| myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the formation of myo-inositol-1-phosphate from glucose-6-phosphate in the presence of NAD. Chemical name: 1L-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate lyase (isomerizing) Registry number: EC 5.5.1.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| creatine phosphate | <biochemistry> Storage compound of vertebrate muscle. See: creatine kinase. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cyclic inositol phosphate | 1, 2 cyclic derivatives of inositol phosphatide that are invariably formed during enzymic hydrolysis of phosphatidyl inositol species. Have been proposed as second messengers in hormone activated pathways. (18 Nov 1997) |
| 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) |
| prednisolone sodium phosphate | Prednisolone 21-(disodium phosphate);more soluble than prednisolone and the other prednisolone esters and useful when a rapid onset or a short duration of action is desired; suitable for intrasynovial, parenteral, and topical administration. Prednisolone succinate, prednisolone compound suitable for intramuscular, intravenous, or rectal administration. Prednisolone tebutate, same actions and uses as prednisolone but with longer duration of action and suitable for intrasynovial and soft tissue injection. Synonym: prednisolone butylacetate.
