| CDP glycerol glycerophosphotransferase | <enzyme> Involved in the synthesis of the major wall teichoic acid in bacillus subtilis 168 Registry number: EC 2.7.8.12 Synonym: cdp-glycerol-poly(glycerophosphate) glycerophosphotransferase, cgptase, tagf gene product, rodc gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerol | <biochemistry> A metabolic intermediate, but primarily of interest as the central structural component of the major classes of biological lipids, triglycerides and phosphatidyl phospholipids. Also used as a cryoprotectant. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glycerol dehydratase | <enzyme> Requires a cobamide coenzyme Registry number: EC 4.2.1.30 (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerol kinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the formation of glycerol 3-phosphate from ATP and glycerol. Dihydroxyacetone and l-glyceraldehyde can also act as acceptors; utp and, in the case of the yeast enzyme, itp and GTP can act as donors. It provides a way for glycerol derived from fats or glycerides to enter the glycolytic pathway. Chemical name: ATP:glycerol 3-phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.30 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycerol oxidase | <enzyme> Oxidises glycerol in the presence of oxygen to glyceraldehyde and hydrogen peroxide without the requirement of any exogenous cofactors; protoheme ix and copper are in prosthetic group Registry number: EC 1.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| sn-glycerol-3-phosphorylcholine synthetase | <enzyme> Found in rat lung and muscle Registry number: EC 2.6.99.- Synonym: gpc synthetase, phosphatidylcholine-glycerol-3-phosphate cholinetransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| iodinated glycerol | A form of organically bound iodine which liberates iodine systemically. Has been used as a medicinal source of iodine and as an expectorant in place of inorganic iodides such as potassium iodide. Synonym: iodopropylidene glycerol, organidin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodopropylidene glycerol | A form of organically bound iodine which liberates iodine systemically. Has been used as a medicinal source of iodine and as an expectorant in place of inorganic iodides such as potassium iodide. Synonym: iodopropylidene glycerol, organidin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetyl phosphate | CH3CO-OPO32-;a "high energy" phosphate that acts as an acetate donor in the metabolism of various bacteria. Synonym: acetic phosphoric anhydride. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acidulated phosphate fluoride | <chemical> Phosphoric acid, mixt. With sodium fluoride (naf). A sodium fluoride solution, paste or powder, which has been acidulated to pH 3 to 4 and buffered with a phosphate. It is used in the prevention of dental caries. Pharmacological action: fluorides, topical. Chemical name: Phosphoric acid, mixt. With sodium fluoride (NaF) (12 Dec 1998) |

| adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate forming 5'-AMP. A crucial step in the regulation of cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate levels. Inhibited by caffeine. Synonym: cAMP phosphodiesterase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 3'-phosphate | 3'-Adenylic acid. See: adenylic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-phosphosulfate | 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate;an intermediate in the formation of urinary ethereal sulfates, notable for containing a "high energy" sulfate bond; the 3'-OH of adenosine is replaced by -OPO3H2, the 5'-OH by -OP(O2H)-OSO3H. Synonym: active sulfate. Acronym: PAPS (05 Mar 2000) |
