| C type lectin | <cell biology> One of two classes of lectin produced by animal cells, the other being the S type. The C type lectins require disulphide linked cysteines and Ca ions in order to bind to a specific carbohydrate (c.f. S type lectins). The carbohydrate recognition domain of C type lectins consists of about 130 amino acids which contains 18 invariant residues in a highly conserved pattern. These invariant residues include cysteines which probably form disulphide bonds. So far, all identified C type lectins are extracellular proteins and include both Integral membrane proteins, such as the asialoglycoprotein receptor and soluble proteins. (06 Aug 1998) |

| C type virus | <molecular biology, virology> Originally C type particles identified in mouse tumour tissue and later shown to be oncogenic RNA viruses Oncovirinae) that bud from the plasma membrane of the host cell starting as a characteristic electron dense crescent. Include feline leukaemia virus, murine leukaemia and sarcoma viruses. (18 Nov 1997) |
| haemophilus influenzae type b | The majority of type b isolates are from biotype I. The organism can cause life-threatening meningitis, primarily in children 6-12 months of age. Children with underlying disease or immunodeficiency are also at high risk for infection. A vaccine is available and recommended for children under 5 years of age. (12 Dec 1998) |

| protoporphyrinogen type III | The immediate precursor of protoporphyrin III in haem biosynthesis; elevated in cases of variegate porphyria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protoporphyrinogen type III oxidase | A mitochondrial enzyme that uses O2 to convert protoporphyrinogen type III to protoporphyrin type III in haem biosynthesis; a deficiency of this enzyme is associated with variegate porphyria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protoporphyrin type III | 2,7,12,18-Tetramethyl-3,8-divinylporphin-13,17dipropionic acid;the principal protoporphyrin found in nature (one of 15 possible isomers), characterised by the presence of 4 methyl groups, 2 vinyl groups, and 2 propionic acid side chains; a porphyrin derivative that, with iron, forms the haem of haemoglobin and the prosthetic groups of myoglobin, catalase, cytochromes, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| P-type ATPase | <enzyme> One of three major classes of ion transport ATPases, characterised by vanadate sensitivity and a phosphorylated intermediate. The archetype is the sodium pump. See: F-type ATPase, V-type ATPase. (18 Nov 1997) |
