| sulfatase | 1. Trivial name for enzymes in EC group 3.1.6, the sulfuric ester hydrolases, which catalyze the hydrolysis of sulfuric esters (sulfates) to the corresponding alcohols plus inorganic sulfate; includes aryl-, sterol, glycol-, chondroitin, choline-, cellulose, cerebroside, and chondro-sulfatases. Synonym: arylsulfatase. (05 Mar 2000) |

| disulfoglucosamine-6-sulfatase | <enzyme> Acts on various n-substituted glucosamine-6-o-sulfates Registry number: EC 3.1.6.11 Synonym: disulphoglucosamine-6-sulphatase, glucosamine o,n-disulfate o-sulfohydrolase, glucosamine sulfatase, n-sulfoglucosamine-6-sulfatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| iduronate sulfatase | <enzyme> An enzyme that specifically cleaves the ester sulfate of iduronic acid, and is required for the desulfation of 2-sulfate iduronate residues in heparan sulfate. It is also required in dermatan sulfate degradation. Its deficiency has been demonstrated in Hunter's syndrome, which is characterised by an excess of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate. Chemical name: L-Iduronate-2-sulfate 2-sulfohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.6.13 (20 Sep 2002) |
| oligosaccharide 2-O-sulfatase | <enzyme> Hydrolyzes the 2-o-sulfate of the disaccharide 4-deoxy-2-o-sulfato-alpha-l-threo-hex-4-enopyranosyluronic acid-(1-4)-2-deoxy-2-sulfamido-6-o-sulfato-d-glucose from heparin Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- Synonym: flavobacterium heparinum 2-o-sulphatase, heparo-2-o-sulfatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| oligosaccharyl sulfatase | <enzyme> From keyhole limpet; hydrolyzes sulfate esters in asparagine-linked oligosaccharides preferentially to 4-nitrocatechol sulfate Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| lactate-2-sulfate sulfatase | <enzyme> Shows no activity for (l)-isomer Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- Synonym: d-lactate-2-sulfate sulfatase, d-lactate-2-sulfatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 3b-hydroxysteroid sulfate sulfatase | <enzyme> An enzyme, found in most mammalian tissues, that is capable of hydrolyzing the sulfate ester bonds of a variety of sulfated sterols; a deficiency of this enzyme will result in X-linked ichthyosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abnormal placental size | <radiology> TOO BIG (greater than5cm in sections obtained at right angles to the long axis), maternal disease, diabetic mothers (= villous oedema), intrauterine infections, anaemic mothers (= normal histology), foetal disease, erythroblatosis foetalis (= villous oedema and hyperplasia), umbilical vein obstruction, foetal high output failure, large chorioangioma, sacrococcygeal teratoma, arteriovenous fistula too small, preeclampsia (associated with placental infarcts in 33-60%) (12 Dec 1998) |
| placental | 1. Of or pertaining to the placenta; having, or characterised by having, a placenta; as, a placental mammal. 2. <zoology> Of or pertaining to the Placentalia. <zoology> One of the Placentalia. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| placental abruption | <obstetrics> An third trimester complication that results from the haemorrhage and accumulation of blood between the placenta and the wall of the uterus. This inevitably interferes with foetal oxygenation and often necessitates the need for emergency cesarean section delivery. (31 Dec 1997) |
| placental barrier | The semipermeable layer of foetal tissue separating the maternal from the foetal blood in the placenta; composed of: 1) endothelium of the foetal vessels in the chorionic villi, 2) stromata of the villi, 3) cytotrophoblast (negligible after the fifth month of gestation), and 4) syncytial trophoblast covering the villi; the placental membrane acts as a selective membrane regulating passage of substances from the maternal to the foetal blood. Synonym: placental barrier. (05 Mar 2000) |
| placental calcium-binding protein | <protein> Calcium binding protein of placenta, uterus and vasculature containing the EF hand motif. (18 Nov 1997) |
| placental chorioangioma | <radiology> Most common benign tumour of placenta, incidence: 0.7%, Differential diagnosis: hydatidaform mole, large leiomyoma, chorioepithelioma, complications: IUGR, foetal anomaly, polyhydramnios, haemorrhage, heart failure, premature labour (12 Dec 1998) |
| placental circulation | The circulation of blood through the placenta during intrauterine life, serving the needs of the foetus for aeration, absorption, and excretion; also, maternal circulation through the intervillous space of the placenta. (05 Mar 2000) |
| placental dysfunction | 1. Denoting faulty development or ripening; often connoting structural and/or functional abnormalities. 2. In obstetrics, denoting an infant whose birth weight is inappropriately low for its gestational age. 3. Immature development of the placenta so that normal function does not occur. Synonym: placental dysfunction. (05 Mar 2000) |
