| fos-related antigen | <molecular biology> A group of phosphoproteins found in the cell nucleus which are structurally similar to the fos oncogene's gene product. (06 Mar 1998) |
|---|---|
| FYN-related kinase | <enzyme> 49% identical to human fyn and 47% to human src; genbank u00803 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: frk protein, frk gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| light chain-related amyloidosis | A form of primary amyloidosis in which the fibrillar amyloid deposits are derived from the amino terminal variable region of the light chains of immunoglobulin; seen in B-lymphocyte and plasma-cells dyscrasias. (05 Mar 2000) |
| localization related epilepsy | A clinically diverse group of epilepsy syndromes, some benign, some progressive. Many are hereditary with mendelian and nonmendelian mitochondrial inheritance. All are characterised by the occurrence of myoclonus, which may be limited or predominate in the condition. Specific syndromes include cherry red spot myoclonus syndrome, ceroid lipofuscinosis, myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibres, and Baltic myoclonus. Synonym: localization related epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphoma, aids-related | B-cell lymphoid tumours that occur in association with aids. Patients often present with an advanced stage of disease and highly malignant subtypes including burkitt lymphoma, immunoblastic large-cell lymphoma, small non-cleaved-cell lymphoma and diffuse large-cell lymphoma. The tumours are often disseminated in unusual extranodal sites and chromosomal abnormalities are frequently present. It is likely that polyclonal B-cell lymphoproliferation in aids is a complex result of ebv infection, HIV antigenic stimulation, and T-cell-dependent HIV activation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e1a proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e1a region of adenovirus which are involved in positive regulation of transcription of the early genes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e1b proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e1b region of adenovirus which are involved in regulation of the levels of early and late gene expression. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e1 proteins | The very first viral gene products synthesised after cells are infected with adenovirus. The e1 region of the genome has been divided into two major transcriptional units, e1a and e1b, each expressing proteins of the same name (adenovirus e1a proteins and adenovirus e1b proteins). (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e2 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e2 region of adenovirus. Several of these are required for viral DNA replication. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e3 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e3 region of adenovirus but not essential for viral replication. The e3 19k protein mediates adenovirus persistence by reducing the expression of class I major histocompatibility complex antigens on the surface of infected cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e4 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e4 region of adenovirus. The e4 19k protein transactivates transcription of the adenovirus e2f protein and complexes with it. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus early proteins | <molecular biology, protein, virology> Proteins encoded by adenoviruses that are synthesised prior to, and in the absence of, viral DNA replication. The proteins are involved in both positive and negative regulation of expression in viral and cellular genes, and also affect the stability of viral mRNA. Some are also involved in oncogenic transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| amino acids, peptides, and proteins | Amino acids and chains of amino acids connected by peptide linkages. (12 Dec 1998) |
| androgen-binding proteins | Carrier proteins produced in the sertoli cells of the testis, secreted into the seminiferous tubules, and transported via the efferent ducts to the epididymis. Participate in the transport of androgens; include also synthetic androgens binding proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| archaeal proteins | Proteins found in any species of archaeon. (12 Dec 1998) |
