Chaine peptidique d'une vingtaine d'acides aminés synthétisée au début de la traduction d'un ARN messager, destinée à être détachée de la protéine correspondante après son passage dans la citerne du réticulum endoplasmique et qui constitue un signal pour la machinerie cellulaire indiquant que cette protéine est destinée à l'exportation. 2, record 1, French, - peptide%20signal
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cette séquence riche en acides aminés hydrophobes permet à la protéine de traverser la membrane du réticulum et sert de peptide d'adressage. De telles séquences sont spécifiques des protéines qui doivent être sécrétées ou insérées dans les membranes cellulaires. 2, record 1, French, - peptide%20signal
