The phrase "a function analogous to" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when comparing two functions or roles that serve similar purposes in different contexts or systems.
Example: "In this study, we will explore a function analogous to the role of enzymes in biological processes."
Alternatives: "a role similar to" or "a function comparable to".
Among the fungi, spores serve a function analogous to that of seeds.
Notably, a similar coupling between the SH2-kinase linker, β2-β3 loop and SH3 domain have been noted for Src tyrosine kinase [51], [52], where the SH3 domain performs a function analogous to the C-terminal tail of EGFR [11].
Here, we explore whether male mouse songs have a function analogous to bird song.
In vertebrates, mucins are components of the intestinal mucous layer that protects the underlying epithelium and, therefore, fulfill a function analogous to the PM proteins.
In the current study, we use RNA-seq to investigate gene expression variation in Malpighian tubules, which have a function analogous to that of human kidneys.
The other pathway is an endogenous pathway in which autophagy serves a function analogous to endocytosis, transferring viral RNA from the cytoplasm to intracellular compartments containing TLR7 [ 36, 37].
It has been proposed that the Hel308 helicase, displaying homology with the metazoan PolQ/Mus308, may fulfil an function analogous to that of RecQ [ 77, 78].
109b The biological reversibility of sulfinic acid (at least in some proteins) hints at a regulatory function, analogous to a disulfide or sulfenic acid.
The idea is to develop a library of standardized genetic modules with specific functionality that can be combined to achieve a certain function, analogous to binary transistor logic libraries used by electrical engineers.
We can apply the Lagrangian technique to the resource-allocation problem in (2) by realizing that we have a utility function analogous to the shown in (3), and several resource constraint functions analogous to.
Although the physiological role of these modifications is not yet understood, its reliance on the NAD+-dependent SIRT5 suggests a metabolic function analogous to SIRT3-dependent acetylation.
