Indicators
This gene plays a role in cellular proliferation and mitogenic responses.
Indicators
A natural alkaloid derivative of xanthine isolated from the plants Camellia sinensis and Coffea arabica. Theophylline appears to inhibit phosphodiesterase and prostaglandin production, regulate calcium flux and intracellular calcium distribution, and antagonize adenosine. Physiologically, this agent relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, produces vasodilation (except in cerebral vessels), stimulates the CNS, stimulates cardiac muscle, induces diuresis, and increases gastric acid secretion; it may also suppress inflammation and improve contractility of the diaphragm. (NCI04)
Indicators
An essential amino acid in humans (provided by food), Threonine is an important residue of many proteins, such as tooth enamel, collagen, and elastin. An important amino acid for the nervous system, threonine also plays an important role in porphyrin and fat metabolism and prevents fat buildup in the liver. Useful with intestinal disorders and indigestion, threonine has also been used to alleviate anxiety and mild depression. (NCI04)
Glossary Term
The lowest limit at which something becomes detectable or relevant.
Indicators
Tissue-type plasminogen activator (562 aa, ~63 kDa) is encoded by the human PLAT gene. This protein plays a role in the cleavage of plasminogen between Arg-580 and Val-581 to form the fibrinolytic enzyme plasmin.
Indicators
This gene may play a role in the regulation of apoptosis.
Indicators
An aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces tenebrarius with bacteriostatic activity. Following active transport into the cell, tobramycin binds irreversibly to a specific aminoglycoside receptor on the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and interferes with the initiation complex between messenger RNA and the 30S subunit, thereby inhibiting initiation of protein synthesis, consequently leading to bacterial cell death. In addition, tobramycin induces misreading of the mRNA template causing incorrect amino acids to be incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain, consequently interfering with protein elongation.
Tests
The determination of the amount of total fat in a nutritional product or meal, or a portion thereof.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in a biological sample.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in both transcriptional regulation and limb development.
Tests
The determination of the amount of TPR-ankyrin repeat-containing protein 1 present in a sample.
Glossary Term
A genetic process in which single-stranded RNA with base sequence complementary to a region of plus strand DNA is synthesized by DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Following the binding of RNA polymerase on DNA promoter regions, the RNA product is synthesized in a 5' to 3' direction, elongating RNA along the DNA strand as the polymerase proceeds, accompanied by unwinding and rewinding of the DNA template.
