Example sentences for: ectodomain

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

α-Secretase-type ectodomain shedding divides the Aβ domain of APP, thereby generating α-secretase-cleaved soluble APP ectodomain (sAPP α ) [4].
The outer surface of the coiled-coil contains grooves into which three heptad repeat regions from the C-terminal part of the gp41 ectodomain pack, resulting in a stable six-helix bundle [ 42 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 ] . The six-helix bundle structure can be detected by specific antibodies [ 14 20 43 55 ] .
If α-secretase stimulation is to be truly viable as a human clinical intervention, it will be essential to assess the possibility that enhanced APP ectodomain shedding might incur mechanism-based toxicity (analogous to the concerns currently surrounding γ-secretase inhibitors).
A smaller fraction of APP molecules (approximately 20% in PC12 cells under basal conditions [5]) undergoes ectodomain shedding catalyzed by either the α-secretase (nonamyloidogenic) or β-secretase (potentially amyloiodgenic) pathway.
The identification of the regulatory components of the ectodomain shedding machinery have been long-sought in other studies employing phorbol esters to stimulate shedding of sAPP α or TGFα [4,35,36,37].
