| molybdenum-iron protein aldehyde oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Related to xanthine oxidase; isolated from desulfovibrio gigas Registry number: EC 1.2.7.- Synonym: mop protein (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| salicylic aldehyde | salicyl aldehyde |
| pyruvic aldehyde | CH3-CO-CHO; Pyruvaldehyde;the aldehyde of pyruvic acid; an intermediate of carbohydrate metabolism in certain organisms. Synonym: pyruvic aldehyde. Methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), 1,1'-[(methylethanediylidene)dinitrilo]diguanidine;an antineoplastic agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sugar aldehyde | A sugar that contains an internal acetal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ketone-aldehyde mutase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the interconversion of methylglyoxal and lactate, with glutathione serving as a coenzyme. Chemical name: S-Lactoyl-glutathione methylglyoxal-lyase (isomerizing) Registry number: EC 4.4.1.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| formic aldehyde | <chemical> Commonly used fixative and antibacterial agent. As a fixative it is cheap and tends to cause less denaturation of proteins than does glutaraldehyde, particularly if used in a well buffered solution (buffered formalin, formal saline). Old formaldehyde solutions usually contain cross linking contaminants and it is therefore often preferable to used a formaldehyde generating agent such as paraformaldehyde. Formalin fumes, particularly in conjunction with hydrochloric acid vapour, are potently carcinogenic. (20 Jun 2000) |
| acetaldehyde oxidase | <enzyme> Acetaldehyde is converted to acetate Registry number: EC 1.2.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-CoA oxidase | <enzyme> Catalyses stoichiometric conversion of palmitoyl-CoA and o2 into 2-hexadecenoyl-CoA and h2o2; oxidises acyl-CoA's with carbon chain lengths of 4 to 20; most active toward lauroyl-CoA, but not acetyl- or succinyl-CoA Registry number: EC 1.3.3.6 Synonym: fatty acyl CoA oxidase, fatty acyl-coenzyme a oxidase, fatty acid acyl-CoA oxidase, acox, pox1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| adrenaline oxidase | amine oxidase (flavin-containing) |
| alternative oxidase | <enzyme> The terminal oxidase in alternative pathway respiration, as seen in plants like sauromatum guttatum (voodoo lily); amino acid sequence for tobacco alternative oxidase (aox1) in first source Registry number: EC 1.- Synonym: aox1 gene product, aox2 gene product, aox3 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| alternative oxidase pathway | Pathway of mitochondrial electron transport in higher plants, particularly in fruits and seeds, that does not involve cytochrome oxidase and thus is resistant to cyanide. (18 Nov 1997) |
| amine oxidase | <enzyme> A group of enzymes including those oxidizing primary monoamines, diamines, and histamine. They are copper proteins, and, as their action depends on a carbonyl group, they are sensitive to inhibition by saemicarbazide. Chemical name: Amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)(copper-containing) Registry number: EC 1.4.3.6 (12 Dec 1998) |
| amine oxidase (copper-containing) | An oxidoreductase containing copper, and perhaps pyridoxal phosphate, and carrying out the same reaction as amine oxidase (flavin-containing). Synonym: amine oxidase (pyridoxal-containing), diamine oxidase, diamino oxyhydrase, histaminase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amine oxidase (flavin-containing) | An oxidoreductase containing flavin and oxidizing amines with the aid of O2 and water to aldehydes or ketones with the release of NH3 and H2O2. Acted upon by antidepressants. Synonym: adrenaline oxidase, diamine oxidase, monoamine oxidase, tyraminase, tyramine oxidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amine oxidase (pyridoxal-containing) | amine oxidase (copper-containing) |
