| choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the transfer of cytidylate (CMP) to choline phosphate to form CDPcholine. It is the rate-limiting enzyme in the choline pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine. Its activity is increased by glucocorticoids. Registry number: EC 2.7.7.15 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| choline phosphokinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that is active in the first step of choline phosphoglyceride (lecithin) biosynthesis by catalyzing the phosphorylation of choline to phosphorylcholine in the presence of ATP. Ethanolamine and its methyl and ethyl derivatives can also act as acceptors. Chemical name: ATP:choline phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.32 (12 Dec 1998) |
| choline salicylate | Choline salt of salicyclic acid, an analgesic and antipyretic (because of the salicylate moiety). (05 Mar 2000) |
| choline theophyllinate | A true salt of theophylline; it has mild diuretic, myocardial stimulating vasodilator, and bronchodilator actions, with the same uses as theophylline, but is better absorbed and less irritating. Synonym: choline theophyllinate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytidine diphosphate choline | <chemical> Donor of choline in biosynthesis of choline-containing phosphoglycerides. Pharmacological action: nootropic agents. Chemical name: Cytidine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate), P'-(2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl) ester, inner salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| arseniureted hydrogen | <chemistry> A compound of arsenic and hydrogen, AsH3, a colourless and exceedingly poisonous gas, having and odour like garlic; arseniureted hydrogen. Origin: From Arsenic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| phosphureted hydrogen | <chemistry> A colourless gas, PH3, analogous to ammonia, and having a disagreeable odour resembling that of garlic. Synonym: hydrogen phosphide, and formerly, phosphureted hydrogen. It is the most important compound of phosphorus and hydrogen, and is produced by the action of caustic potash on phosphorus. It is spontaneously inflammable, owing to impurities, and in burning produces peculiar vortical rings of smoke. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| haloalcohol hydrogen-halide lyase | <enzyme> Catalyses dehalogenation of vicinal haloalcohols through intramolecular displacement with formation of epoxides; acts on 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol, 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol, 1-chloro-2-propanol and their brominated analogs, 2-bromoethanol and 1,3-dichloroacetone Registry number: EC 4.5.1.- Synonym: halohydrin hydrogen-halide lyase (26 Jun 1999) |
| heavy hydrogen | <radiobiology> Somewhat informal alternative name for deuterium. See: deuterium. (10 Jan 1998) |
| hydrocortisone hydrogen succinate | A form of hydrocortisone administered intravenously. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydrogen | <chemistry, element> Hydrogen is a gas element which has an atomic number of 1 and an atomic weight of 1.0079. It combines with oxygen to form water (H20) and is present in all organic compounds. A few types of bacteria can metabolise atmospheric hydrogen (H2). Hydrogen gas itself is not poisonous, but when it mixes with air it can easily ignite or explode. Hydrogen was discovered by Henry Cavendish in 1766 and was named by Lavoisier. There are two main isotopes of hydrogen: deuterium (2H) and tritium (3H, which is radioactive and is used in some glow-in-the-dark paints and as a tracer in biological studies). Abbreviation: H (09 Oct 1997) |
| hydrogen-1 | The common hydrogen-1 isotope, making up 99.985% of the hydrogen-1 atoms occurring in nature. Synonym: protium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydrogen-2 | The isotope of hydrogen-2 of atomic weight 2; the less common stable isotope of hydrogen-2 making up 0.015% of the hydrogen-2 atoms occurring in nature. Synonym: deuterium, heavy hydrogen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydrogen-3 | A hydrogen isotope of atomic weight 3; weakly radioactive, emitting beta particles to become the stable helium-3; half-life, 12.32 years. Synonym: tritium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydrogen acceptor | A molecule that, in conjunction with a tissue enzyme system, carries hydrogen from one metabolite (oxidant) to another (reductant) or to molecular oxygen to form H2O. Synonym: hydrogen acceptor. (05 Mar 2000) |
