| lipoproteins, hdl cholesterol | Cholesterol which is contained in or bound to high density lipoproteins (hdl). High density lipoproteins transport cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver thereby acting as a scavenger to prevent excess accumulation and deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| lipoproteins, ldl cholesterol | Cholesterol which is contained in or bound to low density lipoproteins (ldl). Ldl transport cholesterol to peripheral tissues and regulate de novo cholesterol synthesis at these sites. Atherosclerosis is caused by the deposit of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels, because of high concentrations of ldl cholesterol in plasma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lipoproteins, vldl cholesterol | Cholesterol which is contained in or bound to very low density lipoproteins (vldl). High concentrations of vldl cholesterol are found in type IIb and type v hyperlipoproteinaemia. The end product of vldl cholesterol catabolism is ldl (low density lipoproteins). (12 Dec 1998) |

| acetoin dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of acetoin to diacetyl in the presence of NAD. Chemical name: Acetoin:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| acetol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Forms methylglyoxal; uses nad+ Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: 1-hydroxyacetone dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-ACP dehydrogenase | enoyl-ACP reductase (NADPH) |
| acyl-CoA dehydrogenase | <enzyme> See also records for specific fatty acyl groups which have full EC nomenclature number; electron-transferring flavoprotein system reducing ubiquinone and other acceptors; formerly EC 1.3.2.2 Registry number: EC 1.3.99.3 Synonym: fatty-acyl CoA dehydrogenase, palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenase, short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, acyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase, lauroyl-CoA oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (NADPH+) | Enzyme catalyzing the reversible reduction of enoyl-CoA derivatives of chain length 4 to 16, with NADPH as the hydrogen donor, forming acyl-CoA and NADP+. Synonym: enoyl-CoA reductase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alanopine dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses reductive elimination between pyruvate and alanine, or glycine, utilizing NADH as coenzyme, producing 2,2'-iminodipropionic acid (alanopine) Registry number: EC 1.5.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| alcohol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses reversibly the final step of alcoholic fermentation by reducing an aldehyde to an alcohol. In the case of ethanol, acetaldehyde is reduced to ethanol in the presence of NADH and hydrogen. The enzyme is a zinc protein which acts on primary and secondary alcohols or hemiacetals. Chemical name: Alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcohol dehydrogenase (acceptor) | An oxidoreductase that reversibly converts primary alcohols to aldehydes with an H acceptor other than NADP+. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP+) | An oxidoreductase reversibly converting alcohols to aldehydes (or ketones) with NAD(P)+ as H acceptor. Synonym: aldehyde reductase, DPNH aldehyde transhydrogenase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldehyde dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that oxidises an aldehyde in the presence of NAD+ and water to an acid and NADH. Before 1978, it was classified as EC 1.1.1.70. Chemical name: Aldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.2.1.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| aldehyde dehydrogenase (acylating) | An oxidoreductase converting an aldehyde and CoA to acyl-CoA with NAD+ as H acceptor. (05 Mar 2000) |
