| secretory rate | The amount of a substance secreted by cells or by a specific organ or organism over a given period of time; usually applies to those substances which are formed by glandular tissues and are released by them into biological fluids, e.g., secretory rate of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex, secretory rate of gastric acid by the gastric mucosa. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| secretory vesicle | <cell biology> Membrane bounded vesicle derived from the Golgi apparatus and containing material that is to be released from the cell. The contents may be densely packed, often in an inactive precursor form (zymogen). (18 Nov 1997) |
| steroid secretory rate | The rate of glandular secretion of a given steroid, usually expressed as milligrams per day; does not include any amount of the steroid that might be formed extraglandularly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| IgA, secretory | The principle ig found in exocrine secretions such as milk, respiratory and intestinal mucin, saliva and tears. It is composed of two to four molecules of 7s IgA and one molecule each of j chain and secretory component (sc), also called secretory piece. Molecular weight appr. 400,000. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alkaline D-peptidase | <enzyme> A penicillin-recognizing enzyme from bacillus cereus; has beta-lactamase activity; genbank d86380 Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: ADP gene product, alkaline d-stereospecific endopeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| aspartyllysine peptidase | <enzyme> From human intestinal brush border; stabilised by zn+2 Registry number: EC 3.4.13.- Synonym: zn-stable aspartyllysine peptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| C5a peptidase | <enzyme> Streptococcus pyogenes enzyme inactivates complement 5a by cleaving at lysine 68, removing a six-amino acid fragment Pharmacological action: complement inactivators Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: streptococcus c5a peptidase, gbs c5a-ase, group b streptococci c5a-ase, scpa protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| matrix processing peptidase | <enzyme> From matrix fraction of rat liver mitochondria; cleaves mitochondrial protein precursors; inhibited by metal chelators and reactived by mn2+; classified as EC 3.4.24.64 Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: mitochondrial processing peptidase, mitochondrial processing protease, alpha-mpp, beta-mpp, p-52 protein, rat, p-55 protein, rat, mas1 protein, yeast, mas2 protein, yeast (26 Jun 1999) |
| peptidase | <enzyme> Alternative name for a protease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| peptidase D | <enzyme> An enzyme cleaving aminoacyl-l-proline bonds in dipeptides containing a C-terminal prolyl residue; a deficiency of this enzyme results in hyperimidodipeptiduria. Synonym: imidodipeptidase, peptidase D, prolidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peptidase P | <enzyme> A hydrolase cleaving C-terminal dipeptides from a variety of substrates, including angiotensin I, which is converted to angiotensin II and histidylleucine. An important step in the metabolism of certain vasopressor agents. It is a chloride-dependent, zinc glycoprotein that is generally membrane-bound and active at neutral pH. Only single dipeptides are released from angiotensin I and bradykinin because of the lack of activity on bonds involving proline. It may also have endopeptidase activity on some substrates. Registry number: EC 3.4.15.1 Synonym: carboxycathepsin, dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase, kinase II, peptidase P. (22 Sep 2002) |
| mitochondrial intermediate peptidase | <enzyme> Removes the octapeptide from the amino terminus of the intermediate protein processed from the protein precursor of certain mitochondrial proteins by the mitochondrial processing peptidase; smip from schizophyllum commune; rmip from rat; ymip from saccharomyces cerevisiae Registry number: EC 3.4.24.59 Synonym: mip peptidase, smip peptidase, rmip peptidase, ymip peptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| procollagen peptidase | <enzyme> The proteases that remove the terminal extension peptides of procollagen, deficiency of these enzymes leads to dermatosparaxis or Ehlers Danlos syndrome. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pyroglutamyl-peptidase I | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the release of a n-terminal pyroglutamyl group from a polypeptide provided the next residue is not proline. It is inhibited by thiol-blocking reagents and occurs in mammalian tissues, microorganisms, and plants. Registry number: EC 3.4.19.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| PZ-PLGPA peptidase | <enzyme> Endopeptidase from treponema denticola Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- (26 Jun 1999) |
