| fatty series | The alkanes; all the acyclic compounds in the methane, ethane, propane, etc., group, distinguished from the aromatic series. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| fatty stool | A stool containing excessive amounts of fat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty streak | <pathology> Superficial fatty patch in the artery wall caused by the accumulation of cholesterol and cholesterol oleate in distended foam cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| fatty tissue | <anatomy> Connective tissue that has been specialised to store fat. See: adipocyte. (25 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the final step in biosynthesizing storage liquid waxes from long chain fatty acyl CoA and fatty alcohols; forming predominantly c42 wax esters Registry number: EC 2.3.1.75 Synonym: acyl-coenzyme a-alcohol transacylase, aca transacylase, acyl-CoA-alcohol transacylase, wax-ester synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain-fatty-acyl-glutamate deacylase | <enzyme> Lca aminoacylase I almost specific to l-glutamate-containing lipoamino acids; lca aminoacylase II acts on fatty acyl amino acids with chain lengths between c11 and c16 Registry number: EC 3.5.1.55 Synonym: lca aminoacylase I, lca aminoacylase II, n-long chain acyl aminoacylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Rambourg's chromic acid-phosphotungstic acid stain | <technique> A stain for glycoproteins, used with an electron microscope, with which ultrathin tissue sections reveal complex carbohydrates in the same locations as shown by Rambourg's periodic acid-chromic methenamine-silver stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
