| L-galactitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Nad-specific; forms d-tagatose-6-phosphate Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: d-galactitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, galactitol-p-dhgase (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| L-glycol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses NADPH linked reversible reduction of uncharged vicinal dicarbonyls and alpha-hydroxycarbonyls to l-(+)-glycols Registry number: EC 1.1.1.185 Synonym: l-(+)-glycol-NADP oxidoreductase, alpha-dicarbonyl reductase, l-(+)-alpha-hydroxycarbonyl-NADP oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| lipoamide dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that regenerates lipoamide from the reduced form dihydrolipoamide. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lipoyl dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme oxidizing dihydrolipoamide at the expense of NAD+; completes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate; a part of several enzyme complexes (e.g., alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex). Decreased activity leads to neuronal loss in brain resulting in psychomotor retardation. Synonym: coenzyme factor, lipoamide dehydrogenase, lipoamide reductase (NADH), lipoyl dehydrogenase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| L-mandelate dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Forms benzoylformate from mandelate Registry number: EC 1.1.99.- Synonym: mandelate oxidase, dye-linked l-mandelate dehydrogenase, (s)-mandelate dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Deficiency may cause some cases of hypoglycaemic 3-hydroxydicarboxylic aciduria Registry number: EC 1.1.1.211 Synonym: l-chad (26 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Flavoprotein; forms with another flavoprotein plus EC 1.5.5.1 a system reducing ubiquinone and other acceptors Registry number: EC 1.3.99.- Synonym: lc-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, long-chain-acyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase, very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, vlcad (26 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain-alcohol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses reversibly the oxidation of a long-chain alcohol in the presence of nad to a long-chain acid anion and NADH Registry number: EC 1.1.1.192 Synonym: fatty alcohol-nad+ oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |

| a1-acid glycoprotein | <biology> Plasma protein of mammals and birds, 38% carbohydrate. In humans a single chain glycoprotein of 39 kD. Increased levels are associated with inflammation, pregnancy and various diseases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| abscisic acid | <biochemistry> A lipid hormone that inhibits cell growth in plants, it is associated with fruit drop, leaf death and seed dormancy. It is synthesised in the plastids from carotenoids. This hormone helps plants deal with water loss, and its effects can be reversed with gibberellins. (06 May 1997) |
| abscisic acid 8'-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of abscisic acid to 8'-hydroxyabscisic acid, which rearranges to phaseic acid Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: aba 8'-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetic acid | <chemical> The acid most commonly associated with vinegar, it is the most commercially important organic acid and is used to manufacture a wide range of chemical products, such as plastics and Acetobacter but, except for making vinegar, is usually made through synthetic processes. Derivatives of acetic acid which may be formed by substitution reactions. Mono- and di-substituted, as well as, halogenated compounds have been synthesised. Experimentally, alpha- and n2- substituted acetic acids have been examined for their anti-inflammatory activity and effect on the central nervous system respectively. Additionally, limited exposure data has been collected on dibromo and dichloroacetic acids to determine whether they pose health effects. Synonym: ethanoic acid. (26 Jun 1999) |
