What Does ALS Stand For?
ALS stands for Acid Labile Subunit
ALS, or Acid Labile Subunit, refers to a component of certain protein complexes that is sensitive to acidic environments, leading to its degradation or inactivation. In biochemical research, ALS is often studied in the context of its role in various cellular processes, including signal transduction and control of gene expression. Its stability and functionality can be significantly influenced by pH levels, making it a critical factor in understanding the behavior of associated biomolecules in different physiological conditions.
