Glossary Term
Fluorescence is a luminescence (i.e., optical phenomenon) in cold bodies, in which a molecule absorbs a high-energy photon, and re-emits it as a lower-energy (longer-wavelength) photon. The energy difference between the absorbed and emitted photons ends up as molecular vibrations (heat).
Pcr Terms
Indicators
A heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. This hormone is involved in gonadal development, growth, maturation and reproductive processes, including the regulation of spermatogenesis in males and follicular growth and ovulation in females.
Tests
The determination of a sub-population of helper follicular T-lymphocytes to a sub-population of helper follicular T-lymphocytes present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.

Indicators
This gene plays a role in the modulation of gene expression.
Glossary Term
A mutation occurring within the protein-coding region of a gene which results in a shift in the reading frame of the encoded protein. Frameshift mutations often result in the premature truncation of a gene product.
