Mr. Ford, the first person to hold the position in Northern Ireland in 40 years, takes over a wide array of functions previously controlled by Britain's Northern Ireland Office, including responsibility for the police, the prison service and the prosecution service.
Molecules with a wide array of functions are typically evolutionarily conserved, meaning that organisms evolved to produce them early on and then passed it down to all future organisms.
A wide array of functions has previously been assigned to this molecule including the regulation of inflammation [17], [20], apoptosis [21], [22], chemotaxis [23], and cell adhesion [24].
We find it intriguing that a primarily metabolic protein like MISC-1/OGC plays roles in such a wide array of functions.
We observed that some small molecules perturb a wide array of functions, while others have a specific target pathway.
However, it is still uncertain when their expansion occurred and how a wide array of functions arose during their evolution.
Candidate genes for local selection constituted a wide array of functions, including calcium signalling, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and circadian rhythm.
Ideally, sperm function tests should incorporate a wide array of functions in a single assay; however, evidence published to date indicates an apparent dominance of HZA in the context of clinical significance.
Prolactin is a pituitary hormone with a wide array of functions in different species, and it has a pivotal role in the reproduction-related physiological and pathophysiological conditions in mammals.
It is the most abundant ion in plant cells and is required for a wide array of functions, such as maintenance of electrical potential gradients across cell membranes, generation of turgor, and activation of numerous enzymes [ 16].
Platelets are a rich source of serotonin (5-hydroxitrpitamine (5-HT)) [ 9] – a powerful mediator with a wide array of functions, ranging from vasoconstriction in damaged vessels [ 10], mitogenesis of vascular smooth muscle cells [ 11] and fibroblasts [ 12], to the activation of platelets themselves [ 13, 14].
