How can you use “apical” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Surprisingly, the apical surface appeared to be most sensitive to the presence of bacteria, but this could be explained by the fact that the membrane supporting the basolateral cell surface reduced the amount of surface area available for receptor expression.

  • The resulting enzyme is both mislocalized and unstable [ 27 ] . Another mutation, Q1098P, was found to cause retention of SI in the transport pathway between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus [ 28 ] . An unusual mutation, Q117R, that alters the structure close to the O-glycosylated stalk domain, leads to random distribution of the enzyme to both the apical and basolateral cell membranes [ 29 ] . An unusual human mutation that causes SI to be secreted rather than retained in the plasma membrane demonstrates that the enzyme is required to be at the enterocyte cell surface [ 30 ] .
