|---|---|
| dextrin 6-glucosyltransferase | A glucosyltransferase transferring 1,4-alpha-d-glucosyl residues, thus catalyzing the synthesis of dextrans (with 1,6 links between monosaccharide units) from dextrins (with 1,4 links) by glucose transfer. Synonym: dextrin-dextran transglucosidase, dextrin 6-glucosyltransferase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrin dextranase | A glucosyltransferase transferring 1,4-alpha-d-glucosyl residues, thus catalyzing the synthesis of dextrans (with 1,6 links between monosaccharide units) from dextrins (with 1,4 links) by glucose transfer. Synonym: dextrin-dextran transglucosidase, dextrin 6-glucosyltransferase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrin glycosyltransferase | Dextrin transglycosylase or glycosyltransferase;a 4-glycosyltransferase converting maltodextrins into amylose and glucose by transferring parts of 1,4-glucan chains to new 4-positions on glucose or other 1,4-glucans. Synonym: amylomaltase, D enzyme, dextrin glycosyltransferase, dextrin transglycosylase, disproportionating enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrin limit | The polysaccharide fragments remaining at the end (limit) of exhaustive hydrolysis of amylopectin or glycogen by alpha-1,4-glucan maltohydrolase, which cannot hydrolyze the alpha-1,6 bonds at branch points; accumulates in individuals with type III glycogen storage disease. Synonym: dextrin limit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrin transglycosylase | Dextrin transglycosylase or glycosyltransferase;a 4-glycosyltransferase converting maltodextrins into amylose and glucose by transferring parts of 1,4-glucan chains to new 4-positions on glucose or other 1,4-glucans. Synonym: amylomaltase, D enzyme, dextrin glycosyltransferase, dextrin transglycosylase, disproportionating enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrin-dextran transglucosidase | A glucosyltransferase transferring 1,4-alpha-d-glucosyl residues, thus catalyzing the synthesis of dextrans (with 1,6 links between monosaccharide units) from dextrins (with 1,4 links) by glucose transfer. Synonym: dextrin-dextran transglucosidase, dextrin 6-glucosyltransferase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrinase | Any of the enzymes catalyzing the hydrolysis of dextrins; e.g., amylo-1,6-glucosidase, dextrin dextranase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrinogenic | Capable of producing dextrin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrinosis | Synonym: glycogenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrinuria | The passage of dextrin in the urine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dextrinyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses transfer of dextrinyl groups to glucose, maltose, or maltodextrins; activity similar to that of amylomaltase; point mutation converts maltodextrin glucosidase to this type of enzyme Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| dextro- | <chemistry, prefix> A prefix, from the latin word dexter, meaning, pertaining to, or toward, the right; having the property of turning the plane of polarized light to the right; as, dextrotartaric acid. (29 Oct 1998) |
| dextroamphetamine | <drug> This prescription stimulant drug is used to treat narcolepsy, epilepsy, Parkinson's syndrome, and hyperactivity in children. As with all other amphetamines, this drug can be easily abused and may cause a wide range of nervous and cardiovascular side effects. (09 Oct 1997) |
| dextroamphetamine phosphate | Monobasic d-alpha-methylphenethylamine phosphate;same actions and uses as dextroamphetamine sulfate. Synonym: d-amphetamine phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
