| hemolysis | <haematology> Disruption of the integrity of the red cell membrane causing release of haemoglobin. Haemolysis may be caused by bacterial haemolysins, by antibodies that cause complement dependent lysis, by placing red cells in a hypotonic solution or by defects in the red cell membrane. Origin: Gr. Lysis = dissolution (18 Nov 1997) |

| sucrose | Nonreducing disaccharide, _ D glucopyranosyl _ D fructofuranose. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sucrose alpha-d-glucohydrolase | <enzyme> An enzyme hydrolyzing sucrose and maltose; in a complex with isomaltase; hence, hydrolyzes both sucrose and isomaltose; found in the intestinal mucosa; a deficiency of this enzyme results in defective digestion of sucrose and linear a1,4-glucans. Synonym: sucrase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sucrose - fructan 6-fructosyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation and extension of beta-2,6-linked fructans, typical of grasses; from barley, hordeum vulgare; genbank x83233 Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: barley 6-sft (26 Jun 1999) |
| sucrose haemolysis test | Isotonic sucrose promotes binding of complement to red blood cells; in paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria a proportion of the cells is sensitive to complement-mediated lysis, and haemolysis ensues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sucrose permease | <chemical> Sucrose-utilizing enzyme Chemical name: permease, sucrose (26 Jun 1999) |
| sucrose-phosphate synthase phosphatase | <enzyme> A type 2a phosphoprotein phosphatase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: sps-phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| sucrose synthase | <enzyme> Sus1 gene product isolated from maise Registry number: EC 2.4.1.13 Synonym: sucrose synthetase, udp-glucose-d-fructose-2-glycosyltransferase, suc synthase 1, suc synthase1, sus1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| dietary sucrose | Sucrose present in the diet. It is added to food and drinks as a sweetener. (12 Dec 1998) |
