Gazelle

Gazelle, common name for small fast antelopes of tribe Antilopini (genera Gazella, Nanger, Eudorcas, Procapra); paraphyletic assemblage, Middle East origin 10-3 Mya, stotting antipredator behavior, several threatened or extinct species.

GB virus C

GB virus C (GBV-C), or human pegivirus HPgV-1, formerly hepatitis G virus, is a non-pathogenic Pegivirus flavivirus; persistent infection is linked to improved survival in HIV coinfection.

GB261

GB261 (also CN-261/CND-261) is Genor Biopharma's CD20×CD3 bispecific T-cell engager with low-affinity CD3 binding and retained Fc ADCC/CDC activity, trialed in B-cell lymphoma (NCT04923048) and out-licensed to TRC 2004/Candid Therapeutics for autoimmune disease.

GBA1

GBA1 (glucosylceramidase beta 1), chromosome 1 gene encoding lysosomal GCase; biallelic variants cause Gaucher disease, heterozygous variants are the leading genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies.

GBP1

GBP1 (guanylate-binding protein 1) is a 67 kDa interferon-inducible dynamin-superfamily GTPase that hydrolyzes GTP to GMP in two steps, coats gram-negative bacteria via LPS, recruits caspase-4 for pyroptosis, and restricts viruses including SARS-CoV-2.

GC-content

GC-content (G+C content, GC%) is the percentage of G and C bases in a genome or DNA sequence, from ~19% in Plasmodium falciparum to ~75% in Streptomyces; it governs DNA melting temperature, isochores, codon usage, and sequencing bias.

GC-WS trial

GC-WS trial (NCT02424097, GCAmerica-WS): UCSF Phase 4 randomized single-blind trial testing MI Varnish plus MI Paste Plus (CPP-ACP) versus standard fluoride care for white spot lesions in orthodontic patients; 40 enrolled, no significant benefit over 12 months.

GCF, C-terminal

GCF, C-terminal (InterPro IPR022783; Pfam PF07842, GCFC) is a conserved eukaryotic protein domain of GC-rich sequence DNA-binding factor-like proteins, of unknown function, found in pre-mRNA splicing proteins such as human GCFC2.

GCGR-related hyperglucagonemia

GCGR-related hyperglucagonemia, also called Mahvash disease, is a rare hereditary pancreatic disorder caused by mutations in the glucagon receptor gene, producing extreme hyperglucagonemia, alpha-cell hyperplasia, and neuroendocrine tumors.

GCH1

GCH1 (GTP cyclohydrolase 1, DYT5) is a chromosome 14 gene encoding the rate-limiting enzyme of tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis; heterozygous variants cause Segawa disease (dopa-responsive dystonia), biallelic variants severe deficiency, and rare variants raise Parkinson's disease risk.

GCKR

GCKR (glucokinase regulator, GKRP) is a human gene at 2p23.3 encoding the glucokinase regulatory protein that inhibits liver glucokinase; its variants rs1260326 and rs780094 raise triglycerides and NAFLD risk while lowering fasting glucose.
