WordDefinition
fibrous proteinIn molecular biology, fibrous proteins or scleroproteins are one of the three main classifications of protein structure (alongside globular and membrane proteins).
globulinnoun(biochemistry) Any of a group of simple proteins, soluble in water only in the presence of salts, that are coagulated by heat
glycoproteinnoun(biochemistry) A protein with covalently bonded carbohydrates.
globinnoun(biochemistry) One of several polypeptides that are the protein components of haemoglobin or myoglobin.
gamma globulinnounA fraction of blood serum containing the most antibodies. It may be administered as a form of passive immunization (not a true vaccine).
proteinnoun(nutrition, uncountable) One of three major classes of food or source of food energy (4 kcal/gram) abundant in animal-derived foods (meat) and some vegetables, such as legumes.
lipid-anchored proteinLipid-anchored proteins (also known as lipid-linked proteins) are proteins located on the surface of the cell membrane that are covalently attached to lipids embedded within the cell membrane.
mucoproteinnoun(biochemistry) Any of a group of widely-distributed natural compounds that exist as complexes of proteins with mucopolysaccharides.
alpha globulinAlpha globulins are a group of globular proteins in plasma that are highly mobile in alkaline or electrically charged solutions.
albuminnoun(biochemistry) Any of a class of monomeric proteins that are soluble in water, and are coagulated by heat; they occur in egg white, milk etc; they function as carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones and play a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume.
protein aggregationIn molecular biology, protein aggregation is a phenomenon in which intrinsically-disordered or mis-folded proteins aggregate (i.e., accumulate and clump together) either intra- or extracellularly.
glycosaminoglycannoun(biochemistry) Any polysaccharide that is a polymer of amino sugars; they are the carbohydrate units of proteoglycans.
lipid raftThe plasma membranes of cells contain combinations of glycosphingolipids, cholesterol and protein receptors organised in glycolipoprotein lipid microdomains termed lipid rafts.
actinnoun(biochemistry, uncountable) A globular structural protein that polymerizes in a helical fashion to form an actin filament (or microfilament).
protein isoformA protein isoform, or "protein variant", is a member of a set of highly similar proteins that originate from a single gene and are the result of genetic differences.
chondroitin sulfate proteoglycanChondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are proteoglycans consisting of a protein core and a chondroitin sulfate side chain.
sphingolipidnoun(biochemistry) Any lipid, such as sphingomyelin, that is derived from sphingosine or one of its derivatives
intrinsic proteinnoun(biochemistry) A protein (or group of proteins) permanently attached to a biological membrane by interactions between its hydrophobic dimer units and the phospholipids of the membrane
plastoglobulenoun(biology) A globular mass of lipoprotein within a chloroplast.
conjugated proteinnoun(biochemistry) Any protein that consists of both a polypeptide (the apoprotein) and a prosthetic group such as a lipid (in lipoproteins), sugar (in glycoproteins) or porphyrins and metals (in hemoglobin etc)
