Sentence examples for mediates the conversion from inspiring English sources
Autotaxin is a secreted lysophospholipase that mediates the conversion of lysophosphatidyl choline (LPC) to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive lipid mediator.
β-carotene ketolase (crtW genes) converts β-carotene to canthaxanthin, with echinenone as an intermediary step; whereas β-carotene hydroxylase (crtZ genes) mediates the conversion of β-carotene to zeaxanthin, via β-cryptoxanthin.
Furthermore, TSP1, another ligand for LRP1 and a TGFβ target gene [23], directly mediates the conversion of latent TGFβ to the active form [24], [25] and TSP1 binding to an LRP1/calreticulin complex regulates cell adhesion [26].
