| cardiac glycoside | <pharmacology> Drugs that specifically block the Na/K pump particularly of heart muscle. (05 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| glycoside | <biochemistry> Any compound that contains a carbohydrate molecule (sugar), particularly any such natural product in plants, convertible, by hydrolytic cleavage, into sugar and a nonsugar component (aglycone) and named specifically for the sugar contained, as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose) etc. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glycoside hydrolases | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 3.2.1. (12 Dec 1998) |
| N-glycoside | Misnomer for glycosyl. (05 Mar 2000) |
| furostanol glycoside 26-O-beta-glucosidase | <enzyme> From costus speciosus rhizomes; specifically cleaves the c-26-bound glucose moiety of furostanol glycosides Registry number: EC 3.2.1.- Synonym: f26g enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| 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-activated protein kinase | <enzyme> Mw 97 kD; stimulation of kinase takes place during sphingomyelin pathway; has membrane-bound activity capable of phosphorylating a peptide derived from the sequence surrounding thr(699) of the epidermal growth factor receptor; has role in signal transduction for tumour necrosis factor Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: cap kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| ceramide-activated protein phosphatase | <enzyme> Belongs to the heterotrimeric subfamily of the pp2a group of serine-threonine protein phosphatases; involved in ceramide-mediated signal transduction; inhibited by okadaic acid Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: ceramide-stimulated phosphatase, capp (enzyme) (26 Jun 1999) |
| 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) |
