  • (18) The human AMEL gene sequences have been located to the distal short arm p22.1----p22.3 region of the X chromosome, and the pericentromeric region of the Y chromosome.
  • (19) We have determined the chromosomal locations for the human and mouse amelogenin (AMEL) loci using Southern blot analyses of DNA from human, mouse, or somatic cell hybrids by hybridization to a characterized mouse amelogenin cDNA.
  • (20) Ehrlich ascites tumour, spleen (mouse), lymphatic leukemia L1210 and melanoma AMel 3 (hamster) are not influenced under identical experimental conditions.

Amyl


Definition:

  • (n.) A hydrocarbon radical, C5H11, of the paraffine series found in amyl alcohol or fusel oil, etc.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) The response (increase in action potential frequency) of nasopalatine and ethmoidal nerves to brief presentations of formaldehyde, ozone, or amyl alcohol was a power function of stimulus concentration.
  • (6) The response of cells to four odors (amyl acetate, 1-butanol, ethyl acetate and ethyl butyrate) showed differences in odor selectivity, suggesting their ability to discriminate among odors.
  • (7) In order to direct chromosomal integration of the alpha-amylase-encoding gene from Bacillus licheniformis (amyL) under the control of expression and secretion signals from Enterococcus faecalis, the chromosomal fragment (named AB) from the pGIP3124 plasmid [Hols et al., Gene 118 (1992) 21-30] was chosen and split into two fragments (A and B).
  • (8) Experiments focused on obtaining a complete intensity series, including interspersed unstimulated spontaneous activity records, for a single odorant (usually amyl acetate), but concentration responses to other odorants were tested when possible.
