| 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) |
| herpes virus, kaposi sarcoma-associated | Species of an unnamed genus, subfamily gammaherpesvirinae, isolated from patients with aids-related and "classical" kaposi sarcoma. The sequences suggest this is a new human herpes virus, unofficially identified as human herpes virus-8 (hhv-8). (12 Dec 1998) |
| human leukaemia-associated antigens | Antigen's on the surface of leukaemic cells which seem not to be present on the surfaces of the same type of normal cells; the myeloblast antigen of acute myelogenous leukaemia found in chronic myelogenous leukaemia is thought to be associated with a "blastic" transformation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human leukocyte-associated antigens | Proteins on the outer part of body cells that help fight illness. These proteins vary from person to person. Scientists think that people with certain types of HLA antigens are more likely to develop insulin-dependent diabetes.The HLA antigens are also responsible for histocompatibility reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| stomach cancer-associated protein-tyrosine phosphatase | <enzyme> Human transmembrane-type ptpase expressed in gastric, pancreatic and colourectal cancer cells; consists of 1093 amino acid; mw 200 kD; genbank d15049 Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: sap 1 phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| neurofilament-associated kinase | <enzyme> Phosphorylates a subset of peptides in vitro which are phosphorylated in vivo in cultured neurons Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: naf kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| NS5A-associated kinase | <enzyme> Involved in the phosphorylation of the hepatitis c virus ns5a nonstructural protein in vitro and in vivo Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| I kappa B alpha-associated protein kinase | <enzyme> Isolated from human monocytic cell line; phosphorylates ser(293), ser(288), and thr(291) of ikappabalpha Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: ikappabalpha-associated protein kinase, ikappab-alpha-associated protein kinase, ikappabalpha kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Ir associated antigen | Antigens coded for by IR (immune response) genes or antigens coded for by the genome close to the IR genes. See: Ia antigens. (18 Nov 1997) |
