| 설명 | 혈액이 응고되는 것을 방지하는 항응고제를 넣은 혈액을 침강용 유리관에 넣어 가만히 세워 두었을 때 적혈구가 가라앉는 속도를 이르는 말이다. 1918년 스웨덴의 병리학자 파레우스의 창안에 의한 것이다. 측정방법으로 여러 가지가 있는데, 국제표준법으로는 1973년 웨스터그렌법의 1시간법이 선정되었으며, 1977년 그것을 개정하여 각국에서 쓰도록 권장하고 있다. 1시간 후 침강용 유리관 위쪽의 혈장기둥의 높이를 mm로 읽어, 그것을 적혈구침강의 1시간값으로 한다. 만약 혈장과 적혈구의 경계가 선명하지 못한 경우, 적혈구의 밀도가 그 이하에서는 일정하다고 여겨지는 곳의 눈금을 읽어 적혈구침강의 1시간값으로 한다. 측정 때의 실내온도는 18~25도로 한다. 일반적으로 이보다 온도가 높은 경우는 혈침반응이 촉진되며, 낮은 경우는 늦어진다. 정상 값은 2~10mm(남자), 3~15mm(여자)이며 15세 이하의 어린이, 50세 이상의 고령자에서는 약간 높다. |

| poly(A)-specific ribonuclease | <enzyme> From vigna unguiculata seedlings; bifunctional enzyme responsible for both poly(a)-polymerizing and poly(a)-hydrolyzing activities; removes the poly(a) tail as the first step in degrading mRNA Registry number: EC 3.1.13.4 Synonym: poly(a) nuclease, mRNA poly(a) nuclease, poly(a) ribonuclease (pan), pan2 protein (26 Jun 1999) |

| myelencephalon-specific serine protease | <enzyme> Specifically expressed in the nervous system; plays a role in normal homeostasis and response of spinal cord to injury. Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: myelencephalon-specific protease, msp enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein | A glycoprotein with the electrophoretic mobility of a beta-1 globulin. It is produced by the placental trophoblast and secreted into the maternal bloodstream during pregnancy. It can be detected 18 days after ovulation and its concentration in plasma rises steadily until, at the end of gestation, it reaches 200 mg/ml. It has been proposed as a measure of placental function for fertility control and is a candidate for an early pregnancy test. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prenylated peptide-specific endoprotease | <enzyme> Cleaves c-terminal tripeptide from prenylated protein having c-terminal sequence caax; race is rac and a-factor converting enzyme with same activity Registry number: EC 3.4.14.- Synonym: prenylated protein endoprotease, race enzyme, isoprenylated protein endopeptidase, isoprenylated protein endoprotease (26 Jun 1999) |
| cytosol non-specific dipeptidase | <enzyme> Also referred to as peptidase a (see synonym to penicillopepsin, EC 3.4.23.20) Registry number: EC 3.4.13.- Synonym: glycyl-l-leucine hydrolase, glycylleucine dipeptidase, gly-leu dipeptide peptidase, dipeptide hydrolase, glycyl-leucine dipeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cytotoxic T lymphocyte-specific serine protease | <enzyme> Structural sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: cytotoxic t lymphocyte-specific serine protease ccp I, cytotoxic t lymphocyte specific serine protease ccp II, mast cell protease type II (26 Jun 1999) |
| proline-specific dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase | <enzyme> From streptomyces species; removes diproline form c-terminus of proline-containing peptides such as boc-pro-pro-pro-pro or leu-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro Registry number: EC 3.4.15.- Synonym: pro-dpp-carboxypeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| prostate-specific antigen | <tumour marker> A simple blood test used to detect prostate cancer in men. The test measures a specific antigen normally secreted by the prostate. If cancer is developing, the prostate secretes greater amounts of prostate-specific antigen. This test is recommended for men with an enlarged prostate and an increased risk of prostate cancer. It is an enzyme that is produced by epithelial cells of both benign and malignant prostate tissue. It is an important marker for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. It is a single chain 31 kilodalton glycoprotein with 240 amino acid residues and 4 carbohydrate side chains that is a kallikrein protease. It is found in normal seminal fluid and produced by the prostatic epithelial cells. Elevated levels in blood serum are associated with prostatic enlargement and prostatic adenocarcinoma, and this allows early detection of cancer in many cases. In about 70% of cases, the rise is due to a cancerous condition. No large scale clinical studies have been completed to assess the impact of testing on survival from prostate cancer, and the medical and economic value of testing remain uncertain.

| site-specific mutagenesis | <cell culture, molecular biology> An in vitro technique in which an alteration is made at a specific site in a DNA molecule, which is then reintroduced into a cell. Various techniques are used, for the cell biologist, a very powerful approach to determining which parts of a protein or nucleotide sequence are critical to function. (18 Nov 1997) |
| site specific mutation | An alteration of the structure of a gene at a specific sequence, usually referring to experimentally produced changes in gene sequence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| site-specific recombination | <molecular biology> A type of recombination that occurs between two specific short DNA sequences present in the same or in different molecules. An example is the integration and excision of _ prophage. (18 Nov 1997) |
