TREML1 is located in a gene cluster on chromosome 6 with the single Ig variable (IgV) domain activating receptors TREM1 (MIM 605085) and TREM2 (MIM 605086), but it has distinct structural and functional properties. TREML1 enhances calcium signaling in an SHP2 (PTPN11; MIM 176876)-dependent manner

Now for a word that means something Quirt
is a forked type of stock whip which usually has two falls at the end. Sometimes called a riding quirt, horse quirt, or a dog quirt.

The falls on a quirt are made of leather, buffalo, or cow hide. The core of the quirt is usually a leather bag filled with lead shot, the main part including the handle is often made from braided rawhide, leather orkangaroo hide and is usually somewhat stiff but flexible.

The old style horse quirt is still carried by some Western horsemen, and this is the style of quirt seen in the early Western cowboy films.

The quirt, due to its slow action, is not particularly effective as a riding aidfor horses, though at times it has been used as a tool of punishment. Rather, it is an effective tool to slap or goad cattle from horseback.

This weeks word is the full name for the chemical Titin

This word is the longest in the english language and is so long it takes 4.2 hours just to say I would copy and paste the word but it would just take up space. It is actually 189,184 letters long(I didn't count them) This word is so long because of the use of so many prefixes that it takes to describe it it is the most complicated and they have to make it in latin so it eventually just got longer and longer. I would have told you more but could not find enough information but for the full name go to Wikianswers and ask "What is the full chemical name for Titin?"

Titin may be the longest word but the word antidisestablishmenterrionism is the longest usable word, in case you were wondering.

This weeks word is Haptodysphoria
I first came across this word in The Unsinkable Bathroom Reader (which is an amazing series of books for a fan of random facts)

Definition: Haptodysphoria is a sensation that you get when you feel fuzzy objects, for example, peaches.

Sentence: "I am haptodysphoric." Which means, I get a strange feeling when I touch certain objects

Another more common definition is the fear of kiwis and peaches
Sentence: "I have Haptodysphoria."
Haptodysphoria usually develops when a person has an allergy to the object of a phobia of them the reactions are usually goosebumps or the person's teeth to start hurting. This condition is very common especially in people who have many allergies reactions so some think that it may just be a minor allergic reaction but this is not anything to worry about.

Hare Coursing

This weeks word is Hare Coursing

Hare coursing is the pursuit of hares with greyhounds and other sighthounds, which chase the hare by sight and not by scent. It is a competitive sport, in which dogs are tested on their ability to run, overtake and turn a hare, rather than a form of hunting aiming at the capture of game. It has a number of variations in its rules around the world. Informal coursing can be a true form of hunting. It is often conducted to kill game or vermin, mainly for food, and occasionally as a form of gambling.

The rules have many variations depending on where you go but here are the ones for the U.S. and Canada

1. Only 4 greyhounds chase the rabbit
2. It is played in an open area unlike the irish version
3. And they use only jackrabbits for the sport
