| Embden ester | Hexose phosphate;a mixture of d-glucose-6-phosphate and d-fructose 6-phosphate; significant in the understanding of sugar metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tosylarginine methyl ester | <chemical> N(2)-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-l-arginine, methyl ester. Arginine derivative which is a substrate for many proteolytic enzymes. As a substrate for the esterase from the first component of complement, it inhibits the action of c(l) on c(4). Chemical name: L-Arginine, N2-((4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl)-, methyl ester (12 Dec 1998) |
| tosylarginine methyl ester hydrolase | <enzyme> Protease from sea urchin (arbacia punctulata) eggs; fertilization in the sea urchin is accompanied by the release of this protease from eggs into the surrounding seawater; enzyme uses tame as substrate; used as a measure of trypsin-like activity; tryptase (formerly here) is mast cell tryptase (EC 3.4.21.59) Registry number: EC 3.4.- Synonym: tame hydrolase, tame esterase, esterase a2, n-tosyl-l-arginine methyl ester esterase, tamase, tamase-1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| ester | <chemistry> A general term for any organic molecule produced by combining an acid with an alcohol. A derivative of carboxylic acid (acid with a carboxyl group -COOH) which has the general formula RCOOR, where the R's stand for the same or different aliphatic groups (alkyl groups), aromatic groups (aryl groups), or hydrogen ions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| tyrosine-ester sulfotransferase | <enzyme> Also acts on phenols and organic hydroxylamines Registry number: EC 2.8.2.9 Synonym: arylsulfotransferase iv (26 Jun 1999) |
| fatty acyl ethyl ester synthase | <enzyme> Myocardial enzyme; esterifies free fatty acids in the absence of ATP and coenzyme a; the fatty acid ethyl ester synthase III has homology with glutathione s-transferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: fatty acid ethyl ester synthase, fatty acid ethyl ester synthase III, faee synthase, faees-iii gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| 7-hydroxycoumarinyl ester hyrolase | <enzyme> A recombinant cytosolic phospholipase a2 that not only possesses pla2 and lyso-pl activities, but also hydrolyzes simple fatty acid esters of 7-hydroxycoumarin Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: 7-hcease (26 Jun 1999) |
| Rambourg's chromic acid-phosphotungstic acid stain | <technique> A stain for glycoproteins, used with an electron microscope, with which ultrathin tissue sections reveal complex carbohydrates in the same locations as shown by Rambourg's periodic acid-chromic methenamine-silver stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| a1-acid glycoprotein | <biology> Plasma protein of mammals and birds, 38% carbohydrate. In humans a single chain glycoprotein of 39 kD. Increased levels are associated with inflammation, pregnancy and various diseases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| abscisic acid | <biochemistry> A lipid hormone that inhibits cell growth in plants, it is associated with fruit drop, leaf death and seed dormancy. It is synthesised in the plastids from carotenoids. This hormone helps plants deal with water loss, and its effects can be reversed with gibberellins. (06 May 1997) |
| abscisic acid 8'-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of abscisic acid to 8'-hydroxyabscisic acid, which rearranges to phaseic acid Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: aba 8'-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetic acid | <chemical> The acid most commonly associated with vinegar, it is the most commercially important organic acid and is used to manufacture a wide range of chemical products, such as plastics and Acetobacter but, except for making vinegar, is usually made through synthetic processes. Derivatives of acetic acid which may be formed by substitution reactions. Mono- and di-substituted, as well as, halogenated compounds have been synthesised. Experimentally, alpha- and n2- substituted acetic acids have been examined for their anti-inflammatory activity and effect on the central nervous system respectively. Additionally, limited exposure data has been collected on dibromo and dichloroacetic acids to determine whether they pose health effects. Synonym: ethanoic acid. (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetoacetic acid | CH3COCH2COOH;one of the ketone bodies, formed in excess and appearing in the urine in starvation or diabetes. Synonym: diacetic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetohydroxamic acid | C2H5NO2; N-Hydroxyacetamide;an inhibitor of urease, used as adjunctive therapy in chronic urea-splitting urinary infections. (05 Mar 2000) |
