| serum amyloid | In secondary amyloidosis the fibrils deposited in tissues are unrelated to immunoglobulin light chains (in contrast to the situation in primary amyloidosis) and are made of amyloid A protein (AA protein). This is derived from serum amyloid A (SAA) that is the apolipoprotein of a high density lipoprotein and an acute phase protein. Partial proteolysis converts SAA into the pleated sheet configuration of the amyloid fibrils. Amyloid P protein is also found as a minor component of the fibrils (in both primary and secondary amyloidosis) and is derived from serum amyloid P that has similarity to C-reactive protein. The physiological role remains obscure. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| serum amyloid P component | Precursor of amyloid component P, found in basement membrane. Member of the pentraxin family. See: serum amyloid. (18 Nov 1997) |
| islet amyloid peptide | <hormone, protein> Peptide of 37 amino acids that selectively inhibits insulin stimulated glucose uptake in muscle. Structurally related to calcitonin gene-related peptide. (15 Oct 1997) |
| familial amyloid neuropathy | <neurology> A disorder in which various peripheral nerves are infiltrated with amyloid and their functions disturbed, an abnormal prealbumin is also formed and is present in the blood; characteristically, it begins during mid-life and is found largely in persons of Portuguese descent. Other rare clinical types occur. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. Synonym: familial amyloidosis, hereditary amyloidosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrial granule serine proteinase | <enzyme> Converts pro-atrial natriuretic factor to anf by cleaving the arg98-ser99 bond; n-terminal 26-residue amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| p57 serine proteinase | <enzyme> From membranes of human erythrocytes; cleaves c3, the third component of complement; mw 57 kD; 20 first n-terminal residues 100% homologous to residues 910-929 of human erythrocyte ankyrin; n-terminal sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: p57 membrane serine proteinase, erythrocyte p57 proteinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cdpdiacylglycerol-serine o-phosphatidyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the formation of phosphatidylserine and cmp from cdpdiglyceride plus serine. Chemical name: CDPdiacylglycerol:L-serine 3-O-phosphatidyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.8.8 (12 Dec 1998) |
| PP5 protein-serine-threonine phosphatase | <enzyme> Has 4 tetratricopeptide repeat (tpr) motifs; similar to ppt1 protein; do not confuse with the placental protein pp5; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: pp5 phosphatase, protein phosphatase 5 (26 Jun 1999) |
| protein-serine-threonine kinases | <enzyme> A group of enzymes that catalyses the phosphorylation of serine or threonine residues in proteins, with ATP or other nucleotides as phosphate donors. Registry number: EC 2.7.10 (12 Dec 1998) |
| protein-serine-threonine phosphatase | <enzyme> Consider also EC 3.1.3.16 phosphoprotein phosphatases Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: serine phosphatase, threonine phosphatase, protein-serine phosphatase, serine-threonine phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Pseudomonas serine proteinase | <enzyme> Extracellular proteases I, II, III have role in infectious process of pseudomonas aeruginosa; included in the group of microbial serine proteinases EC 3.4.21.4 Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: pseudomonas aeruginosa protease, pseudomonas alkaline protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| serine | <amino acid> Is synthesised by the body from the amino acids glycine or threonine. Its production requires adequate amounts of B-7 (niacin), B-6 and folic acid. It is needed for the metabolism of fats and fatty acids, muscle growth and a healthy immune system. It aides in the production of immunoglobulins and antibodies. It is a constituent of brain proteins and nerve coverings. It is important in the formation of cell membranes, involved in the metabolism of purines and pyrimidines and muscle synthesis. It is also used in cosmetics as a skin moisturizer. Serine is abundant in meats and dairy products, wheat gluten, peanuts and soy products, all of which are common allergens. There is some concern that elevated serine levels can cause immune suppression and psychological symptoms as in cerebral allergies. (22 May 1997) |
| serine carboxypeptidase | <enzyme> Carboxypeptidase z (scpz gene product) isolated from absidia zychae Registry number: EC 3.4.16.1 Synonym: carboxypeptidase w, carboxypeptidase yscy, carboxypeptidase cpd-s3, ybr1015 gene product, carboxypeptidase z, scpz gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| serine deaminase | <enzyme> A pyridoxal-phosphate protein that catalyses the deamination of threonine to 2-ketobutyrate and ammonia. The role of this enzyme can be biosynthetic or biodegradative. In the former role it supplies 2-ketobutyrate required for isoleucine biosynthesis, while in the latter it is only involved in the breakdown of threonine to supply energy. Chemical name: L-Threonine hydro-lyase (deaminating) Registry number: EC 4.2.1.16 (12 Dec 1998) |
| serine dehydrase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the lyase class that catalyses the dehydration and deamination of l-serine to form pyruvate. Chemical name: L-Serine hydro-lyase (deaminating) Registry number: EC 4.2.1.13 (12 Dec 1998) |
