|---|---|
| special aquatic site | Those sites identified in 40 CRF 230, Subpart E (i.e., sanctuaries and refuges, wetlands, mud flats, vegetated shallows, coral reefs, and riffle and pool complexes). They are geographic areas, large or small, possessing special ecological characteristics of productivity, habitat, wildlife protection, or other important and easily disrupted ecological values. These areas are generally recognised as significantly influencing or positively contributing to the general overall environmental health or vitality of the entire ecosystem of a region.

| neoplasms by site | A collective term for precoordinated organ/neoplasm headings locating neoplasms by organ, as brain neoplasms, duodenal neoplasms, liver neoplasms, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| switching site | The break point in a DNA sequence at which a gene segment unites with another gene segment, as in the production of the immunoglobulins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase | <enzyme> Formerly EC 3.1.25.2 Registry number: EC 4.2.99.18 Synonym: endodeoxyribonuclease (apurinic or apyrimidinic), apurinic endonuclease, apurinic DNA endonuclease, purine insertase, endonuclease iv, DNA repair endonuclease, endonuclease vi, endonuclease iv, E coli, bap1, bovine ap endonuclease I, nfo gene product, apci, apcii, apciii, ap lyase, ap endonuclease, hap1 DNA repair enzyme, apurine-apyrimidine endonuclease (26 Jun 1999) |
| DNAse i hypersensitivity site | <molecular biology> A site on a DNA molecule that is especially prone to being cut apart by the endonuclease enzyme DNase I, which breaks down DNA into smaller fragments by cleaving phosphodiester bonds. These sites tend to be near active genes, which are regularly transcribed. (09 Oct 1997) |
| trophoblastic tumour, placental site | A tumour that arises from the trophoblast of the placental bed and is composed mainly of cytotrophoblastic cells. It encompasses lesions of low- and high-grade malignancy. (holland et al., cancer medicine, 3d ed, p1691) (12 Dec 1998) |
| expression site | The location in the genome of the gene for the variable surface glycoprotein that is currently being expressed (an expression-linked copy) by the trypanosome (a parasitic protozoan which causes the disease African sleeping sickness). most of these sites are near the ends, or telomeres, of a chromosome. (09 Oct 1997) |
| upstream activation site | A DNA sequence that regulates transcription like an enhancer but does notwork if its located downstream from a promoter. (09 Oct 1997) |
| fragile site | Places on chromosomes that tend to break more often than other places. These places also tend to be where chromosomal translocations (a type of chromosomal mutation) occur. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ligand binding site | The site on a protein's surface that binds a ligand; equivalent to the active site if the ligand is the substrate of an enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| age-specific rate | A rate for a specified age group, in which the numerator and denominator refer to the same age group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bensley's specific granules | Granule's in the cells of the islands of Langerhans in the pancreas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain-specific kinase | <enzyme> Expressed specifically in brain; member of the eph/elk receptor-like kinase family; mw 105 kD; may represent murine homolog of chicken cek7 receptor-like kinase; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: bsk tyrosine kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| galactosyl-1-3-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-specific 2,6-sialyltransferase | <enzyme> Genbank x77775 Registry number: EC 2.4.99.- Synonym: galbeta1,3galnac 2,6-sialyltransferase, st6galnac II (26 Jun 1999) |
