Human CD80 (B7-1) is a costimulatory ligand for CD28 and CTLA-4(1). CD80 is expressed on activated B cells (2).
Molecular Structure: A soluble dimeric fusion protein consisting of the extracellular (216aa) domain of human CD80 fused to murine IgG2a Fc + hinge. :

硝酸根从根向地上部茎的长距离运输过程中首先要进行木质部的装载。台湾科学家发现NRT1.5是一个低亲和且依赖于pH的双向转运蛋白,位于质膜并在靠近木质部的中柱鞘细胞中表达,对于硝酸根在木质部的装载具有重要作用。
所以NRT1.5是双向性的转运蛋白
代谢通路:目前在通路数据库(PATHWAY database) 中代谢通路是建立得最好的,有大约90个参考代谢途径的图形。每个参考代谢途径是一个由酶或EC号组成的网络。
