Example sentences for: sarcospan
How can you use “sarcospan” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Given the genomic localization of sarcospan in the critical region defined for CFEOM1, and its association with other proteins known to be involved in muscular diseases, sarcospan has been proposed as a candidate disease gene for CFEOM1 [ 5].
Sarcospan is also shown to map electronically to BACs that are considered to be outside of the CFEOM1 critical region.
The DNA sequence analysis and protein immunofluorescence results that show sarcospan to be normal in CFEOM1 patients, combined with the localization of sarcospan to BACs that are outside of the CFEOM1 critical region, make it unlikely that sarcospan is involved in CFEOM1.
Initially, to determine whether sarcospan was contained on YACs or BACs spanning the CFEOM1 critical region, YACs 766h7, 762e1, 951h6, 813h9, 782e8, 813g11, 832f4, 887g10, 916c8, 936f5, 946d5, 852c3, 723h3, 906f9, 798b12, 958b2, 943f6, 957b8, and 973h3 [ 2] and BACs B455J16, B50I19, B459A22, B392F18, B193D8, B855O3, B460N10, B351C12, B56H16, B937H2, B1035D8, B251K10, B152M7, B396F22, B45D10, B471G7, B520I18, and B367O10 (AECOM Genome Center Home Page chromosome 12 maps http://sequence.aecom.yu.edu/chr12/QARM1.pdfand http://sequence.aecom.yu.edu/chr12/Parm2.pdf) were tested.
Sarcospan is homologous to the tetraspanin superfamily, members of which have been shown to facilitate both integral-membrane and membrane-proximal protein interactions involved in many different cellular processes [ 12].
