| cyclic imp | <chemical> Inosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). An inosine nucleotide which acts as a mild inhibitor of the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP and as an inhibitor of cat heart cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. Chemical name: Inosine, cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate) (12 Dec 1998) |
| cyclic inositol phosphate | 1, 2 cyclic derivatives of inositol phosphatide that are invariably formed during enzymic hydrolysis of phosphatidyl inositol species. Have been proposed as second messengers in hormone activated pathways. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cyclic neutropenia | Neutropenia recurring at regular intervals (14 to 45 days), in association with various types of infectious diseases, e.g., stomatitis, cutaneous ulcers, furuncles, arthritis, and others. Synonym: cyclic neutropenia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cyclic peptide | A peptide that forms a ring structure; e.g., tyrocidin A, an antibiotic, is a cyclic decapeptide; valinomycin is a cyclic depsipeptide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyclic phosphate | An activator of phosphorylase kinase and an effector of other enzymes, formed in muscle from ATP by adenylate cyclase and broken down to 5'-AMP by a phosphodiesterase; sometimes referred to as the "second messenger." A related compound (2',3') is also known. Synonym: cyclic adenylic acid, cyclic AMP, cyclic phosphate. Acronym: cAMP (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyclic phosphoric acid | In general, a linear polymer of phosphoric acid residues in pyrophosphate linkage in which the a and ω residues are similarly linked to make one endless loop or cyclic compound, specifically, a generic term applied to compounds in which one phosphoric acid residue is esterified to two hydroxyl groups of a single carbon chain, as in adenosine 3',5'-phosphoric acid, adenosine 2',3'-phosphoric acid, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyclic phosphorylation | Any process in which a phosphatide ester forms a cylic diester by linkage to a neighbouring hydroxyl group. (18 Nov 1997) |
