G-6P  n. (Glucose 6-phosphate)

p. 323

Glucose 6-phosphate (G-6P)

El context és en una figura. El sinònim no és neològic.


GAL4  n.

p. 948

Genes required for galactose utilization in yeast are activated by a transcription factor called GAL4, which recognizes DNA-binding sites with two 5'-CGG-3' sequences on complementary strands separated by 11 base pairs (Figures 32.13).


Galdieria sulphuraria  [nom científic]

p. 184

For example, let us consider the unicellular red alga Galdieria sulphuraria, a remarkable eukaryote that can thrive in extreme environments, including at temperatures up to 56ºC, at pH values between 0 and 4, and in the presence of high concentrations of toxic metals.


gas-phase ion  n.

p. 85

Mass spectrometers operate by converting analyte molecules into gaseous, charged forms (gas-phase ions).


gastrointestinal peptide  n.

p. 805

TABLE 27.2 Gastrointestinal peptides that regulate food intake


gel pattern  n.

p. 350

FIGURE 12.15 SDS-acrylamide gel patterns of membrane proteins.


gene knockdown  n.

p. 163

The technique of RNA interference is called gene knockdown, because the expression of the gene is reduced but not eliminated, as is the case with gene knockouts.


genetic circuit  n.

p. 933

Thus, this genetic circuit acts as a switch with two stable states: (1) repressor high, Cro low, corresponding to the lysogenic state, and (2) Cro high, repressor low, corresponding to the lytic state (Figure 31.17).


genetic difference  n.

p. 1050

Many drugs are not effective in everyone, often because of genetic differences among individuals.


genomic method  n.

p. 89

Genomic and proteomic methods are complementary


genomic variation  n.

p. 18

Examination of genomic variation reveals that, on average, each pair of individuals has a different base in one position per 200 bases; that is, the difference is approximately 0.5%.


GGQ sequence  n. (glycine-glycine-glutamine sequence)

p. 911

The RF interacts with the peptidyl transferase center using a loop containing a highly conserved glycine-glycine-glutamine (GGQ) sequence, with the glutamine methylated on the amide nitrogen atom of the R group.


gla domain  n.

p. 304

The first domain, called the gla domain, is rich in xgammax carboxyglutamate residues (abbreviation gla), and the second and third domains are called kringle domains (named after a Danish pastry that they resemble).


GlcNAcase  n.

p. 327

Like phosphorylation, GlcNAcylation is reversible, with GlcNAcase catalyzing the removal of the carbohydrate.


GLP-1  n. (glucagon-like peptide 1)

p. 805

Another important gut signal is glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a hormone of approximately 30 amino acids in lenght.


glucagon-like peptide 1  n. (GLP-1)

p. 805

Another important gut signal is glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a hormone of approximately 30 amino acids in lenght.


glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency  n.

p. 610

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency causes a drug-induced hemolytic anemia


glucose sensor  n.

p. 636

Phosphorylase a is the glucose sensor in liver cells, facilitating the switch from degradation to synthesis.


glucose-stimulated insulin secretion  n. (GSIS)

p. 810

This question is important because a primary function of the pancreas is to respond to the presence of glucose in the blood by secreting insulin, a process referred to as glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS).


glutamine phosphoribosyl amidotransferase  n.

p. 479

Glutamine phosphoribosyl amidotransferase catalizes this reaction, which is the committed step in purine regulation.


glycan-binding protein  n.

p. 334

Such proteins, termed glycan-binding proteins, bind specific carbohydrate structures on neighboring cells surfaces.


glycine-glycine-glutamine sequence  n. (GGQ sequence)

p. 911

The RF interacts with the peptidyl transferase center using a loop containing a highly conserved glycine-glycine-glutamine (GGQ) sequence, with the glutamine methylated on the amide nitrogen atom of the R group.


glycogen breakdown  n.

p. 619

Glycogen Breakdown Requires the Interplay of Several Enzymes


glycogen lake  n.

p. 638

Such accumulations of cytoplasmic glycogen are called glycogen lakes.


glycogen-binding site  n.

p. 620

Each subunit is compactly folded into an amino-terminal domain (480 residues) containing a glycogen-binding site and a carboxyl-terminal domain (360 residues; Figure 21.5).


glycogen-storage disease  n.

p. 637

Edgar von Gierke described the first glycogen-storage disease in 1929.


glycolytic intermediate  n.

p. 610

Glycolytic intermediates accumulate and are then used by the pentose phosphate pathway to synthesize NADPH and ribose 5-phosphate.


good cholesterol  n.

p. 787

Until recently, high levels of HDL-bound cholesterol ("good cholesterol") relative to LDL-bound cholesterol ("bad cholesterol") were believed to protect against cardiovascular disease.


GPCR  n. (G-protein-coupled receptor)

p. 402

Because they signal through G proteins, 7TM receptors are often called G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

El sinònim no és neològic.


Grb2  n.

p. 413

The intracellular signaling cascade begins with the binding of Grb2, a key adaptor protein that contains one SH2 domain and two Src homology 3 (SH3) domains.


GSIS  n. (glucose-stimulated insulin secretion)

p. 810

This question is important because a primary function of the pancreas is to respond to the presence of glucose in the blood by secreting insulin, a process referred to as glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS).


GSK  n. (glycogen synthase kinase)

p. 632

The synthase is phosphorylated at multiple sites by several protein kinasesxguiollargxnotably, glycogen synthase kinase (GSK), which is under the control of insulin (p. 635), and protein kinase A.
