n
protein found on B and especially on activated T cells
n
a cell surface glycoprotein which is typically expressed on endothelial and immune system cells, exploited by human rhinovirus as a receptor for cellular entry.
n
a homophilic binding glycoprotein expressed on the surface of neurons, glia, skeletal muscle and natural killer cells.
n
a transmembrane immunoglobulin superfamily protein, found on thymocytes and mature T cells, playing an essential role in T-cell interactions and also in T-cell/B-cell interaction during early lymphoid development

n
A protein component of human skin.
n
(biology) Initialism of luteinizing hormone. [(biochemistry) A hormone, produced by anterior part of the pituitary gland, that stimulates ovulation and the development of the corpus luteum in female mammals, and the production of androgens by male mammals.]

Note: Concept clusters like the one above are an experimental OneLook
feature. We've grouped words and phrases into thousands of clusters
based on a statistical analysis of how they are used in writing. Some
of the words and concepts may be vulgar or offensive. The names of the
clusters were written automatically and may not precisely describe
every word within the cluster; furthermore, the clusters may be
missing some entries that you'd normally associate with their
