Pleiotropy Pleiotropy describes the genetic effect of a single gene on multiple phenotypic traits. The underlying mechanism is that the gene codes for a product that is, for example, used by various cells, or has a signaling function on various targets. A classic example of pleiotropy is the human disease phenylketonuria (PKU).he underlying mechanism is that the gene codes for a product that is, for example, used by various cells, or has a signaling function on various targets.

Tau protein The tau proteins are the product of alternative splicing from a single gene that in humans is designated MAPT (microtubule-associated protein tau) and is located on chromosome 17.They were discovered in 1975 in Marc Kirschner 's laboratory at Princeton University.au is a phosphoprotein with 79 potential Serine (Ser) and Threonine (Thr) phosphorylation sites on the longest tau isoform. Phosphorylation has been reported on approximately 30 of these sites in normal tau proteins. Phosphorylation of tau is regulated by a host of kinases, including PKN, a serine/threonine kinase.

Bt Corn: Method, Mode of Action and Benefits When a gene of interest is inserted in some other organism to see particular traits, it is necessary to insert some additional components also, so that the function of the desired gene can be observed properly. When we talk about the Bt corn, then the gene of interest is inserted in the following way.rticle Summary: Bt corn is a genetically modified crop. A protein is inserted into the plant's genome which is extracted from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. This bacterium increases the soil fertility. When insects eat this plant, they get starved and die as a result....

- For more information visit https://naturalmedicines.therapeuticresearch.com/. Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is caused by a mutation in the human NTRK1 gene, which is also called the TRKA gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein in the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTKR) family. The NTKR family comprises receptors that are found on the surface of nerve cells. The NTKR receptors respond to nerve growth factor (NGF), which is needed by nerve cells for proper function and survival.

Tumor suppressor gene Unlike oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes generally follow the  two-hit hypothesis , which implies that both alleles that code for a particular protein must be affected before an effect is manifested. This is because if only one allele for the gene is damaged, the second can still produce the correct protein.

Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms Tumor Suppressor Gene. A tumor suppressor gene directs the production of a protein that is part of the system that regulates cell division. The tumor suppressor protein plays a role in keeping cell division in check. When mutated, a tumor suppressor gene is unable to do its job, and as a result uncontrolled cell growth may occur. This may contribute to the development of a cancer. play stop

Krabbe Disease Krabbe disease is a genetic disorder, which means that a person inherits the disease from his or her parents. It is caused by a genetic mutation—a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a certain gene. The mutation affects the message that the gene sends to the cells in your body.

Introduction It is a key downstream effector of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). The PI3K/Akt pathway seems to be one of the most potent survival signaling pathways. The Akt family has three closely related isoforms Akt1, Akt2 and Akt3 encoded by three different genes located on chromosome 14q32, 19q13 and 1q43. They are widely distributed in human tissues, though Akt3 expression seems to be more restricted, being primarily in brain and testis.

Botulinum toxin Botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin (BTX) is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species. It prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction and thus causes flaccid paralysis. Infection with the bacterium causes the disease botulism.

- Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a spore forming (flash animation) bacterium that produces crystals protein (cry proteins), which are toxic to many species of insects.t belongs to the family of bacteria, Bacillus cerus (B. cerus). B. cerus strains produce toxins that cause gastroenteritis (food poisoning) in humans. Bt is differentiated from B. cerus because it contains a plasmid (flash animation) that produces the protein crystals that are toxic to insects.
