vanishing white matter disease  n. (VWM disease)

p. 913

Mutations in eukaryotic initiation factor 2 result in a mysterious disease, called vanishing white matter (VWM) disease, in which nerve cells in the brain disappear and are replaced by cerebrospinal fluid (Figure 30.29).
variable number of tandem repeats region  n. (VNTR region)

p. 329

The defining feature of the mucins is a region of the protein backbone termed the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) region, which is rich in serine and threonine residues that are O-glycosylated.
vascular endothelial growth factor  n. (VEGF)

p. 476

HIF-1 also increases the expression of signal molecules, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), that facilitate the growth of blood vessels that will provide nutrients to the cells (Figure 16.23).
VDAC  n.

p. 524

The outer membrane is quite permeable to most small molecules and ions because it contains mitochondrial porin, a 30- to 35-kDa poreforming protein also known as VDAC, for voltage-dependent anion channel.
VEGF  n. (vascular endothelial growth factor)

p. 476

HIF-1 also increases the expression of signal molecules, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), that facilitate the growth of blood vessels that will provide nutrients to the cells (Figure 16.23).
Vibrio fischeri  [nom científic]

p. 934

An important type of interaction is called quorum sensing. This phenomenon was discovered in the bacteria Vibrio fischeri, a species of bacterium that can live inside a specialized light organ in the bobtail squid.
vicine  n.

p. 611

The Mediterranean plant Vicia faba is a source of fava beans that contain the purine glycoside vicine.

VNTR region  n. (variable number of tandem repeats region)

p. 329

The defining feature of the mucins is a region of the protein backbone termed the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) region, which is rich in serine and threonine residues that are O-glycosylated.
v-SNARE  n.

p. 919

After the transport vesicle has formed and is released, the coat proteins are shed to reveal another integral protein called v-SNARE ("v" for vesicle).
VWM disease  n. (vanishing white matter disease)

p. 913

Mutations in eukaryotic initiation factor 2 result in a mysterious disease, called vanishing white matter (VWM) disease, in which nerve cells in the brain disappear and are replaced by cerebrospinal fluid (Figure 30.29).
