|---|---|
| mitochondrial swelling | Increase in volume of mitochondria due to an influx of fluid; it occurs in hypotonic solutions due to osmotic pressure and in isotonic solutions as a result of altered permeability of the membranes of respiring mitochondria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease, mitochondrial | Mutations (changes) in the mitochondrial chromosome are responsible for a number of disorders including an eye disease (Leber's hereditary optic atrophy), a type of epilepsy (called MERRF which stands for Myoclonus Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibres), and a cause of dementia (called MELAS for Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-like episodes). All mitochondrial diseases were entirely enigmatic before it was discovered that they were due to mutations not in regular chromosomes but the mitochondrial chromosome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA, mitochondrial | Double-stranded DNA of mitochondria. In eukaryotes, the mitochondrial genome is circular and codes for ribosomal rnas, transfer rnas, and about 10 proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acetaldehyde dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Works with both nad and nadp Registry number: EC 1.2.1.5 Synonym: aldehyde dehydrogenase (NADP+), naho gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetoin dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of acetoin to diacetyl in the presence of NAD. Chemical name: Acetoin:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| acetol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Forms methylglyoxal; uses nad+ Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: 1-hydroxyacetone dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-ACP dehydrogenase | enoyl-ACP reductase (NADPH) |
| acyl-CoA dehydrogenase | <enzyme> See also records for specific fatty acyl groups which have full EC nomenclature number; electron-transferring flavoprotein system reducing ubiquinone and other acceptors; formerly EC 1.3.2.2 Registry number: EC 1.3.99.3 Synonym: fatty-acyl CoA dehydrogenase, palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenase, short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, acyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase, lauroyl-CoA oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (NADPH+) | Enzyme catalyzing the reversible reduction of enoyl-CoA derivatives of chain length 4 to 16, with NADPH as the hydrogen donor, forming acyl-CoA and NADP+. Synonym: enoyl-CoA reductase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alanopine dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses reductive elimination between pyruvate and alanine, or glycine, utilizing NADH as coenzyme, producing 2,2'-iminodipropionic acid (alanopine) Registry number: EC 1.5.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| alcohol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses reversibly the final step of alcoholic fermentation by reducing an aldehyde to an alcohol. In the case of ethanol, acetaldehyde is reduced to ethanol in the presence of NADH and hydrogen. The enzyme is a zinc protein which acts on primary and secondary alcohols or hemiacetals. Chemical name: Alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcohol dehydrogenase (acceptor) | An oxidoreductase that reversibly converts primary alcohols to aldehydes with an H acceptor other than NADP+. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP+) | An oxidoreductase reversibly converting alcohols to aldehydes (or ketones) with NAD(P)+ as H acceptor. Synonym: aldehyde reductase, DPNH aldehyde transhydrogenase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldehyde dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that oxidises an aldehyde in the presence of NAD+ and water to an acid and NADH. Before 1978, it was classified as EC 1.1.1.70. Chemical name: Aldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.2.1.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
