| V-type ATPase | <enzyme> From eukaryotic endomembrane systems, including vacuoles, lysosomes, golgi apparatus, chromaffin granules and coated vesicles. One of three major classes of ion transport ATPase, characterised by a multi subunit structure and a lack of a phosphorylated intermediate. Found in archaebacteria but not eubacteria, in the intracellular acidic vacuoles and in some proton pumping epithelia (e.g. Intercalated cells of kidney). A complex enzyme encoded by several genes, involved in ion translocation but does not act via phosphorylated enzyme intermediate See: P-type ATPase. Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: atpase, v-type, atpase, vacuolar, vacuolar atpase, v-atpase, vacuolar h+-atpase, vacuolar membrane h(+)-atpase, vha55 gene product, vma16 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |

| Gm type | <immunology> Genetically determined allotypic antigens found on IgG of some individuals. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Golgi type II neuron | <physiology> Nerve cells with short axons which ramify in the gray matter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi type I neuron | <physiology> Nerve cells whose long axons leave the gray matter of which they form a part. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrane-type 3 matrix metalloproteinase | <enzyme> Sm3 is a soluble form of mt3-mmp, probably an alternatively sliced variant. Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: mt3-mmp, sm3-mmp (26 Jun 1999) |
| membrane-type 4 matrix metalloproteinase | <enzyme> Cloned from breast carcinoma. Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: mt4-mmp, mmp-17 gene product, mmp-17 (26 Jun 1999) |
| membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase | <enzyme> Activates gelatinase a; isolated from a human placenta cdna gene library; contains a transmembrane domain; do not use for any other numbered matrix metalloproteinases; genbank d26512 Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: mt-mmp, mmp-x1 protein, matrix metalloproteinase, membrane-type, mmp14 gene product, mmp-14 gene product, mt1-mmp, matrix metalloproteinase 14, mt2-mmp, mmp15 gene product, mmp16 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| retroviruses type b, mammalian | A genus of the family retroviridae consisting of a few exogenous, vertically transmitted and endogenous viruses of mice. It is associated with mammary carcinoma and T-cell lymphoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retroviruses type c, avian | A genus of the family retroviridae with type c morphology, that causes malignant and other diseases in wild birds and domestic fowl. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retroviruses type c, mammalian | A genus of retroviridae comprising endogenous sequences in mammals, related reticuloendotheliosis viruses of birds, and a reptilian species. Many species contain oncogenes and cause leukaemias and sarcomas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retroviruses, type d | A genus of the family retroviridae consisting of oncogenic exogenous retroviruses that contain type d particles. They include the type species, mason-pfiser monkey virus, isolated from mammary carcinoma and normal tissues in rhesus monkeys, and several other serotypes of simian type d retroviruses (retroviruses type d, simian), all of which cause simian aids (saids) and other malignancies. The permanent human fibroblast virus (pmfv) is also type d. The core of the type d viruses is the intracytoplasmic type a particle and its mechanism of budding from the cell membrane is similar to the type b oncoviruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retroviruses type d, simian | Type d retroviruses that cause simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (saids) and malignancies in monkeys. at least five serotypes of srv are recognised: srv-1, srv-2 (retrovirus-d/new england), srv-3 (mason-pfiser monkey virus), srv-4, and srv-5. Subcutaneous fibrosarcoma is associated with srv-1 infection and retroperitoneal fibromatosis is associated with srv-2 infection. (12 Dec 1998) |
| grandiose type of paranoid disorder | A delusion in which the person believes that he or she possesses some great but unrecognised talent or insight, or has made an important discovery, with subsequent efforts toward official or public recognition. (05 Mar 2000) |
| childhood type tuberculosis | First infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, typically seen in children but also occurs in adults, characterised in the lungs by the formation of a primary complex consisting of small peripheral pulmonary focus with spread to hilar or paratracheal lymph nodes; may cavitate or heal with scarring or may progress. Synonym: childhood type tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pernicious anaemia type rubriblast | The earliest of four maturation stages of the megaloblast. See: erythroblast. Synonym: pernicious anaemia type rubriblast. (05 Mar 2000) |
