  2. Nuclear DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_DNA

    Nuclear DNA is a nucleic acid, a polymeric biomolecule or biopolymer, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.Its structure is a double helix, with two strands wound around each other, a structure first described by Francis Crick and James D. Watson (1953) using data collected by Rosalind Franklin.

  3. Beta cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_cell

    The function of beta cells is primarily centered around the synthesis and secretion of hormones, particularly insulin and amylin.Both hormones work to keep blood glucose levels within a narrow, healthy range by different mechanisms. [4]

    In turn, they send and express that information inside and outside the cell nucleus. From the inner workings of the cell to the young of a living thing, they contain and provide information via the nucleic acid sequence. This gives the RNA and DNA their unmistakable 'ladder-step' order of nucleotides within their molecules.

  5. Cell nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus

    The cell nucleus (from Latin nucleus or nuculeus 'kernel, seed'; pl.: nuclei) is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells usually have a single nucleus, but a few cell types, such as mammalian red blood cells , have no nuclei , and a few others including osteoclasts have many .

  6. Hunger (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_(physiology)

    The set point theories of hunger and eating are a group of theories developed in the 1940s and 1950s that operate under the assumption that hunger is the result of an energy deficit and that eating is a means by which energy resources are returned to their optimal level, or energy set point. According to this assumption, a person's energy ...

  7. Ran (protein) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ran_(protein)

    Ran (RAs-related Nuclear protein) also known as GTP-binding nuclear protein Ran is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAN gene.Ran is a small 25 kDa protein that is involved in transport into and out of the cell nucleus during interphase and also involved in mitosis.

  8. Nuclear transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_transport

    Nuclear export roughly reverses the import process; in the nucleus, the exportin binds the cargo and Ran-GTP and diffuses through the pore to the cytoplasm, where the complex dissociates. Ran-GTP binds GAP and hydrolyzes GTP, and the resulting Ran-GDP complex is restored to the nucleus where it exchanges its bound ligand for GTP.

  9. Nucleoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleoplasm

    The protoplasmic material of the nucleus including the nucleolus labelled as nucleoplasm. The nucleoplasm, also known as karyoplasm, [1] is the type of protoplasm that makes up the cell nucleus, the most prominent organelle of the eukaryotic cell. It is enclosed by the nuclear envelope, also known as the nuclear membrane. [2]
