|---|---|
| heparin | <drug> Sulphated mucopolysaccharide, found in granules of mast cells, that inhibits the action of thrombin on fibrinogen by potentiating antithrombins, thereby interfering with the blood clotting cascade. Platelet factor IV will neutralise heparin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| heparin antagonists | Coagulant substances inhibiting the anticoagulant action of heparin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heparin binding growth factor | <growth factor> Acidic fibroblast growth factor (alpha FGF, HBGF 1) and basic FGF (beta FGF, HBGF 2) are the two founder members of a family of structurally related growth factors for mesodermal or neuroectodermal cells. Synonym: heparin binding growth factor. Acronym: FGF (18 Nov 1997) |
| heparin cofactor II | <chemical> A sulfated plasma protein with the mw of approximately 66kda. The protein is an inhibitor of thrombin in plasma that is activated by dermatan sulfate or heparin. It is a member of the serpin superfamily. Pharmacological action: serine proteinase inhibitors. Chemical name: Heparin cofactor II (12 Dec 1998) |
| heparin complement | The protein component of heparin in blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heparin eliminase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the isomerase class that catalyses the eliminative cleavage of polysaccharides containing 1,4-linked d-glucuronate or l-iduronate residues and 1,4-alpha-linked 2-sulfoamino-2-deoxy-6-sulfo-d-glucose residues to give oligosaccharides with terminal 4-deoxy-alpha-d-gluc-4-enuronosyl groups at their non-reducing ends. Chemical name: heparin lyase Registry number: EC 4.2.2.7 (12 Dec 1998) |
| heparin-glucosamine 3-O-sulfotransferase | <enzyme> Reaction: 3'-phosphoadenylylsulfate + heparin-glucosamine = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + heparin glucosamine 3-o-sulfate Registry number: EC 2.8.2.23 Synonym: glucosaminyl 3-o-sulfotransferase, d-glucosaminyl 3-o-sulfotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| heparin, low-molecular-weight | <chemical> Heparin fractions with a molecular weight usually between 4000 and 6000 kD. These low-molecular-weight fractions are effective antithrombotic agents. Their administration reduces the risk of haemorrhage, they have a longer half-life, and their platelet interactions are reduced in comparison to unfractionated heparin. They also provide an effective prophylaxis against postoperative major pulmonary embolism. Pharmacological action: anticoagulant, fibrinolytic agent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heparin lyase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the isomerase class that catalyses the eliminative cleavage of polysaccharides containing 1,4-linked d-glucuronate or l-iduronate residues and 1,4-alpha-linked 2-sulfoamino-2-deoxy-6-sulfo-d-glucose residues to give oligosaccharides with terminal 4-deoxy-alpha-d-gluc-4-enuronosyl groups at their non-reducing ends. Chemical name: heparin lyase Registry number: EC 4.2.2.7 (12 Dec 1998) |
| heparin unit | The quantity of heparin required to keep 1 ml of cat's blood fluid for 24 hr at 0캜; it is equivalent approximately to 0.002 mg of pure heparin. Synonym: Howell unit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetic solution | A vinegar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amaranth solution | A 1% solution of amaranth (trisodium naphthol sulfonic acid), a synthetic vivid red dye, stable in acid and intensified in sodium hydroxide solution; used as a red or pink colourant in liquid pharmaceuticals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aqueous solution | <chemistry> A solution in which water is the dissolving medium or solvent. (09 Jan 1998) |
| barium solution | A liquid containing barium sulfate, which shows up on X-rays. It outlines organs of the body so they can be seen on X-ray film. (12 Dec 1998) |
