Words similar to mannose
Example sentences for: mannose
How can you use “mannose” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
P. carinii attachment to type I pneumocytes may also be mediated by laminin, vitronectin [ 2, 3], or mannose [ 4].
The mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (M6P/IGF2R) maps to chromosome location 6q25-27 [ 14 ] ; a chromosomal region predicted to contain a head and neck tumor suppressor gene [ 10 11 ] . It encodes for a receptor that functions in intracellular lysosomal enzyme trafficking, transforming growth factor beta activation, and IGF2 degradation (reviewed in [ 15 16 ] ). Granzyme B internalization by the M6P/IGF2R is also required for cytotoxic T cells to induce apoptosis in cells targeted for death, resulting in this receptor being referred to as a "death receptor" [ 17 ] . Elevated IGF2 levels during murine development arising from M6P/IGF2R deficiency result in cardiac abnormalities, cleft palate, fetal overgrowth and perinatal lethality [ 15 18 ] . Furthermore, large offspring syndrome frequently observed in cloned animals is associated with epigenetic changes in gene regulation and decreased M6P/IGF2R expression [ 19 ] . Thus, the M6P/IGF2R plays a crucial role in regulating mammalian fetal growth and development.
Mannose, but not 3- O -methylglucose, also inhibits lipid breakdown.
P. carinii organisms are phagocytized when they bind to mannose receptors on the surface of macrophages [ 7].
Ad-GFP, adenovirus carrying GFP gene; Ad-GFP/Rz-IGF2R, adenovirus carrying both ribozyme against M6P/IGF2R and GFP gene; GFP, green fluorescent protein; IGF-II, insulin-like growth factor II; M6P/IGF2R, mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor; Rz, ribozyme, TGF-β transforming growth factor beta.
