| ceraceous | Waxen. Origin: L. Cera, wax (05 Mar 2000) |
| ceramics | Products made by baking or firing nonmetallic minerals (clay and similar materials). In making dental restorations or parts of restorations the material is fused porcelain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ceramidase | <enzyme> An enzyme that hydrolyzes ceramides into sphingosine and a fatty acid. A deficiency of this enzyme is associated with Farber's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ceramide | <chemical> An N acyl sphingosine, the lipid moiety of glycosphingolipids. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ceramide 1-phosphorylcholine | <biochemistry> A sphingolipid in which the head group is phosphoryl choline. A close analogue of phosphatidylcholine. In many cells the concentration of sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine in the plasma membrane seems to bear a reciprocal relationship. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ceramide cholinephosphotransferase | <enzyme> Do not confuse with phosphatidylcholine-ceramide phosphotransferase which is also called sphingomyelin synthase Registry number: EC 2.7.8.3 Synonym: sphingomyelin synthetase, phosphorylcholine-ceramide transferase, cdpcholine-n-acylsphingosine cholinephosphotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| ceramide dihexoside | The accumulated glycolipid noted in glycolipid lipidosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ceramide glycanase | <enzyme> Glycosphingolipid splitting enzyme from leech; cleaves linkage between oligosaccharide and ceramide Registry number: EC 3.2.1.- Synonym: cer glycanase (26 Jun 1999) |
| ceramide kinase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of ceramide to ceramide 1-phosphate; calcium dependent Registry number: EC 2.7.1.138 (26 Jun 1999) |
| ceramide lactosidase | A hydrolytic enzyme (a beta-galactosidase) that acts on ceramide lactoside, producing glucosylceramide and galactose. A deficiency of this enzyme can result in ceramide lactoside liposis. Compare: cytolipin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ceramide lactoside | A lactosylceramide that accumulates in individuals with ceremide lactoside liposis. Compare: cytolipin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ceramide lactoside lipidosis | An inherited disorder associated with an accumulation of ceramide lactoside due to a deficiency of ceramide lactosidase; results in progressive brain damage with liver and spleen enlargement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ceramide saccharide | <biochemistry> Ceramide derivatives containing more than one sugar residue. If sialic acid is present these are called gangliosides. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ceramide trihexosidase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of a ceramidetrihexoside to a ceramidedihexoside plus galactose. Chemical name: D-Galactosyl-D-galactosyl-D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine galactohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.2.1.47 (12 Dec 1998) |
| UDP-GlcNAc-Gb(5)Cer beta1-6N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase | <enzyme> From mouse kidney; transfers glcnac to the c-6 position of galnac of gl-x (gb5cer) Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: gb(5)cer 1-6 glcnac transferase, udp-glcnac-gl-x beta1-6n-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, udp-glcnac-iv(3)beta-gal-gb(4)cer beta-1,6-glcnac transferase, gnt transferase (26 Jun 1999) |
