| receptors, n-methyl-d-aspartate | A class of ionotropic glutamate receptors characterised by affinity for n-methyl-d-aspartate. Nmda receptors have an allosteric binding site for glycine which must be occupied for the channel to open efficiently and a site within the channel itself to which magnesium ions bind in a voltage-dependent manner. The positive voltage dependence of channel conductance and the high permeability of the conducting channel to calcium ions (as well as to monovalent cations) are important in excitotoxicity and neuronal plasticity.

| N-acyl-D-aspartate amidohydrolase | <enzyme> Specific for d-aspartate; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.5.1.- Synonym: d-aaase, n-acyl-d-asp amidohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| N methyl D aspartate receptor | <physiology> Glutamate receptor sub type (see excitatory amino acids). N methyl D aspartate receptor channels seem to be potentiated by intracellular arachidonic acid. Acronym: NMDA (26 Mar 1998) |
| IMP-aspartate ligase | <enzyme> A carbon-nitrogen ligase. During purine ribonucleotide biosynthesis, this enzyme catalyses the synthesis of adenylosuccinate from GTP, imp, and aspartate with the formation of orthophosphate and GDP. Chemical name: IMP:L-aspartate ligase (GDP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.3.4.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| L-aspartate oxidase | <enzyme> E coli enzyme; forms unstable product, iminoaspartate; b protein of quinolinate synthetase Registry number: EC 1.4.3.16 Synonym: b-protein, quinolinate synthetase, l-aspartate - fumarate oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| aluminum magnesium silicate | An antacid. Synonym: aluminum magnesium silicate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium magnesium-atpase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of ATP and is activated by millimolar concentrations of either calcium or magnesium. Unlike calcium-transporting atpase it does not require the second divalent cation for its activity, and is not sensitive to orthovanadate. Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium magnesium dependent endodeoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> Similar in action but different from dnase i Registry number: EC 3.1.21.- Synonym: ca mg dnase, ca(2+)+mg(2+) dnase, calcium-magnesium endonuclease, ca-mg endonuclease (26 Jun 1999) |
| magnesium | <chemical, element> An essential divalent cation. The major role is as the chelated ion in ATP and presumably other triphosphonucleotides. The magnesium ATP complex is the sole biologically active form of ATP. The other essential role of magnesium is as the central ion of chlorophyll. Cellular concentration is less than 5mM. Serum concentration approximately 1mM. Pharmacologic action: Hypomagnesemia can cause refractory ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Uses: known hypomagnesemic states - suspect hypomagnesmia in alcoholics, chronic disease states, or others with poor nutrition; treatment of choice for Torsade de Pointes. Dose: 1-2 grams IV push for cardiac arrest, over 1 to 2 minutes for Torsades, and over 5 to 60 minutes for acute myocardial infarction. Potential complications: Transient flushing and diaphoresis, sinus bradycardia, hypotension, hyporeflexia and paralysis with overdose. Abbreviation: Mg (15 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium aluminum silicate | An antacid. Synonym: aluminum magnesium silicate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium bacteriopheophytinate | <microbiology, plant biology> Varieties of chlorophyll (bacteriochlorophylls a, b, c, d, e and g) found in photosynthetic bacteria and differing from plant chlorophyll in the substituents around the tetrapyrrole nucleus of the molecule and in the absorption spectra. (18 Nov 1997) |
| magnesium benzoate | Has been used in gout and rheumatoid arthritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
