The phrase "are functionally implicated in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to indicate that something plays a role or has a function in a particular process or situation.
Example: "The genes identified in the study are functionally implicated in the development of the disease."
Alternatives: "are functionally involved in" or "play a role in".
Identifying targets of LDEs is critical to understand how such modifications are functionally implicated in oxidative-stress associated diseases.
Our results identify kinase and phosphatase genes that are functionally implicated in the molecular processes in which the exocyst complex is known to operate.
Hydroxyl-L-proline and L-threonine are building blocks of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (also called extensins), which are present in the primary cell wall of monocots [ 39] and are functionally implicated in cell wall extension and peroxidase-mediated cell wall fortification [ 39].
The finding is also interesting in light of work showing that adults with autism have atypical brain structure (increased grey matter) in the same left prefrontal regions that are functionally implicated in joint attention in healthy adults (Waiter et al. 2004; Williams et al. 2005).
Background & Aims: Carbonic anhydrase (CA) IX is a highly active enzyme with adhesion capacity that is functionally implicated in acid-base balance and intercellular communication.
The latter finding suggests that ERCC6 may be functionally implicated in the aetiology of AMD.
In addition to FliS, TP0046 and TP0048 have also been functionally implicated in bacterial motility and the ortholog of TP0945 shows a motility phenotype in E. coli [14].
sLex not only is a marker for cancer but also is functionally implicated in the malignant behaviour of cancer cells [14], [15].
Septins belong to the GTPase superclass of proteins and have been functionally implicated in cytokinesis and the maintenance of cellular morphology.
This is consistent with our previous observations that GPNMB/OA is also overexpressed in human breast tumors, and suggests that GPNMB/OA may be functionally implicated in regulating tumor growth in addition to promoting invasion and metastasis [18], [19].
To determine whether PP-induced c-Fos activation in α-MSH-immunoreactive neurons and up-regulation of POMC mRNA levels in the ARC in response to PP is functionally implicated in the anorectic effect of PP, we investigated PP-induced food intake in mice deficient in the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), the receptor via which α-MSH induces its anorexigenic effects [43].
