| tat-associated kinase | <enzyme> Abbreviated tak; binds to activation domain of tat Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: p-tefb, positive transcriptional elongation factor b (26 Jun 1999) |
| encephalomyelitis associated with carcinoma | An encephalomyelopathy as a remote effect of carcinoma, most often oat cell carcinoma of the lung; characterised by extensive nerve cell loss, which may be diffuse, but often predominates in particular portions of the central nervous system, particularly the limbic lobes, medulla, cerebellum, and gray matter of the spinal cord. Synonym: carcinomatous encephalomyelopathy, encephalomyelitis associated with carcinoma, paracarcinomatous encephalomyelopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ergot alkaloid-associated heart disease | Heart disease caused by endomyocardial fibrosis which extends into valve structures, producing stenosis and/or regurgitation, associated with ergot alkaloid use. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tumour-associated antigen | Antigens that are highly correlated with certain tumour cells. They are not usually found, or are found to a lesser extent, on normal cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus protease | <enzyme> Genbank af010430 Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: kshv protease, human herpesvirus 8 protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| lipoprotein-associated coagulation inhibitor | Formerly known as anticonvertin; a protein that inhibits the extrinsic pathway of coagulation by binding to the tissue factor III-factor VII-Calcium-factor Xa complex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphadenopathy-associated virus | <virology> A type of retrovirus (human immunodeficiency virus) that is responsible for the fatal illness acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Two strains have been identified. Type 1: the retrovirus recognised as the agent that induces AIDS. Type 2: a virus closely related to HIV-1 that also leads to immune suppression. HIV-2 is not as virulent as HIV-1 and is epidemic only in West Africa. Acronym: HIV (11 Nov 1997) |
| lymphocyte function associated antigen | A member of the integrin family that is expressed on all leukocytes and binds to ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 on a variety of cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 | A heterodimer molecule widely expressed on cells of haematopoietic origin. Cd11a antigen comprises the alpha chain and the CD18 antigen (antigens, CD18) the beta chain. Lfa-1 is a major receptor of T-cells, B-cells, and granulocytes. It mediates the leukocyte adhesion reactions underlying cytolytic conjugate formation, helper T-cell interactions, and antibody-dependent killing by natural killer cells and granulocytes. Intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (icam-1) has been defined as a ligand for lfa-1. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue | Extranodal lymphoma of lymphoid tissue associated with mucosa that is in contact with exogenous antigens. Many of the sites of these lymphomas, such as the stomach, salivary gland, and thyroid, are normally devoid of lymphoid tissue. They acquire malt tissue as a result of an immunologically mediated disorder. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lysosome associated membrane glycoprotein | <protein> Lysosome specific integral membrane glycoproteins. Long luminal domain, short transmembrane domain, very short cytoplasmic tail. Function not yet clear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| abdominal muscles | A large group of muscles in the front of the abdomen that assists in the regular breathing movement and supports the muscles of the spine while lifting and keeping abdominal organs such as the intestines in place. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antagonistic muscles | Those having an opposite function, the contraction of one having the potential, in theory, to "neutralise" that of the other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cervical intertransversarii muscles | Origin, anterior tubercle of cervical transverse process; insertion, anterior tubercle of next superior transverse process; action, abducts cervical vertebrae; nerve supply, ventral branch of cervical nerves. Synonym: musculi intertransversarii anteriores cervicis, anterior cervical intertransverse muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
