Indicators
This gene is involved in cell cycle regulation and the loss of cellular adhesion.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in signal transduction and cell cycle control. It is involved in cell adhesion, differentiation, growth and migration.
Tests
TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone . Another name for it is thyrotropin. A TSH test is a blood test that measures this hormone. A TSH level that is too high or too low may be a sign of a thyroid problem .
Indicators
Tumor necrosis factor (233 aa, ~26 kDa) is encoded by the human TNF gene. This protein is involved in the induction of cytokine expression, the stimulation of cell proliferation and the positive regulation of cell differentiation.
Indicators
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B (401 aa, ~46 kDa) is encoded by the human TNFRSF11B gene. This protein plays a role in the negative regulation of both osteoblast differentiation and bone resorption.
Glossary Term
A statistical hypothesis test that controls directional errors if rejection of a hypothesis is the result of a directional decision. The two-sided test has less statistical power than the one-sided test.
Tests
A two-staged test with purified coagulation factors in the first stage, and a FXa-specific chromogenic substrate in the second stage. In the first stage, diluted sample plasma, which has been treated with Al(OH)3 to remove prothrombin, is mixed with a combined reagent (human serum, factor V, phospholipids and calcium). In the second stage, a subsample from the first stage is mixed with normal plasma, providing prothrombin and fibrinogen, and the clotting time is measured to deduce the amount of FVIII present.
Indicators
This gene is involved in RNA binding and pre-mRNA splicing.
Glossary Term
Ubiquitin is a family of widely distributed proteins found in all eukaryotes that contain a highly conserved sequence of 76 amino acids identical in organisms from humans to insects. It participates in diverse cellular functions by conjugation to other proteins through its carboxy terminus. Ubiquitination is associated with many highly regulated biological events including protein degradation, chromatin remodelling, heat shock, cell cycle progression, differentiation, antigen presentation, retrovirus assembly, apoptosis, signal transduction, transcriptional activation, biological clocks, receptor down regulation, and endocytosis. Protein ubiquitination regulates the half-lives of many proteins by targeting them for degradation. Newly discovered families of ubiquitination and deubiquitination enzymes participate in these processes. Ubiquitination enzymes may provide new therapeutic targets and ways of intervention in many human diseases.
Glossary Term
Short random nucleotide sequences that are ligated to each primer molecule during amplification of a nucleotide sample during library preparation to act as a unique tag. Their use helps to identify PCR duplicates in sequencing data.
Glossary Term
The product of so-called RNA genes; a functional RNA represents the final product of a gene rather than a transient molecule that will be translated into protein.
