| acidic amino acid | An Amino acid with a second acid moiety, e.g., glutamic acid, aspartic acid, cysteic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acidic anhydride | <chemistry> A substance (such as the oxide of a nonmetallic element) that will react with water to form an acid. (09 Oct 1997) |
| acidic dyes | Dye's which ionise in solution to produce negatively charged ions or anions; they consist of sodium salts of phenols and carboxylic acid dyes; their solutions tend to be neutral or slightly alkaline; examples are eosin and aniline blue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glial fibrillary acidic protein | <protein> This protein, found in microfilaments of glial cells, helps distinguish glial from nonglial tumours. A laboratory stain is used to test for its presence. (16 Dec 1997) |
| Myxococcus acidic endoprotease | <enzyme> From myxococcus xanthus; cleaves phe-met bond of kappa-casein at pH 5.9; 12 kD; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: maep (26 Jun 1999) |
| fibroblast growth factor, acidic | <chemical> A growth factor which has been isolated from a variety of cells. It contains 154 amino acid residues and has potent heparin-binding activity. Heparin potentiates the biological activities of afgf. The growth factor is an extremely potent inducer of DNA synthesis in a variety of normal diploid mammalian cell types from mesoderm and neuroectoderm lineages and also has chemotactic and mitogenic activities. Chemical name: Fibroblast growth factor (human brain acidic protein moiety reduced) (12 Dec 1998) |
| gamma-glutamyl dipeptidase | <enzyme> Removes glycine from leukotriene d4 to form leukotriene e4 Registry number: EC 3.4.13.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycylprolyl dipeptidase | <enzyme> From b gingivalis; cleaves gly-pro dipeptides from native, partially digested type I collagen; a serine protease Registry number: EC 3.4.14.- Synonym: glycylprolyl protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| membrane dipeptidase | <enzyme> Renal dipeptidase which metabolises thienamycin and related carbapenem antibiotic Registry number: EC 3.4.13.19 Synonym: dehydropeptidase-i, dehydropeptidase I, microsomal dipeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| peptidyl-dipeptidase A | <enzyme> A hydrolase cleaving C-terminal dipeptides from a variety of substrates, including angiotensin I, which is converted to angiotensin II and histidylleucine. An important step in the metabolism of certain vasopressor agents. It is a chloride-dependent, zinc glycoprotein that is generally membrane-bound and active at neutral pH. Only single dipeptides are released from angiotensin I and bradykinin because of the lack of activity on bonds involving proline. It may also have endopeptidase activity on some substrates. Registry number: EC 3.4.15.1 Synonym: carboxycathepsin, dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase, kinase II, peptidase P. (22 Sep 2002) |
| Met-enkephalin heptapeptide dipeptidase | <enzyme> Enzyme from rabbit ear artery forms met-enkephalin from met(5)-enkephalin-arg(6)-phe(7); inhibited by captopril Registry number: EC 3.4.15.- Synonym: met-enkephalin-arg(6)-phe(7) cleavage enzyme, me-ap dipeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| methionyl dipeptidase | A hydrolase catalyzing the hydrolysis of an l-methionyl-amino acid to l-methionine and an amino acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytosol non-specific dipeptidase | <enzyme> Also referred to as peptidase a (see synonym to penicillopepsin, EC 3.4.23.20) Registry number: EC 3.4.13.- Synonym: glycyl-l-leucine hydrolase, glycylleucine dipeptidase, gly-leu dipeptide peptidase, dipeptide hydrolase, glycyl-leucine dipeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| proline dipeptidase | <enzyme> An enzyme cleaving aminoacyl-l-proline bonds in dipeptides containing a C-terminal prolyl residue; a deficiency of this enzyme results in hyperimidodipeptiduria. Synonym: imidodipeptidase, peptidase D, prolidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
