in telecommunication, a carrier wave

Carrier proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion and active transport of substances out of or into the cell (e.g. diffusion of sugars, amino acids and nucleosides, uptake of glucose, transportation of salts, glucose, amino acids, etc.).
Carrier Screening
Carrier screening is a type of genetic testing performed on people who display no symptoms for a genetic disorder but may be at risk for passing it on to their children.

Carrier (heterozygote) An individual who carries one copy of a recessive gene.
cDNA See complementary DNA.
Cell The basic structural unit of all living organisms.
carrier: A person who has one copy of the gene mutation for a recessive disorder. Carriers are not affected by the disorder. However, they can pass on the mutated gene to their children.
Carrier A person heterozygous for a recessive trait.
cDNA - Complementary DNA - DNA which has at some point in its history been made by copying RNA using the enzyme reverse transcriptase. See the Techniques lecture ...
Carrier: A healthy person who is a heterozygote for a recessive trait. Also includes persons with balanced chromosomal translocations.
Carrier
A person who has one copy of the gene mutation for a recessive disorder is called a 'carrier'. Carriers are not affected by the disorder however they can pass on the mutated gene to their children.

[L. carrier]
In recombinant DNA, a small, self-replicating DNA molecule, or a portion thereof, into which a DNA segment can be spliced and introduced into a cell; generally a plasmid or a virus.

The carrier then passes the electron to the next carrier. Because it used some energy to pump H+, it has less energy (reducing capability) to pass to the next H+ pump.

PKU, galactosemia, sickle cell, hypothyroidism; Tay-Sachs, hemoglobinopathies, cystic fibrosis. Enzyme replacement and gene therapy.
A human female "carrier" who is heterozygous for the recessive, sex-linked trait causing red-green color blindness (or alternatively, hemophilia), marries a normal male.
Heterozygous females are called "carriers" because although they show no symptoms, they pass the gene on to approximately half their sons, who develop the disease, and half their daughters, who also become carriers.
A23187 - mobile-carrier calcium ionophore (allows Ca++ ions to cross cell membranes) originally isolated as an antibiotic from Streptomyces chartreusensis. Also known as Calcimycin, Antibiotic A23187.
Carrier -- an individual heterozygous for a single recessive gene. cDNA -- complementary DNA produced from a RNA template by the action of RNA- dependent DNA polymerase.
The cowpox virus used to vaccinate against smallpox and, experimentally, as a carrier of genes for antigenic determinants cloned from other disease organisms. Variable surface glycoprotein (VSG).
Most living things use the chemical DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) as the physical carrier of inheritance and the genetic information. Some organisms, such as retroviruses (of which HIV is a member), use RNA (ribonucleic acid) as the carrier.
The electron is "boosted" to a higher energy state and attached to a primary electron acceptor, which begins a series of redox reactions, passing the electron through a series of electron carriers, ...
If sickle cell anemia is so deadly, why are so many people heterozygous carriers of the disease? Moreover, why does the disease afflict predominantly one racial group? Surpisingly, the answer has to do with malaria.
Churn costs telecom carriers a large amount of money each year, and reducing churn is an important factor in increasing profitability.
Cargo proteins moving along the secretory pathway are sorted at the TGN (trans-Golgi network) into distinct carriers for delivery to the plasma membrane or endosomes.
vector - literally 'a carrier'. An animal carrying a microorganism pathogenic for members of another species; the vector may or may not be essential for the completion of the life cycle of the pathogenic microorganism.
