| translocation carrier | A person with balanced translocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ubiquitin carrier protein kinase | <enzyme> A 300 kD kinase consisting of 3 subunits of mws 70, 105 and 120; requires magnesium but inhibited by high concentration; from hela cells Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| lactose carrier protein | <protein> The best known example is the product of the lacY gene, coded for in the lactose operon and responsible for the uptake of lactose by E. Coli. (18 Nov 1997) |
| 3-oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme of long-chain fatty acid synthesis, that adds a two-carbon unit from malonyl-(acyl carrier protein) to another molecule of fatty acyl-(acyl carrier protein), giving a beta-ketoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) with the release of carbon dioxide. Chemical name: Acyl-(acyl carrier protein):malonyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) C-acyltransferase (decarboxylating) Registry number: EC 2.3.1.41 (12 Dec 1998) |
| latent carrier | A person, typically a prospective parent, bearing the appropriate genotype of a trait (homozygous for recessive, homozygous or heterozygous for dominant, hemizygous or homozygous for X-linked) that manifests the trait only under certain conditions, e.g., age, an environmental insult, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long-chain-fatty-acid-(acyl-carrier-protein) ligase | <enzyme> Fatty acid, acyl-carrier-protein-sh and ATP gives acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein), AMP and ppi Registry number: EC 6.2.1.20 Synonym: fatty acid-acyl carrier protein ligase (AMP), acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein)synthetase, aacp synthetase, fatty acyl-acyl carrier protein synthase, vibrio harveyi, acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthetase, acyl-acp synthetase (26 Jun 1999) |
| active transport | <biochemistry, chemistry> Transport of ions, nutrients or other molecules into a cell against a concentration gradient, this requires the expenditure of energy through ATP hydrolysis. (06 May 1997) |
| anterograde transport | Movement of material from the cell body of a neuron into axons and dendrites retrograde axoplasmic transport also occurs). (18 Nov 1997) |
| atrial transport function | The role of the atria in filling and stretching the ventricles by their presystolic contraction, without which the force of ventricular contraction and hence the cardiac output may significantly decrease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axonal transport | Directed transport of organelles and molecules along a nerve cell axon. Transport can be anterograde (from the cell body) or retrograde (toward the cell body). (alberts et al., molecular biology of the cell, 3d ed, pg3) (12 Dec 1998) |
| axoplasmic transport | Transport by way of flow of axoplasm toward cell soma (retrograde) or toward axon terminal (anterograde). (05 Mar 2000) |
| biological transport | The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) across cell membranes and epithelial layers, usually by passive diffusion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biological transport, active | The movement of materials across cell membranes and epithelial layers against an electrochemical gradient, requiring the expenditure of metabolic energy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vectorial transport | <physiology> Transport of an ion or molecule across an epithelium in a certain direction (e.g. absorption of glucose by the gut). Vectorial transport implies a nonuniform distribution of transport proteins on the plasma membranes of two faces of the epithelium. (06 Mar 2000) |
| paracellular transport | Solvent movement across an epithelial cell layer through the tight junctions between cells. Compare: transcellular transport. (05 Mar 2000) |
