  • (12) We found that an increase in phosphorylation of numatrin was associated with stimulation of the cells with insulin for 4 h and that the level of phosphorylation remained elevated after 8 h. By this time there was no increase in numatrin abundance as shown by Coom-massie blue stain and Western blot analysis.
  • (13) It was also a competitive inhibitor with respect to the alternate acceptor beta DGal(1----3)beta DGlcNAcO(CH2)8-COOMe.

  • (15) The COOMe derivative was the only compound showing greater effects at the hisC3076 locus than the hisD3052 or hisG46 loci.

Corm


Definition:

  • (n.) Same as Cormus, 2.
  • (n.) A solid bulb-shaped root, as of the crocus. See Bulb.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The stability of various concentrations of morphine sulfate solution stored in Cormed III (Kalex) i.v.
  • (2) The TC1 mRNA accumulates during corm development, is more prevalent in corm apical than basal regions, and is either absent, or present at low concentrations, in other vegetative organs such as the leaf and root.
