Slaty
Definition:
(a.) Resembling slate; having the nature, appearance, or properties, of slate; composed of thin parallel plates, capable of being separated by splitting; as, a slaty color or texture.
Example Sentences:
(1) We now report that TRP-2 (tyrosinase related protein-2), which maps to and is mutated at the slaty locus in mice, encodes a protein with DOPAchrome tautomerase activity.
(2) They map to the albino, brown, and slaty loci in mice, and encode proteins with similar structures and features, but with distinct catalytic capacities.
(3) We show that the TRP-2 of slaty mice has a single amino acid difference from wild-type TRP-2; a substitution of glutamine for arginine in the first copper binding site.
(4) The slaty locus encodes TRP-2, another tyrosinase related-protein, which has DOPAchrome tautomerase activity.
(5) Slaty Sike is a catchment that copes well under normal weather conditions but when the area is hit by bigger storms experiences a rapid flow of water down the steep hillsides, washing debris and stones into Haltwhistle Burn.
