The full name of EHBP1 is "EH domain binding protein 1." The symbol for the gene is EHBP1. Other names for the EHBP1 gene are HPC12, NASCIN, and KIAA0903. EH Domain Binding Protein 1 is a protein coding gene. This gene codes for an Eps15 homology domain binding protein. Its protein type is a vesicle. The encoded protein may play a role in endocytic trafficking. It is associated with prostate cancer. This gene is commonly found within the cytosol and the plasma membrane of a cell. It's size is…

Duchene Muscular Dystrophy is an inherited neuromuscular disorder of childhood which primarily affects boys characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting due to a mutation in the dystrophin gene of X chromosome. Degeneration of muscles usually begins to appear in the lower half of the body then spreading into upper limbs and eventually leading to death. Between 1830 and 1850 scientists reported on an illness where boys grew gradually weaker, lost the ability to walk and died at an…

Movement of cells are important since some cells depends on movement to carry out its major function. For example, sperm cells need to move from one place to another place to carry out reproduction. Movement of cells are supported by cytoskeleton system of the cells. The cyctoskeleton system are composed of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments. However, for unicellular organisms such as Paramecium, the movement of cells are regulated through cilia or flagella. Cilia can be…

• Extrinsic proteins which provide two functions, those situated on the outer layer “attach to carbohydrate chains to form glycoproteins which act as the chemical receptors of the cell”, while those situated on the inner surface attach to the cytoskeleton, working as an anchor to hold the membrane in place” (kent, 2000, p.67) For the remaining investigation into the cell makeup, I am going to focus on a specialized cell. The specialized cell I have chosen to focus on is a nerve cell within the…

Lens Fiber Differentiation and its effects on certain organelles. This writing exercise analyzes two separate but related scientific articles, “The fate of the Golgi Apparatus and the Endoplasmic reticulum During Lens Fiber Cell Differentiation” and “Coincident Loss of Mitochondria and Nuclei During Lens Fiber Cell Differentiation” both which analyze and study Lens Fiber Differentiation. The writing assignment will be based on four sections:(1) Background of the research (2) Methods used…

It controls the pH level, or acidity, of the cell. The Cytoskeleton gives the cell its basic shape. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a series of connected channels. It is separated into two parts, the rough and the smooth. The smooth ER is vital in lipid synthesis and the rough ER is involved with protein synthesis…

Sally the Cell Cells are constantly going through the cell cycle to duplicate themselves. The cell cycle consists of many different stages. Some stages take more time to complete than others. The phases of the cell cycle are gap phase 1 (G1), synthesis (S), gap phase 2 (G2), prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. G1, S, and G2 make up interphase, while mitosis and cytokinesis make up the M phase. I, Sally the cell, am going to tell you about my journey in the…

The function of Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cell components by FATIMA MOHIDIN Eukaryotic Cell Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and have membrane bound organelles they are multicellular cells and undertake reproduction by the process cell division known as meiosis and mitosis. There are 2 types of eukaryotic cell: plant and animal cells. They contain organelles such ribosomes, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, nucleolus, centrioles, cell membrane,…

Introduction to Cell Biology – Unit 10193 – Chloe Barrett This essay discusses the difference in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, two types of specialised eukaryotic cell, and the relation of the structure of cell membranes to their function of moving substances in and out of cells. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells are two very different, but also very similar cells. There are many differences between them that can help to associate between each one. Eukaryotes are any organism that…
