How can you use “xk” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The majority of papers discusses McLeod syndrome, which is associated with XK, but has no recognized relationship with apoptosis.
Stanfield et al [ 6 ] noted that 458-amino acid CED8 transmembrane protein of C. elegans is weakly similar to the human XK protein.
They are: "Apaf-1, a human protein homologous to C. elegans CED-4, participates in cytochrome c-dependent activation of caspase-3" (PMID: 9267021), a paper linked to APAF1; and "The ced-8 gene controls the timing of programmed cell death in C. elegans" (PMID: 10882128), a paper linked to XK.
In order to identify the process by which XK was included, we retrace the search path to find the two original kernel documents that related APAF1 to XK.
The CED8 and XK proteins share 19% amino acid identity, have similar hydropathy plots, and both contain 10 hydrophobic predicted membrane-spanning segments.
