Glossary Term
The complete genomic content of an organism, and possibly the full DNA sequence of that organism. It is contained in a set of chromosomes in eukaryotes, a single chromosome in bacteria, or a DNA or RNA molecule in viruses.
Glossary Term
The determination of the DNA sequence of an individual.
Glossary Term
The n-th root of the multiple products of n values, as contrasted with the normally understood arithmetic mean.
Glossary Term
Any mutation that appears in the gametes and which will therefore be transmitted to the progeny with some frequency.
Tests
Globulins are a group of proteins in your blood. Some globulins are made by your liver. Others are made by your immune system . Globulins play an important role in liver and kidney function, blood clotting, and fighting infection. There are different types of globulins called alpha, beta, and gamma globulins. Tests to measure globulins include:
Indicators
Glucagon (29 aa, ~3 kDa) is encoded by the human GCG gene. This protein plays a role in the regulation of blood sugar levels through the stimulation of hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.
Tests
This test measures the amount of glucagon in your blood. Glucagon is a hormone made by your pancreas. Hormones are chemical messengers in your bloodstream that control the actions of certain cells or organs. Glucagon works with other hormones, like insulin, to help maintain your body's level of blood glucose , also called blood sugar. Glucagon increases your blood glucose levels, while insulin decreases your blood glucose levels.
Tests
A glucose in urine test measures the amount of glucose in your urine (pee). Glucose is a type of sugar. It is your body's main source of energy. Glucose comes from the food you eat. Your body breaks down most of that food into glucose and releases it into your bloodstream. Your blood carries glucose to your cells for energy.
Glossary Term
The covalent chemical or biochemical addition of carbohydrate or glycosyl groups to other chemicals, by glycosyl transferases.
Indicators
This gene is involved in signal transduction.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in signal transduction and is involved in calcium signaling.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in signal transduction and is associated with pituitary tumors.
