Meanings of glucan in English

Results: β-glucan was barely detectable in serum of volunteers at all time-points.

This work has identified regions associated with glucan binding, toxin activity, and immunity.

They are released from starch granules by the glucan hydrolases alpha-amylase and isoamylase.

This is the first report on the isolation of a neutral beta-D-glucan from dates.

The physical basis for the function of SEX4 as a glucan phosphatase is currently unclear.

Instead we identify two additional glucan binding sites located within the core LSF2 phosphatase domain.

Our gene expression findings suggest that LLCs and macrophages are stimulated following β glucan exposure.

Consistent with this hypothesis, we found S. mutans strains defective in glucan production were more acid sensitive.

These results indicate that the key factors in the responsiveness to beta-glucan are GM-CSF production and dectin-1 expression.

A gas1 mutant with an expected defect in glucan elongation showed a large increase in the polydisperse fraction.

And 80 per cent contained traces of glucan, which is found in the cell walls of most fungi.

Levels of a starch called beta-glucan go up, making the sugar-water that gets fermented into beer too gloppy.

Subjects in the β-glucan group ingested β-glucan 1000 mg once daily for 7 days.

These results indicate that human PGN and 1,3-beta-D-glucan recognition proteins function as complement-activating lectins.

Echinocandins target fungal beta-1,3 glucan synthesis and are used clinically to treat invasive aspergillosis.

Global transcriptomics revealed proton accumulation triggers the up-regulation of genes encoding functions involved in acid tolerance response in a glucan-dependent manner.
