endogenous

Examples of endogenous in the following topics:

• Double-Stranded RNA Viruses: Retroviruses

  • A special variant of retroviruses are endogenous retroviruses, which are integrated into the genome of the host and inherited across generations.
  • Endogenous retroviruses are a type of transposon.

• Host Risk Factors

  • Risk of infection is a nursing diagnosis which is defined as "the state in which an individual is at risk to be invaded by an opportunistic or pathogenic agent (virus, fungus, bacteria, protozoa, or other parasite) from endogenous or exogenous sources. " The risk of infection depends on a number of endogenous sources.

• Antimicrobial Peptides

  • In contrast to the clonal, acquired adaptive immunity, endogenous peptide antibiotics or antimicrobial peptides provide a fast and energy-effective mechanism as front-line defense.

• Antisense Agents

  • This DNA-RNA coupling attracts an endogenous nuclease, RNase H that destroys the bound RNA and frees the DNA antisense to rehybridize with another copy of mRNA.

• Fermentation Without Substrate-Level Phosphorylation

  • Fermentation is the process of extracting energy from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, using an endogenous electron acceptor, which is usually an organic compound.

• Applications of Genetic Engineering

  • Gene targeting is a different technique that uses homologous recombination to change an endogenous gene, and can be used to delete a gene, remove exons, add a gene, or introduce point mutations.

• Retroviruses and Hepadnavirus

  • A special variant of retroviruses are endogenous retroviruses , which are integrated into the genome of the host and inherited across generations.

• Prions

  • The endogenous, properly-folded form is denoted PrPC (for Common or Cellular) while the disease-linked, misfolded form is denoted PrPSc (for Scrapie, after one of the diseases first linked to prions and neurodegeneration. ) The precise structure of the prion is not known, though they can be formed by combining PrPC, polyadenylic acid, and lipids in a Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification (PMCA) reaction.

• Overview of Bacterial Viruses

  • The virus remains dormant until host conditions deteriorate, perhaps due to depletion of nutrients; then, the endogenous phages (known as prophages) become active.

• Metabolomics

  • In contrast, in human-based metabolomics it is more common to describe metabolites as being either endogenous (produced by the host organism) or exogenous.
