| endothelin receptor | Simple squamous epithelium lining blood vessels, lymphatics and other fluid filled cavities (such as the anterior chamber of the eye). Mesodermally derived, unlike most epithelia. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| epidermal growth factor receptor protein-tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> The catalytic protein-tyrosine kinase domain found on the cytoplasmic beta-portion of epidermal growth factor receptor. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| estradiol receptor tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> Calcium and calmodulin dependent Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ertk (26 Jun 1999) |
| kainate receptor | A type of glutamate receptor that participates in excitatory neurotransmission and also binds kainate and acts as a cation channel; injection of kainate causes death of neurons but preserves glial cells and axons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fc receptor | Receptors present on a variety of cells for the Fc fragment of immunoglobulins. These receptors recognise immunoglobulins of the IgG and IgE class. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibroblast growth factor receptor | Family of receptor tyrosine kinases for fibroblast growth factor. (18 Nov 1997) |
| fibroblast growth factor receptor-like embryonic kinase | <enzyme> Found in avian embryonic tissue; involved in early differentiation of skeletal muscle. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: frek (26 Jun 1999) |
| laminin receptor | A receptor found in many cell types that binds laminin and has a role in cell attachment and neurite outgrowth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| L-AP4 receptor | A type of glutamate receptor that also binds a particular synthetic agonist and acts as a cation channel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| LDL receptor disorder | Abnormality in clearance of LDL from the plasma due to abnormality in LDL receptor activity; causes hypercholesterolaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leukocyte tyrosine kinase receptor tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> May be receptor for pre-b lymphocyte growth or differentiation factor; aa sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ltk receptor tyrosine kinase, ltk receptor tk, ltk protein, leukocyte tyrosine kinase (ltk) (26 Jun 1999) |
| light-repressible receptor protein kinase | <enzyme> Photo-regulated protein isolated from arabidopsis thaliana; genbank x97774 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: lrrpk gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| low density lipoprotein receptor | <biochemistry> A cell surface protein that mediates the endocytosis of low density lipoprotein by cells. Genetic defects in low density lipoprotein receptors lead to abnormal serum levels of low density lipoprotein and hypercholesterolaemia. (16 Mar 1998) |
| Abbe test plate | <equipment> A long, wedge-shaped coverslip about 0.20 mm thick at one end and 0.10 to 0.12 mm at the other end coated chemically with a silver film on which are ruled horizontal lines. at each variation in thickness of 0.01 mm there are vertical lines. By means of oblique illumination and by focusing on different portions of the plate, it is possible to determine the optimum coverslip thickness for any objective and also, for microscopes with drawtubes, the tube length for best objective performance. The approximate freedom from spherical and chromatic aberrations can also be estimated. Small isolated bits of silver near the edges of the lines form good objects for the star test (05 Aug 1998) |
| acetone test | A test for ketonuria; the suspected urine is shaken up with a few drops of sodium nitroprusside, and strong ammonia water is then gently poured over the mixture; if acetone is present, a magenta ring forms at the line of contact; tablets containing sodium nitroprusside and alkali are now more commonly used.
