Sentence examples for function of vertebrate from inspiring English sources
Krueger DD, Tuffy LP, Papadopoulos T, Brose N. The role of neurexins and neuroligins in the formation, maturation, and function of vertebrate synapses.
The function of vertebrate wings (i.e., flight) is analogous; although the wings fulfill similar functions, their role in flight has evolved separately.
In contrast to the claims of antievolutionists, what we know today about the phylogeny, comparative anatomy, development, genetics, and function of vertebrate (and other) eyes is a triumph, not a failure, of evolutionary science and of Darwin's original vision of descent with modification.
The identification of other components of snake genomes that demonstrate coordinated adaptive phenomena would provide intriguing insight into the coevolution and function of vertebrate metabolism, physiology, and ecology, and may yield unparalleled insight uniting the processes of microevolution and macroevolution.
Given that alternative splicing is shown to be important to the specificity and function of vertebrate neuroligins and neurexins [62], [63], [64], and that extensive alternative splicing exists in other honeybee neuroligins and NrxI [1], this result suggests that NLG1 has a unique role in sensory regulation.
The in situ hybridization analysis showed that puf-A was expressed in retina ganglion cells of mice, and to a lesser degree, in the pigmented cells of mice as well (see arrows in Fig. 5), suggesting that the Puf-A protein may play an important role in the function of vertebrate eyes.
Thus, aromatase activity is essential for maintaining a physiological balance between androgens and estrogens, a critical aspect in the reproductive function of vertebrates; in humans, a P450 aromatase mutation leads to sterility [ 2].
Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) has diverse effects on the functioning of vertebrate synapses.
One of the most prominent functions of vertebrate Vent transcription factors is repression of organizer-specific genes such as Goosecoid and chordin.
On the other hand, functions of vertebrate, or mainly mammalian PGRPs, are not fully understood [ 19].
Most miRNA sequences are conserved in vertebrates, indicating that the basic functions of vertebrate miRNAs share a common evolution.
