| indoxyl esterase | <enzyme> Reagent-strip leukocyte esterase (lce) tests for this activity Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: leukocyte indoxyl esterase, leukocyte esterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| carbonic acid | <chemical> Carbonic acid (h2c03). The hypothetical acid of carbon dioxide and water. It exists only in the form of its salts (carbonates), acid salts (hydrogen carbonates), amines (carbamic acid), and acid chlorides (carbonyl chloride). Chemical name: Carbonic acid (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbonic acid gas | <biochemistry, physiology> A metabolic byproduct of carbohydrate metabolism. Carbon Dioxide collects in the tissues, is cleared by the blood (via the veins) and removed from the body via the lungs when we exhale air. Abbreviation: CO2 (13 Nov 1997) |
| carbonic acid inhibitor | <pharmacology> A group of diuretic medications which act to inhibit the enzyme carbonic anhydrase to create a metabolic acidosis. Many of these medications are used in the treatment of glaucoma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| acid cholesterol ester synthetase | <enzyme> Aortal enzyme, does not require exogenous ATP or CoA; reverse reaction of cholesterol esterase Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: cholesterol ester synthetase (26 Jun 1999) |
| aklanonic acid methyl ester cyclase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of aklaviketone from aklanonic acid methyl ester; involved in daunomycin biosynthesis; see also daunorubicin-doxorubicin polyketide synthase Registry number: EC 5.- Synonym: aame cyclase, daud protein, daud gene product, dnrd protein, dnrd gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| carboxylic acid ester | Specifically, an ester derived from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol; R-CO-R' (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty acid 2-chloroethyl ester synthase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of 2-chloroethyl esters of long-chain fatty acids; localised in the microsomal fraction of rat liver Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: facees, 2-chloroethyl ester synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| carbonic | Relating to carbon. See also under carbonate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome | <syndrome> An inherited deficiency of carbonic anhydrase II that results in osteopetrosis and metabolic acidosis. Synonym: osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbonic anhydrase inhibitor | <pharmacology> A group of medications (sulphonamide drugs) which inhibit the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. These medications are used in the treatment of glaucoma. Examples include acetazolamide, dichlorphenamide and methazolamide. (27 Sep 1997) |
| carbonic anhydrase inhibitors | A class of compounds that reduces the secretion of h+ ions by the proximal kidney tubule through inhibition of carbonic anhydrase (carbonate dehydratase). Although their therapeutic use as diuretics is not frequent, they are used in clinical conditions where alkalinization of the urine is beneficial. Their most frequent application is in the reduction of intra-ocular pressure in the treatment of glaucoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbonic anhydride | <biochemistry, physiology> A metabolic byproduct of carbohydrate metabolism. Carbon Dioxide collects in the tissues, is cleared by the blood (via the veins) and removed from the body via the lungs when we exhale air. Abbreviation: CO2 (13 Nov 1997) |
| carboxylic ester hydrolases | <enzyme> Enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of carboxylic acid esters with the formation of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid anion. Registry number: EC 3.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
