Shab
Definition:
(n.) The itch in animals; also, a scab.
(v. t.) To play mean tricks; to act shabbily.
(v. t.) To scratch; to rub.
Example Sentences:
(1) The cdrk channel appears to be a member of the Shab subfamily, most closely resembling drk1.
(2) The cloning of RK5 confirms the presence in mammals of all four Drosophila K+ channel families: Shaker, Shab, Shaw, and Shal.
(3) This conservation of the K+ channel subfamilies Shaker, Shal, Shab, and Shaw suggests that not only the broad outlines of membrane electrical properties but also many molecular details as well evolved in the parent species ancestral to both invertebrate and vertebrate life.
(4) The Drosophila Shaker gene on the X chromosome has three sister genes, Shal, Shab, and Shaw, which map to the second and third chromosomes.
(5) This organization precludes the generation of multiple forms of the protein by alternative RNA splicing, a mechanism known to characterize the Drosophila potassium channel genes Shaker and Shab.
