Example sentences for: metabolite
How can you use “metabolite” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Pyridine-2,6-bis(thiocarboxylic acid) (pdtc) is an iron-regulated metabolite produced by certain pseudomonads that is highly reactive towards metals by virtue of a pair of thiocarboxylate groups and ring nitrogen that combine to form a non-specific, high affinity, tri-dentate ligand (Figure 1) [ 1 2 ] . The formation constants for Co, Cu, and Fe complexes of pdtc were determined to be greater than 10 33 [ 3 ] . Uptake studies using 59Fe showed that addition of pdtc to the growth medium of two different pdtc-producing pseudomonads increased the efficiency of iron uptake by 20% [ 1 ] . The contribution of pdtc to iron uptake may be due to the fact that the copper complex of pdtc (Cu:pdtc) has the ability to reduce both soluble and mineral forms of ferric iron) [ 1 ] . Not surprisingly, in light of its high affinity for essential metals, pdtc also exhibits antimicrobial activity [ 4 ] .
It is expressed in intestine, kidney, liver and brain [ 16 ] . The function of SLC15A1 is to absorb and transport small peptides [ 17 18 ] . The efficiency of absorption and transportation of L DOPA and its metabolite dopamine, which are neurotransmitter candidates, is increased by SLC15A1 [ 19 ] . Therefore, it is an important potential gene for future drug design, delivery, and targeting [ 20 ] .
In each brain site examined (except the cerebellum), the major phytoestrogen metabolite was equol and there were relatively low levels of daidzein and genistein.
Wortmannin is a fungal metabolite that is a relatively selective inhibitor of PI 3-kinase with a half-maximal inhibition (IC 50 ) less than 5 nM [ 11 ] . In the wortmannin experiments, media were changed every 2 hours for a total of 12 hours in all of the conditions because wortmannin is unstable in solution at physiological pH [ 19 ] . The shorter incubation time with insulin in the wortmannin experiments resulted in a decreased inhibitory effect of insulin, i.e., an ~22% inhibition of SP-A mRNA levels (Fig.
Such functions may include metabolite permeation.
