| aldehyde fuchsin | A stain developed by Gomori, utilizing basic fuchsin paraldehyde and hydrochloric acid; it produces violet staining of elastic fibres, mast cell granules, gastric chief cells, beta cells of the pancreatic islets, and certain hypophyseal beta granules; other pituitary granules and cells stain in other colours. See: Gomori's aldehyde fuchsin stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldehyde-ketone transferases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of aldehyde or ketone residues. Registry number: EC 2.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| aldehyde-lyases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond in a molecule containing a hydroxyl group and a carbonyl group to form two smaller molecules, each being an aldehyde or a ketone. The reaction is the reverse of an aldol condensation. These enzymes are also known as aldolases. Registry number: EC 4.1.2. (12 Dec 1998) |
