| Farr type assay | <investigation> Method of radioimmunoassay in which free antigen remains soluble and antibody antigen complexes are precipitated. (18 Nov 1997) |

| undifferentiated type fever | A term applied to illnesses resulting from infection by any one of the arboviruses pathogenic for man, in which the only constant manifestation is fever; rash, lymphadenopathy, or arthralgia (alone or in combination) may occur in some individuals but not in others; some arboviruses may induce infections in which undifferentiated type fever is the only manifestation, whereas other arboviruses may induce in some persons only undifferentiated fever, and in other persons similar fever followed by secondary manifestations, e.g., a haemorrhagic fever or encephalitis.

| "e"-type cholinesterase | <enzyme, neurology, physiology> An enzyme that breaks down unused acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft (the space between neurons), this enzyme is necessary to restore the synaptic cleft so it is ready to transmit the next nerve impulse. (06 May 1997) |
| Langhans'-type giant cells | Multinucleated giant cell's seen in tuberculosis and other granulomas; the nuclei are arranged in an arciform manner at the periphery of the cell's. Synonym: Langhans'-type giant cells. Synonym: cytotrophoblastic cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Laron type dwarfism | Dwarfism associated with an absent or very low levels of somatomedin C (insulin-like growth factor I) or abnormalities in receptor activity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| F-type ATPase | <enzyme> One of three major classes of ion transport ATPase, characterised by a multi subunit structure and a lack of a phosphorylated intermediate. See: ATP synthase, P-type ATPase, V-type ATPase. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acetaldehyde dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Works with both nad and nadp Registry number: EC 1.2.1.5 Synonym: aldehyde dehydrogenase (NADP+), naho gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetoin dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of acetoin to diacetyl in the presence of NAD. Chemical name: Acetoin:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| acetol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Forms methylglyoxal; uses nad+ Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: 1-hydroxyacetone dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-ACP dehydrogenase | enoyl-ACP reductase (NADPH) |
| acyl-CoA dehydrogenase | <enzyme> See also records for specific fatty acyl groups which have full EC nomenclature number; electron-transferring flavoprotein system reducing ubiquinone and other acceptors; formerly EC 1.3.2.2 Registry number: EC 1.3.99.3 Synonym: fatty-acyl CoA dehydrogenase, palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenase, short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, acyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase, lauroyl-CoA oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (NADPH+) | Enzyme catalyzing the reversible reduction of enoyl-CoA derivatives of chain length 4 to 16, with NADPH as the hydrogen donor, forming acyl-CoA and NADP+. Synonym: enoyl-CoA reductase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alanopine dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses reductive elimination between pyruvate and alanine, or glycine, utilizing NADH as coenzyme, producing 2,2'-iminodipropionic acid (alanopine) Registry number: EC 1.5.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| alcohol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses reversibly the final step of alcoholic fermentation by reducing an aldehyde to an alcohol. In the case of ethanol, acetaldehyde is reduced to ethanol in the presence of NADH and hydrogen. The enzyme is a zinc protein which acts on primary and secondary alcohols or hemiacetals. Chemical name: Alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcohol dehydrogenase (acceptor) | An oxidoreductase that reversibly converts primary alcohols to aldehydes with an H acceptor other than NADP+. (05 Mar 2000) |
