| AVP | 1) Active non apeptide(?) 2) Arginine Vaso-Pressin |
| arginine vasopressin | [8-arginine]vasopressin; [Arg8]vasopressin;vasopressin containing an arginyl residue in position 8 (as in chickens and most mammals, including man); porcine vasopressin has a lysyl residue at position 8. All are vasopressors. Synonym: argipressin. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| arginine vasotocin | Vasotocin with arginyl residue at position 8 (identical with arginine oxytocin). See: arginine vasopressin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta-alanyl-arginine hydrolase | <enzyme> Also hydrolyzes carnosine, at a lower rate; requires mn2+; inhibited by bestatin; stabilised by sulfhydryl reagents Registry number: EC 3.4.13.- Synonym: ala-arg hydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| calcium-calmodulin-activated histone 3 arginine kinase | <enzyme> From nuclear extracts of dividing and quiescent rat heart endothelial cells; represents a new class of ca-cam-dependent kinases which phosphorylate arg Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: ca(2+)-calmodulin-activated histone 3 arg kinase, ca-cam h3 kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| complement 5a, des-arginine | Complement 5a with the carboxy-terminal arginine removed. The arginine is rapidly cleaved from the c5a fragment during complement activation by carboxypeptidase b present in normal human serum. C5a des-arg shows complete loss of spasmogenic activity though it retains some chemotactic ability. (12 Dec 1998) |
| protein-arginine n-methyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the methylation of arginine residues of proteins to yield n-mono- and n,n-dimethylarginine. This enzyme is found in many organs, primarily brain and spleen. Chemical name: S-Adenosyl-L-methionine:protein-L-arginine N-methyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.1.1.23 (12 Dec 1998) |
| NAD(p)-arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the transfer of the ADP-ribose moiety from NAD to specific protein substrates with agmatine, arginine-type compounds, or guanidine as acceptors. This reaction can be catalyzed by prokaryotic and eukaryotic enzyme systems. Mono-ADP-ribosylation is a mechanism of action common to several bacterial toxins. It effects profound changes in cellular metabolism, such as activation of adenylate cyclase, regulation of protein synthesis at the level of elongation factor 2, and ion transport across biological membranes. Chemical name: NAD(+)-L-arginine ADP-D-ribosyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.4.2.31 (12 Dec 1998) |
| N-arginine dibasic convertase | <enzyme> Catalyses cleavage at the n-terminus of arginine residues in dibasic stretches of proteins; located in brain cortex; genbank l27124 Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: nrd convertase, n-arg dibasic convertase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acrosomal cap | A collapsed membranous vesicle that covers the anterior part of the nucleus of the spermatozoon, derived from the acrosomal granule; the carbohydrate-rich substance of the cap is associated with hydrolytic enzymes that aid in sperm penetration of the zona pellucida of the ovum. Synonym: head cap. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical cap | <radiology> Local pleural thickening at lung apex, ascribed incorrectly to TB, aetiology: non-specific fibrous scarring (most common), Pancoast tumour (12 Dec 1998) |
| bishop's cap | <botany> A plant of the genus Mitella; miterwort. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| cap | <abbreviation> Catabolite (gene) activator protein. 1. Any anatomical structure that resembles a cap or cover. 2. A protective covering for an incomplete tooth. 3. Colloquialism for restoration of the coronal part of a natural tooth by means of an artificial crown. 4. The nucleotide structure found at the 5' terminus of many eukaryotic messenger RNAs, consisting of a 7-methylguanosine connected, via its 5'-hydroxyl group, by a triphosphate group to the 5'-hydroxyl group of the first nucleoside encoded by the DNA; usually symbolised as m7G5'ppp5'N, where N is nucleoside number 1 in the transcribed mRNA and is often itself methylated; the cap is added posttranscriptionally. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cap binding protein | <molecular biology, protein> Protein (24 kD) with affinity for cap structure at 5' end of mRNA that probably assists, together with other initiation factors, in binding the mRNA to the 40S ribosomal subunit. Translation of mRNA in vitro is faster if it has a cap binding protein. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cap II RNA(nucleoside-2'-)methyltransferase | <enzyme> Converts cap i-terminated mRNA to cap II-terminated mRNA Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: cap II methylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cap I RNA (nucleoside-2'-)methyltransferase | <enzyme> Converts cap 0-terminated mRNA to cap i-terminated mRNA Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: cap I methylase (26 Jun 1999) |
