Glossary Term

Tests
The determination of the amount of lipase present in a sample.
Glossary Term
A genetic variation where gain, loss, or exchange of DNA results in monoallelic loss of function mutations in a diploid cell. In the context of tumor suppressor genes, where a single copy is sufficient for functionality, loss of function for the second allele is associated with tumorigenesis.
Tests
The determination of th lymphoid aggregates in a sample.
Indicators
One of nine essential amino acids in humans required for growth and tissue repair, Lysine is supplied by many foods, especially red meats, fish, and dairy products. Lysine seems to be active against herpes simplex viruses and present in many forms of diet supplements. The mechanism underlying this effect is based on the viral need for amino acid arginine; lysine competes with arginine for absorption and entry into cells. Lysine inhibits HSV growth by knocking out arginine. (NCI04)
Indicators
This gene may be involved in Golgi stabilization, embryogenesis or transcriptional regulation.
Tests
The determination of the amount of macrophage migration inhibitory factor present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of macrophage-derived chemokine present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of mannitol present in a sample.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in signal transduction and regulation of transcription. It is also involved in cell differentiation, growth and proliferation.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in both protein phosphorylation and signal transduction.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in mediating cellular responses to growth factors, metabolic stimuli and mitogens.
