Example sentences for: transmembrane
How can you use “transmembrane” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Rv0365c encodes a hypothetical protein of 376 amino acids which displays significant homology only to a Corynebacterium glutamicum hypothetical protein of unknown function (42% identity in a 296 aa overlap) [ 23 ] . Rv2235 encodes a hypothetical protein of 271 aa with three putative transmembrane domains and which displays significant homology only to hypothetical protein MLCB1243.
Another co-regulated but poorly studied gene is 'secreted and transmembrane 1' (U77643), which resembles a cytokine or growth factor in its broad structural characteristics [ 40].
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a generalized exocrine disease resulting from the defective regulation of epithelial chloride ion transport within various organ systems, most importantly the lungs [ 1 2 3 4 ] . This dysfunction can arise from a variety of mutations within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene on chromosome 7, which encodes the transmembrane pump responsible for regulating transepithelial ion levels [ 1 2 4 ] . This defect is associated with an increased viscosity of the airway surface fluid, and according to some studies, an altered salt concentration [ 5 6 ] . These and other pleiotropic effects of the CF gene abnormality increase the susceptibility of CF patients to bronchopulmonary bacterial infection by opportunistic pathogens.
When only the P-M2 region is used, the highest scores are with members of the voltage-gated K +channel family (Kv), and with members of a bacterial family of putative K +channels that have transmembrane segments quite similar to those of the Kv family.
3) When Alignment A is used to develop homology models, most residues that are highly conserved both within and between the different families interact with residues of other transmembrane segments.
