Medical Definition of Immediate-early proteins
1. Proteins that are coded by immediate-early genes, in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. The term was originally used exclusively for viral regulatory proteins that were synthesised just after viral integration into the host cell. It is also used to describe cellular proteins which are synthesised immediately after the resting cell is stimulated by extracellular signals. (12 Dec 1998)
