| acetaldehyde oxidase | <enzyme> Acetaldehyde is converted to acetate Registry number: EC 1.2.- (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|
| acetaldehyde | <chemical> A colourless, flammable liquid used in the manufacture of acetic acid, perfumes, and flavors. It is also an intermediate in the metabolism of alcohol. It has a general narcotic action and also causes irritation of mucous membranes. Large doses may cause death from respiratory paralysis. Chemical name: Acetaldehyde (12 Dec 1998) |

| activated acetaldehyde | The activated form of acetaldehyde that is formed during the decarboxylation of active pyruvate. Formed in alcohol fermentation and in carbohydrate metabolism. Synonym: a-hydroxyethylthiamin pyrophosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indole-3-acetaldehyde dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses nad-dependent conversion of indole-3-acetaldehyde to indole-3-acetic acid; isolated from ustilago maydis; genbank u74468 Registry number: EC 1.2.1.- Synonym: iad1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| indole-3-acetaldehyde reductase | <enzyme> Nad(p)h-dependent Registry number: EC 1.2.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| threonine acetaldehyde-lyase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of threonine to glycine and acetaldehyde; do not confuse with threonine aldolase (EC 2.1.2.1) Registry number: EC 4.1.2.5 Synonym: l-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase, d-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase, threonine aldolase (lyase) (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-CoA oxidase | <enzyme> Catalyses stoichiometric conversion of palmitoyl-CoA and o2 into 2-hexadecenoyl-CoA and h2o2; oxidises acyl-CoA's with carbon chain lengths of 4 to 20; most active toward lauroyl-CoA, but not acetyl- or succinyl-CoA Registry number: EC 1.3.3.6 Synonym: fatty acyl CoA oxidase, fatty acyl-coenzyme a oxidase, fatty acid acyl-CoA oxidase, acox, pox1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |

| alternative oxidase | <enzyme> The terminal oxidase in alternative pathway respiration, as seen in plants like sauromatum guttatum (voodoo lily); amino acid sequence for tobacco alternative oxidase (aox1) in first source Registry number: EC 1.- Synonym: aox1 gene product, aox2 gene product, aox3 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| alternative oxidase pathway | Pathway of mitochondrial electron transport in higher plants, particularly in fruits and seeds, that does not involve cytochrome oxidase and thus is resistant to cyanide. (18 Nov 1997) |
| amine oxidase | <enzyme> A group of enzymes including those oxidizing primary monoamines, diamines, and histamine. They are copper proteins, and, as their action depends on a carbonyl group, they are sensitive to inhibition by saemicarbazide.

| amine oxidase (copper-containing) | An oxidoreductase containing copper, and perhaps pyridoxal phosphate, and carrying out the same reaction as amine oxidase (flavin-containing). Synonym: amine oxidase (pyridoxal-containing), diamine oxidase, diamino oxyhydrase, histaminase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amine oxidase (flavin-containing) | An oxidoreductase containing flavin and oxidizing amines with the aid of O2 and water to aldehydes or ketones with the release of NH3 and H2O2. Acted upon by antidepressants. Synonym: adrenaline oxidase, diamine oxidase, monoamine oxidase, tyraminase, tyramine oxidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amine oxidase (pyridoxal-containing) | amine oxidase (copper-containing) |
