Palp
Definition:
(n.) Same as Palpus.
(v. t.) To have a distinct touch or feeling of; to feel.
Example Sentences:

(2) The lobus glomeratus receives inputs from the maxillary palps and also from processess of deutocerebral neurons.
(3) Lon-directed degradation of SulA was energy dependent, as was the increase in degradation of SulA in delta lon pAlp+ cells.
(4) Paper electrophoretic analysis showed that in the mixture of TOB and PALP, the spot corresponding to TOB alone almost disappeared and the spot associated with TOB overlapped with that associated with PALP, although the spots of TOB alone and PALP alone were observed as single spots on the cathode and anode sides, respectively.
(5) The activated glucocorticoid-receptor complexes (GRC) from rat liver bind tightly to histone (from calf thymus)-agarose and cannot be eluted with 3 M KCl or 50% ethylene glycol, but can be eluted with 20 mM pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PALP).
(6) Physiologically, the palp-pit receptors respond uniformly; they are most excitable by stimulation with carbon dioxide while they exhibit relatively moderate responses to various odorants.
(7) Testing of MAb binding to bacteria showed that a part of the BLp I, PALp I, and PALp II sites was immunoaccessible in intact homologous bacteria, and that the Hm I and Hm II epitopes were inaccessible.
