| ES46.5K esterase | <enzyme> Hepatic, microsomal enzyme that catalyses hydrolysis of phthalate esters Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| esterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of organic esters to release an alcohol or thiol and acid. The term could be applied to enzymes that hydrolyse carboxylate, phosphate and sulphate esters, but is more often restricted to the first class of substrate. (18 Nov 1997) |
| juvenile hormone esterase | <enzyme> Amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: jh esterase, insect jhe (26 Jun 1999) |
| feruloyl-4-coumaroyl esterase | <enzyme> From penicillium pinophilum; releases ferulic acid and para-coumaric acid from esterified wheat straw xylan; can also release acetic acid from p-nitrophenyl acetate and from an acetylated xylan; acts synergistically with celluclast Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: fc esterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| feruloyl esterase | <enzyme> Splits ester bond of methyl 5-o-feruloylarabinofuranoside to release ferulic acid; see also record for feruloyl-4-coumaroyl esterase Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: ferulic acid esterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 4-nitrobenzyl esterase | <enzyme> Catalyses the hydrolysis of several beta-lactam p-nitrobenzyl (pnb) esters to the corresponding free acid and pnb alcohol; genbank u06089 Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: p-nitrobenzyl esterase, pnb carboxy-esterase, pnbce, pnba protein, pnba gene product (26 Jun 1999) |

| acidophilic leukocyte | A polymorphonuclear leukocyte characterised by many large or prominent, refractile, cytoplasmic granules that are fairly uniform in size and bright yellow-red or orange when treated with Wright's or similar stains; the nuclei are usually larger than those of neutrophils, do not stain as deeply, and characteristically have two lobes (a third lobe is sometimes interposed on the connecting strand of chromatin); these leukocyte's are motile phagocytes with distinctive antiparasitic functions. Synonym: acidophilic leukocyte, eosinocyte, eosinophil, eosinophile, oxyphil, oxyphile, oxyphilic leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| agranular leukocyte | <haematology> A general, non-specific term frequently used with reference to lymphocytes, monocytes, and plasma cells; although the cytoplasm of a lymphocyte or monocyte contains tiny granules, it is nongranular in comparison with that of a neutrophil, basophil, or eosinophil. See: leukocyte. Synonym: agranular leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| automated differential leukocyte counter | An instrument using digital imaging or cytochemical techniques to differentiate leukocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basophilic leukocyte | A polymorphonuclear leukocyte characterised by many large, coarse, metachromatic granules (dark purple or blue-black when treated with Wright's or similar stains) that usually fill the cytoplasm and may almost mask the nucleus; these leukocyte's are unique in that they usually do not occur in increased numbers as the result of acute infectious disease, and their phagocytic qualities are probably not significant; the granules, which contain heparin and histamine, may degranulate in response to hypersensitivity reactions and can be of significance in general inflammation. Synonym: basocyte, basophilocyte, mast leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
