Indicators
This gene plays a role in glucose homeostasis and the inhibition of apoptosis.
Indicators
This gene is involved in signal transduction and the inhibition of apoptosis.
Tests
A quantitative measurement of alanine aminotransferase present in a sample.
Glossary Term
A volatile liquid prepared by fermentation of certain carbohydrates. Alcohol acts as a central nervous system (CNS) depressant, a diuretic, and a disinfectant. Although the exact mechanism of CNS depression is unknown, alcohol may act by inhibiting the opening of calcium channels, mediated by the binding of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) to GABA-A receptors, or through inhibitory actions at N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptors. Alcohol inhibits the production of antidiuretic hormone, thereby producing diuresis that may lead to dehydration. This agent kills organisms by denaturing their proteins.
Glossary Term
Pertaining to a portion of the whole; any one of two or more samples of something, of the same volume or weight.
Glossary Term
Mutually exclusive alternative forms of the same gene occupying the same locus on homologous chromosomes, differing in nucleotide sequence and governing the same biochemical and developmental process.
Tests
The determination of the amount of alpha globulin present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of alpha-1 acid glycoprotein present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of alpha-fetoprotein present in a blood sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of the alpha-methylfentanyl in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase present in a sample.
Glossary Term
Alternate Splicing is a process in which multiple protein isoforms or products are generated from a single gene as a result of splicing together different nonconsecutive exons during the processing of initially identical nascent transcripts of a gene into mature mRNA transcripts. An exon may be connected to any one of several alternative exons to form the mRNA and generate related proteins, often in a tissue or developmental stage specific manner.
