| phosphate | <chemistry> A salt of phosphoric acid. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
|---|---|
| phosphate acetyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of acetylphosphate from acetyl-CoA and inorganic phosphate. Acetylphosphate serves as a high-energy phosphate compound. Chemical name: Acetyl-CoA:orthophosphate acetyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.8 (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphate diabetes | Excessive secretion of phosphate in the urine due to a defect in tubular reabsorption; usually part of a more generalised abnormality, such as Fanconi syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phosphate group | <chemistry> A phosphate group on a larger molecule, where the phosphorus is single bonded to each of the four oxygens, and the other bond of one of the oxygens is attached to the rest of the molecule. This means that the entire group has a net negative charge of -3 (from the free second bonds on the oxygen atoms which are only bonded to the phosphorus atom). Often hydrogen atoms will be attached to the oxygens and sometimes double bonds between the phosphorus and an oxygen are present. (31 Dec 1997) |
| phosphate permease | <chemical> Isolated from van+ gene of neurospora crassa; transports vanadate Chemical name: permease, phosphate Synonym: permease, phosphate, pho4 gene product, pho5 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| phosphate tetany | Tetany due to the ingestion of an excess of alkaline phosphates (Na2HPO4 or K2HPO4); most commonly produced experimentally in animals by the injection of alkaline phosphate, which reduces the ionised calcium of the blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phosphated | Containing phosphates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phosphatemia | An abnormally high concentration of inorganic phosphates in the blood. Origin: phosphate + G. Haima, blood (05 Mar 2000) |
| phosphates | Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphatic | <chemistry> Pertaining to, or containing, phosphorus, phosphoric acid, or phosphates; as, phosphatic nodules. <medicine> Phosphatic diathesis, a habit of body which leads to the undue excretion of phosphates with the urine. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| phosphatidal | Older trivial name for alk-1-enylglycerophospholipid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phosphatidase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of a lecithin to a lysolecithin by removing the 2-acyl group; also acts on other phospholipids by removing a fatty acid from the 2-position; this enzyme has an important role in prostaglandin and leukotriene biosynthesis. Synonym: lecithinase A, phosphatidase, phosphatidolipase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phosphatidate | A salt or ester of a phosphatidic acid. Phosphatidate phosphatase, an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphatidate producing inorganic phosphate and 1,2-diacylglycerol; this enzyme participates in phospholipid and triacylglycerol metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phosphatidate phosphatase | <enzyme> A phosphomonoesterase involved in the synthesis of triacylglycerols. It catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphatidates with the formation of diacylglycerols and orthophosphate. Chemical name: 3-sn-Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphatide | <biochemistry> The family of phospholipids based on 1,2 diacyl 3 phosphoglyceric acid. (31 Dec 1997) |
