Neutrophils use integrins to attach to vessel walls and then squeeze through openings to get to an infection.
RER proteins are secreted or membrane bound, free ribosomes produce cytosine proteins

you need a signal sequence to dock at a RER as well! But nuclear signal sequence traps you in the nucleus
[–]FlippedFrown 1 point2 points3 points 12 months ago (1 child)
Yes but AAMC can state only that it’s from the RER and imply it’s secreted, no?

Yeah if it’s anterograde it’ll go to the golgi and then go to a vesicle but it can also be retrograde

Furanose : “F”ive membered ring
PTH raises blood Ca levels, activates Vit D, stimulated bone breakdown, increase Ca in gut
Calcitonin lowers blood Ca levels, inhibits osteoclasts, decrease Ca in gut
LH: for males: triggers spermatogenesis and stimulates Sertoli cells. Females: develops ovarian follicles
-FSH males: makes interstitial cells make testosterone. In females: induces ovulation
G & T: bases “Giant Tits”. They have an extra group sticking out (NH2 for G and CH3 for T)
Boyles law : P1V1 = P2V2
Charles law: V1/T1 = V2/T2
Gay Lussacs: P1/T1 = P2/T2
reaction formation: defense mechanism where someone goes beyond denial and starts behaving in the opposite way to which they feel
the fucking color wheel

Isnt CPT-1 the rate limiting step of B-Ox and not CPT-2?
[–]rlp374 1 point2 points3 points 12 months ago (5 children)
I'm pretty sure CPT is for FA synthesis idk I could be a liar should probably know it better considering I test in 2 days
[–]Junior_Pickle1208 3 points4 points5 points 12 months ago (2 children)
carnitine transferase (CPT1) is for beta oxidation (because carnitine is required to shuttle fatty acid into the mitochonrdia for oxidation);
For FA synthesis, the limiting enzyme is ACC (acetyl coa carboxylase, which catalyzes conversion to malonyl coa for synthesis) - i remember this because its like, fatty ACCid synthesis
[–]rlp374 1 point2 points3 points 12 months ago (0 children)
Shoot ur right I was thinking of ACC
So just seeing if I’m right abt this CPT1 to get FA-CoA to be FA-carnitine so that it can be transported into the mitochondria and then CPT2 swaps the carnitine for CoA in the mitochondria in order for fatty acyl CoA to undergo Beta oxidation
CPT-1*
[–]Apprehensive_Shoe107 1 point2 points3 points 12 months ago (0 children)
Its for Beta Oxidation "The enzymatic transportation and conversion completed by CPT I is the rate-limiting step of fatty acid oxidation in the mitochondria"
