No of genes in the genome
20K
the percentage of genome coding genes
1.5P
two most common forms of DNA variation
SNP and CNV
two types of actin
G-actin (globular) and F-actin (filamentous)
3 types of cytoskeleton components
actin microfilament (5-9 nm) intermediate filament (10nm) microtubules (25nm)
which cytoskeletal component vary between cell types
intermediate filament
vimentin is seen in mesenchymal cells eg.
fibroblasts or endothelium
Desmin where and function
muscle, form a scaffold for actin and myosin interaction
neurofilament and glial fibrillary acidic protein are
IF
two types of CK
type I (acidic) and II (basic)
CK is a - filament
IF
three types of cell cell interactions
occluding, anchoring and communicating
occluding cell junction aka
tight
anchoring jn aka
desmosomes (hemidesmosomes if connecting to BM)
communicating junction aka
gap
diff between cadherin and integrin
cadherin desmosome and integrin hemidesmosome
basement membrane is consists of
type IV collagen and laminin
3 types of ECM components
structural proteins (collagen, elastin) water hydrated gels (proteoglycan, hyaluronan) adhesive glycoproteins (laminin, integrin)
