Cavin

Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. isim A hollow route, adapted to cover troops and facilitate their approach to a place.

   “These posts are sometimes covered by a rideau, or rising ground, or else by a cavin, or deep valley, which saves the trouble of fortifying them with parapets, fascines, gabions, barrels, or bags of earth.”

2. isim A type of protein that is involved in forming the caveola of many vertebrate cells.

   “The observation that lipid rafts and caveolae were highly enriched in PS in the cytoplasmic leaflet of the membrane (Pike et al. 2002) nicely dovetails with recent findings that all cavin proteins that are required for caveola biogenesis bind PS.”

3. özel isim A surname.
