Example sentences for: membrane-bound

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

  • Strikingly, soluble cytoplasmic molecules could not pass freely along the TNTs (with actin tagged with green fluorescent protein being the only exception), whereas membrane-bound proteins were transferred along TNTs and detected in the receiving cells, further supporting the likelihood of membrane continuity between connected cells.

  • In immature B cells, activation through the BCR induces either a state of unresponsiveness, termed anergy, or death by apoptosis, depending on the physical nature and concentration of the antigen [ 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ] . In some B cell lymphomas, activation through the BCR can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in vitro and tumor dormancy in vivo [ 19 26 27 28 ] . The core of the multi-subunit BCR is membrane-bound immunoglobulin (mIg), which is non-covalently associated with two co-receptor molecules, CD79a (Igα) and CD79b (Igβ), products of the mb-1 and B29 genes [ 29 30 ] . The biochemical changes induced by engagement of the BCR are extensive and include an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of several intracellular proteins, hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids, fluxes in the concentration of intracellular free Ca 2+, activation of several serine/threonine kinases including components of the MAP kinase pathway, and changes in the activities of a panel of transcription factors.

  • However, the signal transduction pathway, MAPK, has been shown to control and be upstream of DNA-replication, transcription, and cell cycle pathways [ 52 53 54 ] . The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, consisting of the MAP kinase kinases (MKKs) 1 and 2, and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) 1 and 2, which have been implicated in diverse cellular processes including proliferation, transformation, and cell differentiation [ 53 ] . The MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway has emerged as a crucial route between membrane-bound Ras and the nucleus.

  • What is the function of shed sAPP α ? Again, from other molecules, we know that shedding can serve important cellular functions by releasing diffusible ligands from their membrane-bound precursors (e.g.

  • A 'membrane-bound compartment' icon, derived from a simple compartment, is used to represent cells and organelles and inherits the compartment's volume and area properties while including a (transmembrane) 'voltage' property.
