| glycerol-3-phosphate - glucose phosphotransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of glycerol and glucose-6-phosphate Registry number: EC 2.7.1.142 Synonym: gro3p-glucose transphorylase, glycerol 3-phosphate-glucose transphorylase (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that participates in phospholipid biosynthesis, catalyzing the transfer of an acyl group from a fatty acyl-CoA to sn-glycerol-3-phosphate producing coenzyme A and lysophosphatidic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase | Alpha-Glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase; 3-phosphoglycerol dehydrogenase;an oxidoreductase that catalyses the interconversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, with the participation of NAD+; its action provides the glycerol moiety from carbohydrate during lipogenesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycerol-3-phosphate o-acyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that transfers acyl groups from acyl-CoA to glycerol-3-phosphate to form monoglyceride phosphates. It acts only with CoA derivatives of fatty acids of chain length above c-10. Also forms diglyceride phosphates. Chemical name: Acyl-CoA:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 1-O-acyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.15 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 1.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycerone | <chemical> 1,3-dihydroxy-2-propanone. A ketotriose compound. Its addition to blood preservation solutions results in better maintenance of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate levels during storage. It is readily phosphorylated to dihydroxyacetone phosphate by triokinase in erythrocytes. In combination with naphthoquinones it acts as a sunscreening agent. Chemical name: 2-Propanone, 1,3-dihydroxy- (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycerophosphate | The anion of a phosphoric ester of glycerol; the 3-derivative is the central component of phosphatidates (R-glycerol 3-phosphate). Synonym: glycerophosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycerophosphate permease | <chemical> Synonym: sn-glycerol-3-phosphate permease, glpt protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerophosphate shuttle | A mechanism for the transfer of reducing equivalents from the cytosol into the mitochondria; NADH is used to synthesise glycerol 3-phosphate in the cytosol; this compound is then transported into the mitochondria where it is converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) using FAD; DHAP then returns to the cytosol to complete the cycle; found in brain tissue, brown adipose tissue, and white muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycerophosphocholine | HOCH2-CHOH-CH2-OP(O2H)&mdas h;OCH2CH2-[N(CH3)3]+;a component of phosphatidylcholines (lecithins), in which the two OH's of glycerophosphocholine are esterified with fatty acids. Synonym: glycerophosphorylcholine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycerophosphocholine cholinephosphodiesterase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and h2o to glycerol and choline phosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.4.38 Synonym: gpc choline phosphodiesterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> E coli enzyme; acts on variety of substrates to give glycerol-3-phosphate plus an alcohol, such as ethanolamine, choline, glycerol or glycerophosphoglycerol Registry number: EC 3.1.4.46 Synonym: gpde-phosphodiesterase, glycerophosphosphoryl diester phosphodiesterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycerophospholipid | <biochemistry> An amphipathic lipid that has a glycerol backbone. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glycerophosphoric acid | A phosphoric ester of glycerol. See: glycerol phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycerophosphorylcholine | HOCH2-CHOH-CH2-OP(O2H)&mdas h;OCH2CH2-[N(CH3)3]+;a component of phosphatidylcholines (lecithins), in which the two OH's of glycerophosphocholine are esterified with fatty acids. Synonym: glycerophosphorylcholine. (05 Mar 2000) |
