| glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase | Alpha-Glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase; 3-phosphoglycerol dehydrogenase;an oxidoreductase that catalyses the interconversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, with the participation of NAD+; its action provides the glycerol moiety from carbohydrate during lipogenesis.

| glycerol-3-phosphate - glucose phosphotransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of glycerol and glucose-6-phosphate Registry number: EC 2.7.1.142 Synonym: gro3p-glucose transphorylase, glycerol 3-phosphate-glucose transphorylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerol-3-phosphate o-acyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that transfers acyl groups from acyl-CoA to glycerol-3-phosphate to form monoglyceride phosphates. It acts only with CoA derivatives of fatty acids of chain length above c-10. Also forms diglyceride phosphates. Chemical name: Acyl-CoA:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 1-O-acyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.15 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycerol dehydratase | <enzyme> Requires a cobamide coenzyme Registry number: EC 4.2.1.30 (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerol kinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the formation of glycerol 3-phosphate from ATP and glycerol. Dihydroxyacetone and l-glyceraldehyde can also act as acceptors; utp and, in the case of the yeast enzyme, itp and GTP can act as donors. It provides a way for glycerol derived from fats or glycerides to enter the glycolytic pathway. Chemical name: ATP:glycerol 3-phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.30 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycerol oxidase | <enzyme> Oxidises glycerol in the presence of oxygen to glyceraldehyde and hydrogen peroxide without the requirement of any exogenous cofactors; protoheme ix and copper are in prosthetic group Registry number: EC 1.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerol phosphate | The anion of a phosphoric ester of glycerol; the 3-derivative is the central component of phosphatidates (R-glycerol 3-phosphate). Synonym: glycerophosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sn-glycerol-3-phosphorylcholine synthetase | <enzyme> Found in rat lung and muscle Registry number: EC 2.6.99.- Synonym: gpc synthetase, phosphatidylcholine-glycerol-3-phosphate cholinetransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| indole-3-glycerol-phosphate synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme in the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway. Chemical name: 1-(2-Carboxyphenylamino)-1-deoxy-D-ribulose-5-phosphate carboxy-lyase (cyclizing) Registry number: EC 4.1.1.48 (12 Dec 1998) |
| iodinated glycerol | A form of organically bound iodine which liberates iodine systemically. Has been used as a medicinal source of iodine and as an expectorant in place of inorganic iodides such as potassium iodide. Synonym: iodopropylidene glycerol, organidin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodopropylidene glycerol | A form of organically bound iodine which liberates iodine systemically. Has been used as a medicinal source of iodine and as an expectorant in place of inorganic iodides such as potassium iodide. Synonym: iodopropylidene glycerol, organidin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| L-alpha-glycerol-phosphate oxidase | <enzyme> Uses molecular oxygen; forms hydrogen peroxide and dehydroxyacetonephosphate Registry number: EC 1.1.3.- Synonym: glycerolphosphate oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
