| Embden ester | Hexose phosphate;a mixture of d-glucose-6-phosphate and d-fructose 6-phosphate; significant in the understanding of sugar metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tosylarginine methyl ester | <chemical> N(2)-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-l-arginine, methyl ester. Arginine derivative which is a substrate for many proteolytic enzymes. As a substrate for the esterase from the first component of complement, it inhibits the action of c(l) on c(4). Chemical name: L-Arginine, N2-((4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl)-, methyl ester (12 Dec 1998) |
| tosylarginine methyl ester hydrolase | <enzyme> Protease from sea urchin (arbacia punctulata) eggs; fertilization in the sea urchin is accompanied by the release of this protease from eggs into the surrounding seawater; enzyme uses tame as substrate; used as a measure of trypsin-like activity; tryptase (formerly here) is mast cell tryptase (EC 3.4.21.59) Registry number: EC 3.4.- Synonym: tame hydrolase, tame esterase, esterase a2, n-tosyl-l-arginine methyl ester esterase, tamase, tamase-1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| ester | <chemistry> A general term for any organic molecule produced by combining an acid with an alcohol. A derivative of carboxylic acid (acid with a carboxyl group -COOH) which has the general formula RCOOR, where the R's stand for the same or different aliphatic groups (alkyl groups), aromatic groups (aryl groups), or hydrogen ions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| tyrosine-ester sulfotransferase | <enzyme> Also acts on phenols and organic hydroxylamines Registry number: EC 2.8.2.9 Synonym: arylsulfotransferase iv (26 Jun 1999) |
| fatty acid 2-chloroethyl ester synthase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of 2-chloroethyl esters of long-chain fatty acids; localised in the microsomal fraction of rat liver Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: facees, 2-chloroethyl ester synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| fatty acyl ethyl ester synthase | <enzyme> Myocardial enzyme; esterifies free fatty acids in the absence of ATP and coenzyme a; the fatty acid ethyl ester synthase III has homology with glutathione s-transferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: fatty acid ethyl ester synthase, fatty acid ethyl ester synthase III, faee synthase, faees-iii gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| 7-hydroxycoumarinyl ester hyrolase | <enzyme> A recombinant cytosolic phospholipase a2 that not only possesses pla2 and lyso-pl activities, but also hydrolyzes simple fatty acid esters of 7-hydroxycoumarin Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: 7-hcease (26 Jun 1999) |
