| palmite | <botany> A South African plant (Prionium Palmita) of the Rush family, having long serrated leaves. The stems have been used for making brushes. Origin: From Palm. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| palmitic | <physiology> Pertaining to, or obtained from, palmitin or palm oil; as, palmitic acid, a white crystalline body belonging to the fatty acid series. It is readily soluble in hot alcohol, and melts to a liquid oil at 62 deg C. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| palmitic acid | <biochemistry> One of the most widely distributed of fatty acids. The palmitoyl residue is one of the common acyl residues of membrane phospholipids. It is also found as a thioester attached to cystein residues on some membrane proteins. The proteins so modified are often transmembrane proteins and the modified residue is on the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane. The specificity of the transferase for the acyl residue is not high and both stearoyl and oleoyl residues can replace the palmitoyl residue. Compare: myristoylation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| palmitic acids | A group of 16-carbon fatty acids that contain no double bonds. (12 Dec 1998) |
| palmitin | <physiology> A solid crystallizable fat, found abundantly in animals and in vegetables. It occurs mixed with stearin and olein in the fat of animal tissues, with olein and butyrin in butter, with olein in olive oil, etc. Chemically, it is a glyceride of palmitic acid, three molecules of palmitic acid being united to one molecule of glyceryl, and hence it is technically called tripalmitin, or glyceryl tripalmitate. Origin: So called because abundant in palm oil. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| palmitoleic acid | 9-Hexadecenoic acid;a monounsaturated 16-carbon acid; one of the common constituents of the triacylglycerols of human adipose tissue. Synonym: zoomaric acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmitolic | <chemistry> Pertaining to, or designating, an artificial acid of the oleic acid series, isomeric with linoleic acid. Origin: Palmitic + -oleic + ic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| palmitone | <chemistry> The ketone of palmitic acid. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| palmitoyl CoA oxidase | <enzyme> In peroxisomes; forms hydrogen peroxide Registry number: EC 1.3.3.- Synonym: palmityl CoA oxidase, palmitoyl coenzyme a oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| palmitoyl coenzyme a | <chemical> S-palmitoyl coenzyme a. A fatty acid coenzyme derivative which plays a key role in fatty acid oxidation and biosynthesis. Chemical name: Coenzyme A, S-hexadecanoate (12 Dec 1998) |
| palmitoyl-CoA dependent dehydrogenase | <chemical> Sum of reactions catalyzed by fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, enoyl-CoA hydratase (EC 4.2.1.17) and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.35) Synonym: palmitoyl-coenzyme a dependent dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase | <enzyme> Enzyme catalyzing reversibly the hydrolysis of palmitoyl-CoA or other long-chain acyl coenzyme a compounds to yield CoA and palmitate or other acyl esters. The enzyme is involved in the esterification of fatty acids to form triglycerides. Chemical name: Palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.2.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| palmitoyl-L-asparaginase | <enzyme> Derivative of asparaginase which is incorporated into liposomes to avoid acute allergic reactions Pharmacological action: antineoplastic agent Registry number: EC 3.5.1.- Synonym: pal-asnase (26 Jun 1999) |
| palmitoyl-protein thioesterase | <enzyme> Cleaves palmitoyl-cysteine bond of proteins; genbank u44772; do not confuse with palmitoyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterase Registry number: EC 3.1.2.- Synonym: palmitoyl-ras thioesterase, protein palmitoyl thioesterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| palmitoylation | <biochemistry> One of the most widely distributed of fatty acids. The palmitoyl residue is one of the common acyl residues of membrane phospholipids.
