| trans-pentaprenyltranstransferase | <enzyme> From micrococcus luteus b-p26; composed of 2 components; requires all-trans farnesyl or all-trans-geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate Registry number: EC 2.5.1.33 Synonym: all-trans-hexaprenylpyrophosphate synthase, hexaprenyldiphosphate synthetase, trans-pentaprenyltransferase, hexaprenylpyrophosphate synthetase (26 Jun 1999) |

| trans-retinal | The orange retinaldehyde resulting from the action of light on the rhodopsin of the retina, which converts the 11-cis-retinal component of the rhodopsin to all-trans-retinal plus opsin. Synonym: trans-retinal, visual yellow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trans splicing | <molecular biology> Relating to RNA splicing of two different pre mRNA molecules together. Seems to rely on intron like sequences. Contrasts with the normal cis splicing of conventional RNA molecules. (19 Jan 1998) |
| trans-splicing | Formation of spliced products containing portions of two different transcripts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| monounsaturated fatty acids | A fatty acid chain with at least two empty spaces that could be hydrogenated (have a hydrogen atom added). Saturated (hydrogenated) fatty acids are a greater health risk for the development of atherosclerotic vascular disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| saturated fatty acids | In eukaryotic membranes refers to stearic, palmitic and myristic acids, that are linear aliphatic chains with no double bonds. Prokaryotes have numerous branched chain saturated fatty acids. (18 Nov 1997) |
| omega 3 fatty acids | A class of fatty acids that have a double bond three carbons from the methyl moiety; reportedly, they play a role in lowering cholesterol and LDL levels. Synonym: omega-3 fatty acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty | Containing fat, or having the qualities of fat; greasy; gross; as, a fatty substance. <medicine> Fatty acid, a tumour consisting of fatty or adipose tissue; lipoma. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| fatty acids | Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (fatty acids, unsaturated). (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, essential | Fatty acids that cannot be synthesised by the human body and must be obtained from dietary sources, e.g., linoleic acids and linolenic acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, monounsaturated | Fatty acids which are unsaturated in only one position. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, nonesterified | The fraction of plasma fatty acids that are not in the form of glycerol esters. They are also called free fatty acids, but this is a misnomer because they are transported complexed with albumin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, omega-3 | A group of fatty acids, often of marine origin, which have the first unsaturated bond in the third position from the omega carbon. These fatty acids are believed to reduce serum triglycerides, prevent insulin resistance, improve lipid profile, prolong bleeding times, reduce platelet counts, and decrease platelet adhesiveness. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, unsaturated | Fatty acids containing one (monounsaturated) or multiple (polyunsaturated) double bonds. They predominate in most plant-derived fats. The number and position of each double bond can be specified, as in the systematic names, or the position of the double bond closest to the methyl group (omega) terminus can be specified to denote functional subdivisions of the overall group, e.g., omega-3 fatty acids. The numbers and positions of the double bonds have been linked to effects on plasma lipid, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, volatile | Short-chain fatty acids of up to six carbon atoms in length. They are the major end products of microbial fermentation in the ruminant digestive tract and have also been implicated in the causation of neurological diseases in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
