TRAP
Encyclopedia
TRAP is an abbreviation that may refer to:
- Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, a metalloenzyme involved in bone formation.
- Translocon-associated protein
- Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol, a method for detecting telomeraseTelomeraseTelomerase is an enzyme that adds DNA sequence repeats to the 3' end of DNA strands in the telomere regions, which are found at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. This region of repeated nucleotide called telomeres contains non-coding DNA material and prevents constant loss of important DNA from...
activity. - TNF-related activation protein, also known as CD40 ligand.
- Thyroid Hormone Receptor-associated ProteinsMediator (coactivator)Mediator is a multiprotein complex that functions as a transcriptional coactivator. It was discovered by Roger D. Kornberg, winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry...
, a transcriptional coactivatorCoactivator (genetics)A coactivator is a protein that increases gene expression by binding to an activator which contains a DNA binding domain. The coactivator is unable to bind DNA by itself....
. - Tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic transporterTripartite ATP-independent periplasmic transporterTripartite ATP-independent periplasmic transporters are a large family of solute transporters found in bacteria and archaea, but not in eukaryotes, that appear to be specific for the uptake of organic acids...
, a family of prokaryotic solute transporters. - trp RNA-binding attenuation proteinAttenuator (genetics)Attenuation is a regulatory feature found throughout Archaea and Bacteria causing premature termination of transcription. Attenuators are 5'-cis acting regulatory regions which fold into one of two alternative RNA structures which determine the success of transcription...
, a RNA-binding protein regulating the biosynthetis of tryptophan - TRAP (processor instruction)TRAP (processor instruction)TRAP is an instruction command in the LC-3 assembly language that consists of a set of basic service routines to simplify operations. Each service routine created with a combination of other basic operations in the LC-3 instructions set...
