Oak trees in this region were able to continue to transpire into the summer months, albeit at low rates, under very dry soil conditions and maintain basal levels of carbon metabolism, because tree roots were able to access sources of water in the soil unavailable to grass roots.
PTEN acts as a regulator of maintaining basal levels of PIP3 below a threshold for those signaling activation.
These transporters maintain basal levels of extracellular glutamate in the range of 1 2 μM and prevent over-activation of GluRs under physiological conditions.
Our data suggest a role for DPMs in maintaining basal levels of nighttime sleep indicating that they may be responsive to other types of input.
p53 is not required for maintaining basal levels of Noxa, but cooperates with oncogenic KRAS to induce Noxa expression in response to chemotherapy.
Even in the absence of drug treatment, the endogenous KLFs were critical for maintaining basal levels of the anti-apoptotic factors MCL1 and BCL-XL, and collaboratively promoted the malignant phenotype.
Corrinoids such as cobinamide must be adenosylated before they can be converted to cobalamins, and thus, the cobA gene is constitutively expressed by the cell to maintain basal levels of AdoCbl.
Because knockdown of p110α can reduce PIP 3, 4, 5 3 levels (11), and p110β may act to maintain basal levels of PIP 3,4,5 3 100), we analyzed Akt (also known as protein kinase B), an AGC kinase family members whose activation is known to be regulated by phosphoinositides (25).
The present investigation supports the hypothesis that the increased E-NTPDase activity verified in arthritic rats might be an attempt to maintain basal levels of ATP and ADP in the extracellular medium, since the arthritis induction causes tissue damage and, consequently, large amounts of ATP are released into this milieu.
A single injection maintained basal glucose levels for up to 3 months, whereas other diabetic mice needed daily injections.
