| PSVER | pattern shift visual evoked response |
| PVC | peripheral venous catheterization; persistent vaginal cornification; polyvinyl chloride; postvoiding... |
| P-VEP | pattern visual evoked potential |
| PVF | peripheral visual field; portal venous flow; primary ventricular fibrillation |
| 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) |
| absorptive cells of intestine | Cell's on the surface of villi of the small intestine and the luminal surface of the large intestine that are characterised by having microvilli on their free surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| air cells | Air-containing spaces in the skull. See: pulmonary alveolus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| air cells of auditory tube | Occasional small air cells in the inferior wall of the auditory tube, near the tympanic orifice, communicating with the tympanic cavity. Synonym: cellulae pneumaticae tubae auditivae, air cells of auditory tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Alpha cells | Alpha cell's of pancreas or of anterior lobe of hypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha cells of anterior lobe of hypophysis | Acidophil cell's that constitute about 35% of the cell's of the anterior lobe. There are two varieties: one that elaborates somatotropin, another that elaborates prolactin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha cells of pancreas | Cell's of the islets of Langerhans that secrete glucagon. (05 Mar 2000) |
