| aminoadipic d-saemialdehyde synthase | <enzyme> A bifunctional enzyme used in lysine degradation; it has a lysine:alpha-ketoglutarate reductase activity as well as a saccharopine dehydrogenase activity. A deficiency of this enzyme results in familial hyperlysinaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| aminoadipic saemialdehyde synthase | <enzyme> Bifunctional enzyme with both lysine-ketoglutarate reductase (EC 1.5.1.8) and saccharopine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.9) activities Registry number: EC 1.5.1.- Synonym: aasa synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| aminodeoxychorismate synthase | <enzyme> From E coli; probably catalyses the conversion of chorismate to 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate; see also paba protein Registry number: EC 2.6.1.- Synonym: pabb gene product, adc synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| amylopectin synthase | <enzyme> From eimeria tenella; catalyses udpglucose alpha 1,4-glucan alpha-4-glucosyltransferase forming amylopectin, similar to glycogen synthase in eukaryotes Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| anthranilate synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the formation of anthranilate (o-aminobenzoate) and pyruvic acid from chorismate and glutamine. Anthranilate is the biosynthetic precurser of tryptophan and numerous secondary metabolites, including inducible plant defense compounds. Chemical name: Chorismate pyruvate-lyase (amino-accepting) Registry number: EC 4.1.3.27 (12 Dec 1998) |
| arachidonoylethanolamide synthase | <enzyme> Enzyme from rabbit cerebral cortex is coenzyme a- and ATP-independent Registry number: EC 3.5.1.- Synonym: arachidonylethanolamide synthase, anandamide synthase, anandamide amidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| argininosuccinate synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the urea cycle that catalyses the formation of argininosuccinic acid from citrulline and aspartic acid in the presence of ATP. Absence or defect of this enzyme causes the metabolic disease citrullinaemia in man. Chemical name: L-Citrulline:L-aspartate ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.3.4.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| aristolochene synthase | <enzyme> Catalyses the cyclization of trans, trans-farnesyl pyrophosphate to aristolochene; from penicillium roqueforti Registry number: EC 5.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| ATP synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of phosphate and ADP into ATP during oxidativephosphorylation in mitochondriaand bacteria or photophosphorylationin chloroplasts. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bacteriochlorophyll a synthase | <enzyme> Catalyses esterification of bacteriochlorophyllide with phytol; isolated from e. Coli Registry number: EC 6.1.- Synonym: bchg gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
