinity sites for igf-II. The alpha-subunit has a mw of 130 kD and the beta subunit possesses tyrosine kinase activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, insulin-like-growth-factor II | Specific proteins on or in cells to which insulin-like growth factor II and mannose-6-phosphate bind and thereby modify the function of the cells. These receptors have a mw of 250 kD and possess no tyrosine kinase activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reovirus-like agent | <virology> Genus of the Reoviridae having a double layered capsid and 11 double stranded RNA molecules in the genome. They have a wheel like appearance in the electron microscope and cause acute diarrhoeal disease in their mammalian and avian hosts. Probably the most important cause of severe dehydrating diarrhoea in children under three years of age worldwide. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever and diarrhoea. Aggressive fluid replacement is generally required. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pelle-like protein kinase | <enzyme> Mplk - mouse pelle-like kinase; mammalian homolog of drosophila pelle protein; expression is developmentally regulated and is greatest in liver; genbank l08476 Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: mplk (protein) (26 Jun 1999) |
| Rhabditis-like | See: rhabditiform larva. (05 Mar 2000) |
| messenger-like RNA | An ill-defined form of RNA, of high molecular weight, that never leaves the nucleus and is thought to be the precursor of messenger RNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ring-like corneal dystrophy | Thread-like opacities of the anterior corneal stroma, with acute, painful onset followed by decreased vision; autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pertussis-like syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome characterised by severe episodes of coughing resembling whooping cough (pertussis). (05 Mar 2000) |
| pleuropneumonia like organism | Very tinymicroorganisms (usually spherical with a diameter of 0.3 to 0.8 micrometres, the smallest cells known) which are able to slip through most filters andare therefore often found as contaminating organisms in cultures, vaccines and other supposedly sterile preparations. Some types of mycoplasmas cause pneumonia. Mycoplasmal contamination is an important problem in biotechnology, but fortunately the microbes can usually be killed with antibiotics. (09 Oct 1997) |
| pleuropneumonia-like organisms | The original name given to a group of bacteria which did not possess cell walls; these organism's, isolated from man and other animals, soil, and sewage, are now assigned to the order Mycoplasmatales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corticotropin-like intermediate-lobe peptide | <protein> A product of propiomelanocortin with unknown function. Acronym: CLIP (05 Mar 2000) |
| Csk-like protein-tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> Phosphorylates c-terminal conserved tyr of src family members; from mouse brain; has 52% identity with mouse csk; mw 52 kD; genbank u05210 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ctk (kinase), ctk gene product, csk-type protein-tyrosine kinase, ntk (kinase), bhk (kinase) (26 Jun 1999) |
