| antiberiberi factor | Synonym: thiamin. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| anti-black-tongue factor | A precursor of NAD, that is a product of the oxidation of nicotine. (18 Nov 1997) |
| anticomplementary factor | A factor that interferes with the action or function of complement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antidermatitis factor | <chemical> Chemical name: beta-Alanine, N-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutyl)-, (R)- (12 Dec 1998) |
| antihemophilic factor A | A coagulation (clotting) factor. Classic haemophilia (haemophilia A) is due to a congenital deficiency in the amount (or activity) of factor VIII. Factor VIII is also known as antihemophiliac factor (AHF) or antihemophiliac globulin (AHG). The gene for factor VIII (that for classic haemophilia) is on the X chromosome so females can be silent carriers without symptoms and males can be haemophiliacs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antihemophilic factor B | <chemical> Storage-stable blood coagulation factor acting in the intrinsic pathway. Its activated form, ixa, forms a complex with factor viii and calcium on platelet factor 3 to activate factor x to xa. Deficiency of factor ix results in christmas disease (haemophilia b). Chemical name: Blood-coagulation factor IX (12 Dec 1998) |
| antihemorrhagic factor | <biochemistry> A fat soluble vitamin that plays an important role in blood clotting. (27 Sep 1997) |
| antineuritic factor | A member of the water-soluble B vitamin group, necessary for energy production and carbohydrate metabolism. Deficiency is known as beriberi. (27 Sep 1997) |
| antinuclear factor | A factor, usually antibodies, present in serum with strong affinity for nuclei and detected by fluorescent antibody technique; present in lupus erythematosus, rheumatic arthritis, and certain other autoimmune conditions; may also be present at lower levels in normal individuals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antipellagra factor | A precursor of NAD, that is a product of the oxidation of nicotine. (18 Nov 1997) |
| antipernicious anaemia factor | <biochemistry> Member of the water soluble B vitamin group, important in the proper function of the nervous system and important in proper carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. (27 Sep 1997) |
| antisterility factor | <biochemistry> Functions as an antioxidant, binds oxygen free radicals that can cause tissue damage, may also play a protective role in the coronary arteries from the damaging effects of cholesterol. (27 Sep 1997) |
| antitermination factor | <molecular biology> A gene regulatory protein that blocks signals for the transcription process to stop as a form of regulatory control over whatever the gene being transcribed is coding for. (13 Jan 1998) |
| atrial natriuretic factor | <chemical> A potent natriuretic and vasodilatory peptide or mixture of different-sized low molecular weight peptides derived from a common precursor and secreted by the heart atria. All these peptides share a sequence of about 20 amino acids. Chemical name: Atriopeptin (12 Dec 1998) |
| attenuation factor | <radiobiology> A measure of the opacity of a layer of material for radiation transversing it, the ratio of the incident intensity to the transmitted intensity. It is equal to Io/I, where Io and I are the intensities of the incident and emergent radiation, respectively. In the usual sense of exponential absorption (I = Ioe- m x), the attenuation factor is e- m x, where x is the thickness of the material and m is the absorption coefficient. (16 Dec 1997) |
