5-alpha reductase is an enzyme (EC 1.3.99.5) that converts testosterone, the male sex hormone, into dihydrotestosterone. There are two isoenzymes, steroid 5-alpha reductase 1 and 2 (SRD5A1 and SRD5A2). The second isoenzyme is deficient in 5-alpha-reductase deficiency which leads to a form of intersexualism. 5-alpha reductase - Genetics. SRD5A1 is located on chromosome 5p15, while SRD5A2 is located on 2p23. 5-alpha reductase - Pharmacology. Finasteride inhibits the ...

In the field of neurochemistry, 5-HT receptors are receptors for the neurotransmitter and peripheral signal mediator serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT. 5-HT receptors are located on the cell membrane of nerve cells and other cell types in animals and mediate the effects of serotonin as the endogenous ligand and of a broad range of pharmaceutical and hallucinogenic drugs. With the exception of the 5-HT3 receptor, a ligand gated ion channel, all other 5-HT receptors are G_protein coupled seven transmembrane ...

555 "5" 95472 is a character in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles Schulz. He debuted in 1963, and continued to appear on and off until 1981. 5 has spiky hair and sometimes wears a shirt with the number five on it. 95472 is the family's "last name" (actually their ZIP code, which in real life corresponds to the ZIP code for Sebastopol, California). 5 has to keep telling his schoolteacher that the accent is on the 2, not the 4. As 5 once explained to Charlie Brown, his father, morose and hysterical over the preponderance ...

The 5' cap is found on the 5' end of an mRNA molecule and consists of a guanosine nucleotide connected to the mRNA via an unusual 5' to 5' triphosphate linkage. Further modifications include the methylation of the guanosine, and the possible methylation of the 2' carbons of the first 3 ribose sugars of the 5' end of the mRNA. The methylation of both 2' carbons is shown on the diagram. Functionally the 5' cap looks like the 3' end of an RNA molecule (the 5' carbon of the cap ribose is bonded, and the 3' unbonded). This provides ...

The required enzymes for capping are found bound to the RNA polymerase II before transcription starts. As soon as the 5' end of the new transcript emerges the enzymes transfer to it and begin the capping process (this is a similar kind of mechanism to ensure capping as for polyadenylation). The enzymes for capping can only bind to RNA polymerase II ensuring specificity to only these transcripts, which are almost entirely mRNA. ...

The 5' cap has 4 main functions: Regulation of nuclear export. Prevention of degradation by exonucleases. Promotion of translation (see ribosome and translation). Promotion of 5' proximal intron excision. Nuclear export of RNA is regulated by the CBC (Cap Binding Complex) which binds exclusively to capped RNA. The CBC is then recognised by the nuclear pore complex and exported. Degradation of the mRNA by 5' exonucleases is prevented (as mentioned above) by functionally looking like a 3' end. This increases the half life of the mRNA, essential in eukaryotes as ...

The third member of the Witches 5, she is named for the mineral tellurite. Tellu is voiced by Chieko Honda in Japanese, Kirsten Bishop in English (Telulu), Norma Echeverria in Spanish, and Donatella Fanfani in Italian. After Tellu got Mimete out of the way, she was assigned the task of gathering heart crystals, which she does so by opening a flower shop and giving away beautiful plants that would later wrestle heart crystals out of their owners. Tellu would then capture the ...

Named Viruit in English. Voiced by Susan Aceron in the dub. She is the 4th member of the Witches 5 and a notorious flirt with the professor (enraging Kaolinite in the process), she is named for the mineral viluite. Viluy was handed the task of gathering heart crystals after Tellu's demise. Towards this goal, she has programmed all the computers at a middle school academy such that all users of the computers will have their heart crystals extracted from them. Additionally she possessed the "mosaic buster" attack which releases a flurry of nano-robots from her wristband that will dissolve its victim ...

Eudial is the first and possibly the leader of the Witches 5. Eudialyte is her namesake. Seiyuu Maria Kawamura provides her voice for the original Japanese production. Canadian actress Loretta Jafelice does her voice for the English adaptation. Nancy McKenzie plays her in the Spanish version. Eudial seems to be the oldest of the group, and is much resented by the others—particularly Mimete—because Professor Tomoe seems to favor her. She uses her computer to track down potential Talisman holders, and takes bio-engineered monsters (Daimon) with her to remo ...

Mimete is the second of the group. She is named after the mineral mimetite. Voice work for the character is provided by seiyuu Mika Kanai in the Japanese. Susan Aceron plays the character in English[1], Pilar Escandon in Spanish and Melanie Jung in German. After Eudial's untimely death and loss of the talismans, Mimete was assigned to collect pure hearts (which will be used to power-up Mistress 9). Using daimons and her attack Charm Buster (a staff which emits headache-causing beams), Mimete is a bit of a ditz and usually went after celebrities. Mimete made multiple attempts to collect pure hearts from humans--all of ...
