| 3-oxoacid-CoA transferase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing the reversible conversion of acetoacetyl-CoA and succinate into succinyl-CoA and acetoacetate; malonyl-CoA can substitute for succinyl-CoA and a few other 3-oxo acids for the acetoacetate; an important step in order for the ketone bodies to serve as a fuel for extrahepatic tissues. Synonym: 3-ketoacid-CoA transferase, acetoacetyl-succinic thiophorase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 4-hydroxybutyrate CoA-transferase | <enzyme> Forms 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA from 4-hydroxybutyrate and acetyl-CoA Registry number: EC 2.8.3.- Synonym: 4-hydroxybutyrate coenzyme a transferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 4''-mycarosyl isovaleryl-coenzyme A transferase | <enzyme> Carries out 4"-o-acylation of macrolide antibiotic on the 4"-hydroxy moiety of mycarose; acyb1 isolated from streptomyces thermotolerans; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: care protein, acyb1 protein, 4''-mycarosyl isovaleryl-CoA transferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 5-hydroxyvalerate CoA-transferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA from 5-hydroxyvalerate and acetyl-CoA; also acts on propionate and 5-hydroxy-2-pentenoate Registry number: EC 2.8.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| formyl-coenzyme A transferase | <enzyme> From oxalbacter formigenes; has been sequenced; genbank u82167 Registry number: EC 2.8.3.- Synonym: formyl-CoA transferase, frc gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| lecithin-cholesterol transferase | A plasma enzyme that catalyses the uptake of cholesterol esters by intermediate-density lipoproteins formed by high density lipoproteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fucosyl transferase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalysing the transfer of fucosyl residues from the nucleotide sugar GDP fucose. (18 Nov 1997) |
| absolute terminal innervation ratio | The number of motor endplates divided by the number of terminal axons related to them. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amino-terminal | <biochemistry> The end of a protein or polypeptide chain with the unattached amino group or the aminoacyl residue containing it. Each amino acid in the chain has an amino group on one side, which is attached to the carboxyl group (COOH group) of the previous amino acid, and a carboxyl group on the other side (which is attached to the amino group of the next amino acid). The other end of the polypeptide chain is called the carboxyl terminal. Synonym: NH2-terminal. (14 Aug 2000) |
| amino-terminal residue | <biochemistry> The only amino acid residue in a polypeptide chain that has a free alpha-amino group, it defines the amino terminus of the polypeptide. (09 Oct 1997) |
| axonal terminal boutons | The somewhat enlarged, often club-shaped endings by which axons make synaptic contacts with other nerve cells or with effector cells (muscle or gland cells). As isolated, by homogenizing brain or spinal cord, they contain acetylcholine and the related enzymes. Terminals contain neurotransmitters of various kinds, sometimes more than one. These can be demonstrated by chemical analysis and immunocytochemical methods. See: synapse. Synonym: axonal terminal boutons, end-feet, neuropodia, pieds terminaux, synaptic boutons, synaptic endings, synaptic terminals, terminal boutons, bouton terminaux. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carboxyl terminal | The end of a polypeptide chain with the unattached carboxyl group (a -COOH group). Each amino acid in the middle of the chain has an amino group (a -NH2 group) on one side (which is attached to the carboxyl group of the previous amino acid) and a carboxyl group on the other side (which is attached to the amino group of the next amino acid). The other end of the polypeptide chain is called the amino terminal. (09 Oct 1997) |
