Pma1 stabilization in the Golgi protein 1
Psg1 (YKL077W, PMA1 stabilization in the Golgi protein 1) is a yeast Golgi/ER protein, cleaved by Kex2 into PSG1-N' and PSG1-C', that stabilizes the Pma1 proton ATPase; unrelated to human PSG1.
PMAIP1
PMAIP1, also called NOXA or APR, is a human gene on 18q21.32 encoding a 54-aa BH3-only pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family protein induced by p53 and other stress factors; it binds MCL1 and is a cancer prognostic biomarker.

PML nuclear bodies
PML nuclear bodies (ND10) are membrane-less nuclear organelles built by the PML tumor suppressor protein, 0.2–1.0 µm foci with a PML shell and protein core, disrupted in acute promyelocytic leukemia and responsive to interferon, oxidative stress, and arsenic trioxide.
PMM2-CDG
PMM2-CDG, also known as Jaeken syndrome, is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by deficient phosphomannomutase 2, accounting for about 60% of congenital disorders of glycosylation.
PMMA depolymerization to monomer
PMMA depolymerization to monomer is the chemical recycling process that breaks poly(methyl methacrylate), the transparent plastic sold as Perspex and Plexiglass, back into its monomer, methyl methacrylate, for reuse.
PMMA resist
PMMA resist is poly(methyl methacrylate) dissolved in a solvent such as anisole, a positive-tone electron-beam resist in which exposure breaks the polymer backbone so exposed areas dissolve away.
