| 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) |
| acetanilide esterase | <enzyme> Forms aniline Registry number: EC 3.5.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetylglucomannan esterase | <enzyme> Catalyses release of acetic acid from o-acetylgalactoglucomannan Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| alpha-amino acid esterase | <enzyme> Converts alpha-amino acid esters and water to alpha-amino acids and alcohol Registry number: EC 3.1.1.43 Synonym: alpha-amino acid ester hydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate esterase | <enzyme> Catalyses cleavage of the mass produced plasticiser, dehp Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: dehp esterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| brefeldin A esterase | <enzyme> Hydrolyzes brefeldin a to brefeldin a acid and also hydrolyzes ethyl valerate; 372 amino acids; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| butyrylcholine esterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine tostop its action. (22 May 1997) |
| C1 esterase | The activated first component of complement (C1). (05 Mar 2000) |
| C1 esterase inhibitor | An a2-neuraminoglycoprotein that inhibits the enzymatic activity of C1 esterase, the activated first component of complement. A deficiency of this inhibitor results in a lack of inhibition of C1r and C1s leading to uncontrolled activation of the complement cascade and oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
