Signal peptide — A signal peptide is a short (3 60 amino acids long) peptide chain that directs the post translational transport of a protein. Signal peptides may also be called targeting signals, signal sequences, transit peptides, or localization signals. The… … Wikipedia
signal recognition particle-receptor — Receptor for the signal recognition particle (SRP) found in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Also known as docking protein. Heterodimeric, both protomers having GTP binding capacity, though dissimilar binding sites. Not until the… … Dictionary of molecular biology
Gene expression — For vocabulary, see Glossary of gene expression terms. For a non technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to genetics. Genes are expressed by being transcribed into RNA, and this transcript may then be translated into protein. Gene… … Wikipedia
