| creatine | <biochemistry> A compound which is made by the body and is used to store energy in the form of phosphate molecules. When phosphate molecules are attached to it, it is called creatine phosphate and is capable of donating phosphate to ADP in order to make ATP. (ATP is the molecule which is converted into ADP with a release of energy that the body then uses.) (09 Oct 1997) |

| creatine kinase | <enzyme> Dimeric enzyme (82 kD) that catalyses the formation of ATP from ADP and creatine phosphate in muscle. Acronym: CK (28 May 1998) |
| creatine kinase isoenzymes | <enzyme> Three isoenzymes of creatine kinase have been identified in human tissues: mm from skeletal muscle, mb from myocardial tissue and bb from nervous tissue. Plasma from healthy humans contains mm almost exclusively. Elevated mb creatine kinase activity is a possible indicator of myocardial injury. Registry number: EC 2.7.3.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| creatine phosphokinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that is contained in skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. Creatine phosphokinase is released into the bloodstream in increased quantities if muscle in injured. Creatine phosphokinase can be fractionated so that specific measurements can be made for blood levels of creatine phosphokinase that comes exclusively from damaged heart muscle. This makes it an important test for the laboratory diagnosis of heart attack. Acronym: CPK (28 May 1998) |
| UDPacetylglucosamine-dolichyl-phosphate acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase | <enzyme> Transfers n-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate from udp-n-acetylglucosamine to dolichyl phosphate, forming n-acetylglucosaminylpyrophosphoryldolichol Chemical name: udp-glcnac-dolichyl-phosphate glcnac-1-phosphate transerase Registry number: EC 2.7.8.15 Synonym: n-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase, dol-p-p-glcnac synthase, dolichol pathway enzyme I, udp-acetylglucosamine-dolichol phosphate acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase, glcnac-dp-1-phosphotransferase, udp-n-acetyl-d-glucosamine-dolichyl-phosphate n-acetyl-d-glucosaminephosphotransferase, dolichol-p-dependent n-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase, alg7 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| UDP-GlcNAc-undecaprenyl phosphate N-acetylglucosaminyl 1-phosphate transferase | <enzyme> Catalyses transfer of n-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate from udp-glcnac to undecaprenyl phosphate Registry number: EC 2.7.8.- Synonym: glcnac-p-p-und synthase, gpt enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetyl phosphate | CH3CO-OPO32-;a "high energy" phosphate that acts as an acetate donor in the metabolism of various bacteria. Synonym: acetic phosphoric anhydride. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acidulated phosphate fluoride | <chemical> Phosphoric acid, mixt. With sodium fluoride (naf). A sodium fluoride solution, paste or powder, which has been acidulated to pH 3 to 4 and buffered with a phosphate. It is used in the prevention of dental caries. Pharmacological action: fluorides, topical. Chemical name: Phosphoric acid, mixt. With sodium fluoride (NaF) (12 Dec 1998) |
| acyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Forms acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate; uses NADPH Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate forming 5'-AMP. A crucial step in the regulation of cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate levels. Inhibited by caffeine. Synonym: cAMP phosphodiesterase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 3'-phosphate | 3'-Adenylic acid. See: adenylic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-phosphosulfate | 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate;an intermediate in the formation of urinary ethereal sulfates, notable for containing a "high energy" sulfate bond; the 3'-OH of adenosine is replaced by -OPO3H2, the 5'-OH by -OP(O2H)-OSO3H. Synonym: active sulfate. Acronym: PAPS (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 5'-phosphate | 5'-Adenylic acid. See: adenylic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine cyclic phosphate | An activator of phosphorylase kinase and an effector of other enzymes, formed in muscle from ATP by adenylate cyclase and broken down to 5'-AMP by a phosphodiesterase; sometimes referred to as the "second messenger." A related compound (2',3') is also known. Synonym: cyclic adenylic acid, cyclic AMP, cyclic phosphate. Acronym: cAMP (05 Mar 2000) |
