Terminus
Definition:
(n.) Literally, a boundary; a border; a limit.
(n.) The Roman divinity who presided over boundaries, whose statue was properly a short pillar terminating in the bust of a man, woman, satyr, or the like, but often merely a post or stone stuck in the ground on a boundary line.
(n.) Hence, any post or stone marking a boundary; a term. See Term, 8.
(n.) Either end of a railroad line; also, the station house, or the town or city, at that place.
Example Sentences:

(9) Microsequencing of the peptides resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicates that the amino terminus of the protein is disposed at or near the cytoplasmic surface of the gap junction, and that this surface also contains a protease-hypersensitive hydrophilic sequence between residues 109 and 123, presumably connecting the second and third transmembrane segments.
