| ubiquitin carrier protein kinase | <enzyme> A 300 kD kinase consisting of 3 subunits of mws 70, 105 and 120; requires magnesium but inhibited by high concentration; from hela cells Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| lactose carrier protein | <protein> The best known example is the product of the lacY gene, coded for in the lactose operon and responsible for the uptake of lactose by E. Coli. (18 Nov 1997) |
| 3-oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme of long-chain fatty acid synthesis, that adds a two-carbon unit from malonyl-(acyl carrier protein) to another molecule of fatty acyl-(acyl carrier protein), giving a beta-ketoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) with the release of carbon dioxide. Chemical name: Acyl-(acyl carrier protein):malonyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) C-acyltransferase (decarboxylating) Registry number: EC 2.3.1.41 (12 Dec 1998) |
| latent carrier | A person, typically a prospective parent, bearing the appropriate genotype of a trait (homozygous for recessive, homozygous or heterozygous for dominant, hemizygous or homozygous for X-linked) that manifests the trait only under certain conditions, e.g., age, an environmental insult, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long-chain-fatty-acid-(acyl-carrier-protein) ligase | <enzyme> Fatty acid, acyl-carrier-protein-sh and ATP gives acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein), AMP and ppi Registry number: EC 6.2.1.20 Synonym: fatty acid-acyl carrier protein ligase (AMP), acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein)synthetase, aacp synthetase, fatty acyl-acyl carrier protein synthase, vibrio harveyi, acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthetase, acyl-acp synthetase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acute infectious nonbacterial gastroenteritis | An epidemic, highly communicable but rather mild disease of sudden onset, caused by the epidemic gastroenteritis virus (especially Norwalk agent), with an incubation period of 16 to 48 hours and a duration of 1 to 2 days, which affects all age groups; infection is associated with some fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache, one or another of which may be predominant.

| arthritis, infectious | Arthritis caused by bacteria, rickettsiae, mycoplasmas, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Bacterial arthritis is frequently caused by staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, and neisseria gonorrhoeae.
