The lap function on the iPhone's stopwatch turns out to be handy for timing contractions.
To control distance and determine speed, participants wore a Forerunner with the lap function set to 1-km.
Ron, D. & Habener, J. F. CHOP, a novel developmentally regulated nuclear protein that dimerizes with transcription factors C/EBP and LAP and functions as a dominant-negative inhibitor of gene transcription.
We report that surface-immobilised LAP, which functions exclusively as an αvβ6-dependent ligand in keratinocyte-derived cells, promotes adhesion, migration and increased pro-MMP-9 secretion.
Because of the multiplicity of immunologic processes in which TGF-β1 plays a role, we hypothesized that LAP could function independently to modulate immune responses.
In these allegations the act was apparently performed with the pig's head resting on a colleague's lap, and functioned as a means of entry into the notorious Piers Gaveston society, supposedly posher than Bullingdon (although friends deny Cameron was ever a member of the Piers Gaveston society).
The Forerunner was set on lap speed function (400 m laps) as we have previously found this most appropriate for maintaining speed [ 10].
Currently, LAP is presumed to function only as a sequestering agent for active TGF-β1.
Recently, a genetic abnormality affecting the function of LAP was described as the underlying cause of a naturally occurring human disease called Camurati-Engelmann's disease (CED).
AM5 activates PRA, but suppresses plasma aldosterone, maintains natriuretic peptide concentrations despite falls in LAP and enhances renal function.
Finally, in recent years characterized functions of LAPs have expanded to include a range of other cellular processes (e.g., transcriptional regulation, site-specific recombination and meiosis; reviewed in [ 54]).
