Protein
Definition:

(15) The mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is anomalous since the undenatured, cross-linked proteins have the same Stokes radius as the native, uncross-linked alpha beta gamma heterotrimer.
(16) We also show that the gene of the main capsid protein is expressed from its own promoter in an Escherichia coli strain.
(17) Western blot analysis of these mitochondria using an antibody against carnitine palmitoyltransferase II purified from beef heart demonstrates a 68-kDa protein, which under ischemic conditions apparently is decreased by 2 kDa.
(18) Fifteen sera ICA-IgG and ICA-protein A positive with high titres remained positive thereafter.
(19) Patient or fetal cord serum is commonly used as a protein supplement to culture media used in in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
(20) Using the oocyte system to express size-fractionated mRNA, we have also determined that the mRNA coding for this protein is between 1.9-2.4 kilobases in length.
Vitellin
Definition:
(n.) An albuminous body, belonging to the class of globulins, obtained from yolk of egg, of which it is the chief proteid constituent, and from the seeds of many plants. From the latter it can be separated in crystalline form.
Example Sentences:
(1) We recommend, that the term vitelline macular degeneration ought to be used intead of Best's macular degeneration.
(2) This expansion involves the migration over the inner surface of the vitelline membrane of a specialized band of 'edge cells' at the blastoderm periphery.
(3) The vitelline envelope (VE) that surrounds an egg released from the ovary into the coelom of Xenopus laevis differs markedly, in structure and penetrability, from the VE surrounding an oviposited egg.
(4) Crescent-shaped Balbiani's vitelline body consists of ribonucleoproteins, lipoproteins, and phospholipids.
(5) Experimental evidence is presented showing that the component responsible for this effect acts on the vitelline envelope of the egg, increasing its susceptibility to sperm lysin.
(6) Similarities were increased number of lipid droplets in the cumulus cells, widened peri-vitelline space, peripheral displacement or breakdown of the oocyte nucleus and disconnection of the junctions between cumulus cell projections and the oolemma.
(7) The purine inhibits the detachment of the vitelline layer from the sea-urchin egg plasma membrane after fertilization and this effect leads to polyspermy.
(8) It has been suggested that gamete binding in ascidians might be mediated by an enzyme-substrate complex established between a sperm glycosidase and corresponding glycosides on the vitelline coat.
(9) cDNA clones for two Drosophila vitelline membrane genes have been identified on the basis of: (i) stage and tissue specificity of transcription and (ii) size and amino acid content of the translation product.
