| glucolipids | Glycosphingolipids that contain d-glucose. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| glucolysis | <biochemistry> The conversion of a monosaccharide (generally glucose) to pyruvate via the glycolytic pathway (i.e. The Embden Meyerhof Parnas pathway) in the cytosol. Generates ATP without consuming oxygen and is thus anaerobic. Origin: Gr. Lysis = dissolution (18 Nov 1997) |
| glucomannan | <plant biology> Hemicellulosic plant cell wall polysaccharide containing glucose and mannose linked by _(1-4) glycosidic bonds. May contain some side chains of galactose, in which case it may be termed galactoglucomannan. A major polysaccharide of gymnosperm wood (softwood). (18 Nov 1997) |
| gluconate 5-dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of gluconic acid to 5-ketogluconic acid; genbank x80019(gno) Registry number: EC 1.1.1.69 Synonym: gluconate-nadp 5-oxidoreductase, gno dehydrogenase, gno gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| gluconate permease | <chemical> Gntp(bs) isolated from bacillus subtilis Chemical name: permease, gluconate Synonym: gntp gene product, gntp(bs) gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| gluconeogeneis | <biochemistry> The synthesis of a carbohydrate from simple non-carbohydrade precursor molecules such as pyruvate. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gluconeogenesis | <biochemistry> Synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors, such as pyruvate, amino acids and glycerol. Takes place largely in liver and serves to maintain blood glucose under conditions of starvation or intense exercise. (18 Nov 1997) |
| gluconic | Pertaining to, or derived from, glucose. <chemistry> Gluconic acid, an organic acid, obtained as a colourless, sirupy liquid, by the oxidation of glucose. Synonym: maltonic acid, and dextronic acid. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| gluconic acid | <biochemistry> An acid with the chemical formula C6H12O7. at room temperature, it is a colourless crystal, it melts at 131 degrees Celsius. It can be made by the oxidation of glucose. It will dissolve in water and alcohols. It is used in pharmaceuticals and some food products, as a cleanser, and as a catalyst in textile printing. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gluconokinase | <enzyme> Gntk(bs) isolated from bacillus subtilis Registry number: EC 2.7.1.12 Synonym: gluconate kinase, gntk gene product, gntk(bs) gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| gluconolactonase | <enzyme> Aldonolactonase (formerly EC 3.1.1.18) was combined with this Registry number: EC 3.1.1.17 Synonym: aldonolactonase, gulonolactone hydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glucooligosaccharide oxidase | <enzyme> Oxidises oligosaccharides with glucose on the reducing end and each sugar residue joined by an alpha- or beta-1,4 glucosidic bond; active on maltose, lactose, cellobiose and maltose derivatives up to seven residues Registry number: EC 1.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| glucopenia | Synonym: hypoglycaemia. Origin: Gluco-+ G. Penia, poverty (05 Mar 2000) |
| glucoplastic | Giving rise to or producing glucose. Synonym: glucoplastic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glucoprotein | A glycoprotein in which the sugar is glucose. (05 Mar 2000) |
