| glycopeptide alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase | <enzyme> Hydrolyzes terminal d-galactosyl-n-acetyl-alpha-d-galactosaminide residues from glycopeptides and glycoproteins linked by serine or threonine residues Registry number: EC 3.2.1.97 Synonym: o-glycanase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycoprotein endo-alpha-1,3-mannosidase | <enzyme> An endomannosidase; cleaves glucosyl alpha1-3-mannose from monoglucosylated oligosaccharide (glcman(7-9)glcnac) of the glycoprotein produced in the golgi membrane Registry number: EC 3.2.1.130 Synonym: glucosyl mannosidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycoprotein hormones, alpha subunit | A non-covalently bound subunit of the glycoprotein hormones tsh, fsh, lh, and hcg which originates in the anterior pituitary gland and placenta. This subunit is virtually identical in structure and indistinguishable by radioimmunoassay in all of the above glycoproteins. It is present in both men and women, but is elevated in postmenopausal women and in patients with hypothyroidism, uraemia and malignant tumours. The alpha subunit may be involved directly in recognition of certain receptors. (12 Dec 1998) |

| peptide N-alpha acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Pituitary enzyme; acetylates peptide hormones including acth; also found in saccharomyces cerevisiae Registry number: EC 2.3.1.88 Synonym: peptide acetyltransferase, acth acetyltransferase, beta-endorphin acetyltransferase, alpha-msh acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Goodenough draw-alpha-man test | A brief test for assessing an individual's level of intelligence based on how accurately drawn and how many elements are included when a child or adult is given a pencil and sheet of white paper and asked to draw a man, the best man he or she is able to draw. Also called the Goodenough draw-alpha-person test and, in its current form, the Goodenough-Harris drawing test. (05 Mar 2000) |
