||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alternative Splicing | a regulated process during gene expression that results in a single gene coding for multiple proteins
🗑
|
||||
| Arachiodonic acid | a fatty acid and a precursor that is metabolized by various enzymes to a wide range of biologically and clinically important eicosanoids involved in cellular signaling
🗑
|
||||
| Arrestins | Proteins that bind to a receptor to block further signaling; they target receptors for internalization; they redirect signaling to alternative pathways
🗑
|
||||
| Autophosphrylation | a process by which kinase proteins phosphorylate themselves enzymatically
🗑
|
||||
| Calthrin | a plasma membrane surface protein that plays a major role in endocytosis of vesicles and internalization of receptors
🗑
|
||||
| Coactivators | proteins that stimulate gen expression by binding to a transcription factor that has attached to a DNA
🗑
|
||||
| Cytokines | small proteins produced by cells of the immune system that act as hormones and affect communications between body cells
🗑
|
||||
| G-protein | cell membrane proteins that are attached to cell surface receptors and upon stimulation of the receptor by a signaling molecule bind to GTP to form an active complex which mediates an intracellular event
🗑
|
||||
| G-protein coupled kinases | a family of proteins that regulate the activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by phosphorylating specific amino acids to prevent reactivation of the signaling pathway
🗑
|
||||
| Globulins | a family of proteins in blood that are produced in the liver and can act as carriers of hormones
🗑
|
||||
| Half life of a hormone | the amount of time it takes for a hormone concentration in blood to be reduced by half of its original concentration
🗑
|
||||
| Homodimers | a molecule composed of paired identical proteins
🗑
|
||||
| Hypophysis | another word for the pituitary gland (anterior pituitary = adenohypophysis; posterior pituitary = neurohypophysis)
🗑
|
||||
| Hypothalamo-pituitary axis | hypothalamus together with the pituitary gland
🗑
|
||||
| Iodothyronines | any of the iodinated derivatives of thyroid hormones
🗑
|
||||
| Regulatory System | any stimulus-response mechanism to allow organisms to sense and respond to changes in many different environmental conditions
🗑
|
||||
| Transcortin | an alpha-globulin that binds and transports biologically active cortisol hormone in plasma
🗑
|
||||
| Transcription factors | proteins that control which genes are turned on and off in the genome, binds to specific DNA sequence controlling the transcription of DNA to mRNA
🗑
|
||||
| Transduction | the process of converting a signal into another form
🗑
|
||||
| Tyrosine kinases | an enzyme that can transfer a phosphate group from ATP to a protein in a cell
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
