| copper sulfate | <chemical> The pentahydrate sulfate salt of copper. It is a powerful emetic and used orally as an antidote to phosphorus poisoning. Topical application of a 1 per cent solution is used in the treatment of phosphorus burns of the skin. It is also used as a catalyst with iron in the treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia. In 1:1,000,000 concentration it is used to prevent growth of algae in ponds, reservoirs, and swimming pools. Pharmacological action: antidotes, emetics, fungicides, industrial. (12 Dec 1998) |

| copper sulfate method | A method for the determination of specific gravity of blood or plasma in which the blood or plasma is delivered by drops into solutions of copper sulfate graded in specific gravity by increments of 0.004, each of the bottles of solution being within the expected range of the blood or plasma sample; the specific gravity of the copper sulfate solution in which the drop of blood or plasma remains suspended indefinitely indicates the specific gravity of the sample.

| polymyxin B sulfate | An antibacterial effective in tularaemia, brucellosis, Pseudomonas infections, and urinary tract infections, but used systemically only for severe infections not responsive to less toxic agents; it is also used locally. Polymyxin B is a mixture of polymyxin B1 and polymyxin B2. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polysaccharide sulfate esters | Sulfate esters of polysaccharides often found in cell walls. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cupric sulfate | CuSo4-5H2O;it is highly poisonous to algae, is a prompt and active emetic, and is used as an irritant, astringent, and fungicide. Synonym: copper sulfate, copper sulphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| potassium sulfate | K2SO4;an obsolete laxative. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proflavine (hemi)sulfate | The neutral sulfate of 3,6-diaminoacridine; a compound closely allied to acriflavine, having similar antiseptic properties. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heparan sulfate | <chemical> Heparitin, sulfate. A glycosaminoglycan occurring in the liver, aorta, and lung. It has a structure similar to heparin, but there are more n-acetyl groups and fewer o- and n-sulfate groups. It is an accumulation product in several mucopolysaccharidoses. Chemical name: Heparitin, sulfate (12 Dec 1998) |
| heparan-sulfate 2-sulfotransferase | <enzyme> An o-sulfotransferase that catalyses transfer of sulfate from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate to l-iduronic acid at position 2 of heparan sulfate; genbank d88811 Registry number: EC 2.8.2.- Synonym: hs2st enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| heparan sulfate D-glucosaminyl 3-O-sulfotransferase | <enzyme> Involved in biosynthesis of heparan sulfate proteoglycans Registry number: EC 2.8.2.- Synonym: hsg 3-o-sulfotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| heparan sulfate-N-deacetylase-N-sulfotransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses both the n-deacetylation and the n-sulfation reactions that begin modification of heparan sulfate's oligosaccharide backbone Registry number: EC 2.8.2.- Synonym: hs-ndac-nst (26 Jun 1999) |
| heparan sulfate proteoglycan | Ubiquitous macromolecules associated with the cell surface and extracellular matrix of a wide range of cells of vertebrate and invertebrate tissues. They are essential cofactors in cell-matrix adhesion processes, in cell-cell recognition systems, and in receptor-growth factor interactions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heparan sulfate sulfatase | <enzyme> Probable defect in sanfilippo a syndrome Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- Synonym: heparan sulphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| heparitin sulfate | <chemical> Heparitin, sulfate. A glycosaminoglycan occurring in the liver, aorta, and lung. It has a structure similar to heparin, but there are more n-acetyl groups and fewer o- and n-sulfate groups. It is an accumulation product in several mucopolysaccharidoses. Chemical name: Heparitin, sulfate (12 Dec 1998) |
| heparosan N-sulfate D-glucuronosyl 5-epimerase | <enzyme> Converts d-glucuronic acid to l-iduronic at the polymer level during synthesis of heparin Registry number: EC 5.1.3.17 Synonym: uronosyl c-5 epimerase, d-glucuronyl c-5 epimerase (26 Jun 1999) |
