| 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) |

| bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate esterase | <enzyme> Catalyses cleavage of the mass produced plasticiser, dehp Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: dehp esterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| brefeldin A esterase | <enzyme> Hydrolyzes brefeldin a to brefeldin a acid and also hydrolyzes ethyl valerate; 372 amino acids; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| butyrylcholine esterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine tostop its action. (22 May 1997) |
| C1 esterase | The activated first component of complement (C1). (05 Mar 2000) |
| C1 esterase inhibitor | An a2-neuraminoglycoprotein that inhibits the enzymatic activity of C1 esterase, the activated first component of complement. A deficiency of this inhibitor results in a lack of inhibition of C1r and C1s leading to uncontrolled activation of the complement cascade and oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
