Synonym: musculus flexor digiti minimi brevis manus, short flexor muscle of little finger. (05 Mar 2000) |
| snap finger | An affection in which the movement of the finger is arrested for a moment in flexion or extension and then continues with a jerk. Synonym: jerk finger, lock finger, snap finger, spring finger, stuck finger. (05 Mar 2000) |
| speck finger | An infection caused by erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae that is almost wholly restricted to persons who in their occupation handle infected fish, shellfish, poultry, or meat. Three forms of this condition exist: a mild localised form manifested by local swelling and redness of the skin; a diffuse form that might present with fever; and a rare systemic form associated with endocarditis.

| steroid | A group name for lipids that contain a hydrogenated cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene ring system. Some of the substances included in this group are progesterone, adrenocortical hormones, the gonadal hormones, cardiac aglycones, bile acids, sterols (such as cholesterol), toad poisons, saponins and some of the carcinogenic hydrocarbons. (18 Nov 1997) |
| steroid 11-alpha-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Converts 11-deoxycortisol to 11-alpha cortisol (the 11-alpha isomer of hydrocortisone) Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| steroid 11 beta-monooxygenase | <enzyme> A steroid hydroxylase system found in adrenal tissues. It catalyses the 11-hydroxylation of steroids in the presence of molecular oxygen and consists of an NADPH-specific flavoprotein, a non-haem iron protein, and cytochrome p-450. Its deficiency is a cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (adrenal hyperplasia, congenital). Chemical name: Steroid, reduced-adrenal-ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (11 beta-hydroxylating) Registry number: EC 1.14.15.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| steroid 12-monooxygenase | <enzyme> A steroid hydroxylase found in liver microsomes. It catalyses the 12-hydroxylation of steroids in the presence of NADPH, cytochrome p-450, and molecular oxygen. It is an important enzyme in the synthesis of cholic acid from cholesterol in the liver. Chemical name: Steroid, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (12-alpha-hydroxylating) Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| steroid 14-alpha-hydroxylase | <enzyme> From induced vegetative cell cultures of mucor piriformis; hydroxylates progesterone to 14-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone in the presence of NADPH and oxygen Registry number: EC 1.14.13.- Synonym: progesterone 14-alpha-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
