| Harden-Young ester | D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate;important intermediate in sugar metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Neuberg ester | <biochemistry> A phosphorylated six-carbon sugar formed in the second step of glycolysis by the action of phosphoglucose isomerase on glucose-6-phosphate. In the third step, fructose 6-phospate and ATP are used to create fructose 1,6-biphosphate, ADP and a free hydrogen with the aid of phosphofructokinase. (08 Mar 2000) |

| tosylarginine methyl ester | <chemical> N(2)-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-l-arginine, methyl ester. Arginine derivative which is a substrate for many proteolytic enzymes. As a substrate for the esterase from the first component of complement, it inhibits the action of c(l) on c(4). Chemical name: L-Arginine, N2-((4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl)-, methyl ester (12 Dec 1998) |
| tosylarginine methyl ester hydrolase | <enzyme> Protease from sea urchin (arbacia punctulata) eggs; fertilization in the sea urchin is accompanied by the release of this protease from eggs into the surrounding seawater; enzyme uses tame as substrate; used as a measure of trypsin-like activity; tryptase (formerly here) is mast cell tryptase (EC 3.4.21.59) Registry number: EC 3.4.- Synonym: tame hydrolase, tame esterase, esterase a2, n-tosyl-l-arginine methyl ester esterase, tamase, tamase-1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| ester | <chemistry> A general term for any organic molecule produced by combining an acid with an alcohol. A derivative of carboxylic acid (acid with a carboxyl group -COOH) which has the general formula RCOOR, where the R's stand for the same or different aliphatic groups (alkyl groups), aromatic groups (aryl groups), or hydrogen ions. (09 Oct 1997) |
