The lectin contents in some parts of plants are higher, e.g., 390 and 75 mg of the purified lectin was recovered from 100 g Remusatia vivipara tubers (Bhat et al. 2010) and Astragalus mongholicus roots (Yan et al. 2005), respectively. Lectins are also found in seeds.
The sequence of bases on the RNA forms a code for the amino acid building blocks of the protein. The word translation seems particularly appropriate for this process since the information contained in the DNA is translated from the four-character alphabet of the bases to the twenty-character alphabet of the amino acids. The construction of the proteins is carried out on the ribosomes of the host cell.
Protein Expression. The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) contains localisation and expression data for all human proteins in distinct tissues of the body. The following table provides a list of genes expressed in macrophages as annotated by the Human Protein Atlas resource.
