| pyruvate metabolism, inborn errors | Hereditary disorders of pyruvate metabolism. They are difficult to diagnose and describe because pyruvate is a key intermediate in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Some inherited metabolic disorders may alter pyruvate metabolism indirectly. Disorders in pyruvate metabolism appear to lead to deficiencies in neurotransmitter synthesis and, consequently, to nervous system disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the reaction of ATP, pyruvate, and orthophosphate to form AMP plus phosphoenolpyruvate plus pyrophosphate. Chemical name: ATP:pyruvate, orthophosphate phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.9.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| pyruvate oxidase | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 1.2.3.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| pyruvate oxidation factor | <biochemistry> 1,2 dithiolane 3 valeric acid. Regarded as a coenzyme in the oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex of the citric acid cycle. Involved generally in oxidative decarboxylations of _ keto acids. A growth factor for some organisms. (18 Nov 1997) |
| enol pyruvate | CH2==C(OH)-COO-un, the form of pyruvate encountered in the biologically important phosphoenolpyruvate (enol pyruvate phosphate), not in the free form. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ketal pyruvate transferase | <enzyme> Involves the transfer of the pyruvyl residue from phosphoenolpyruvate to the external mannose of pentasaccharide diphosphate lipid Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| kynurenine-pyruvate aminotransferase | <enzyme> Found in rat kidney and brain; forms kynurenic acid from kynurenine; pyruvate, 2-keto-n-valerate, 2-keto-n-caproate, 2-keto-isocaproate and oxaloacetate are good acceptors Registry number: EC 2.6.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetyl CoA carboxylase phosphatase | <enzyme> Phosphatase occurs in complex with the carboxylase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: acc-phosphatase, acetyl coenzyme a carboxylase phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acid phosphatase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of an orthophosphoric monoester and water to an alcohol and orthophosphate. Chemical name: Orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (acid optimum) Registry number: EC 3.1.3.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| acid phosphatase test for semen | A screening test for semen by determining acid phosphatase content; because seminal fluid contains high concentrations of acid phosphatase, while other body fluids and extraneous foreign materials have very low concentrations, high values of acid phosphatase on vaginal aspirate or lavage, or on wash fluid from stains, render positive identification of semen, even if the male is aspermic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alkaline phosphatase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the cleavage of inorganic phosphate non-specifically from a wide variety of phosphate esters and having a high (greater than 8) pH optimum. Found in bacteria, fungi and animals but not in higher plants. (18 Nov 1997) |
| PAC1 phosphatase | <enzyme> An immediate-early mitogen-inducible tyrosine phosphatase; a map kinase phosphatase; amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: pac-1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| galactose-1-phosphatase | <enzyme> From rat brain; requires mg for activity; phosphate is potent inhibitor Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| CD45 phosphatase | <enzyme> Reverses glycoprotein cd3-induced microtubule-associated protein-2 kinase activity in jurkat t-cells Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: glycoprotein-cd45 phosphatase, cd45 ptpase, cd45 phosphotyrosine phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
