| tyrosine transaminase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of l-tyrosine and 2-oxoglutarate to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate and l-glutamate. It is a pyridoxal-phosphate protein. L-phenylalanine can act instead of l-tyrosine. The mitochondrial enzyme may be identical with aspartate transaminase (ec 2.6.1.1.). Chemical name: L-Tyrosine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase Registry number: EC 2.6.1.5 (12 Dec 1998) |

| tyrosine-trna ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that activates tyrosine with its specific transfer RNA. Chemical name: L-Tyrosine:tRNA-(Tyr) ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| L-tyrosine ammonia-lyase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of tyrosine to trans-p-coumaric acid and ammonia Registry number: EC 4.3.1.- Synonym: tyrosine ammonia-lyase (26 Jun 1999) |
| lymphocyte specific protein tyrosine kinase p56(lck) | <enzyme> This enzyme is a lymphoid specific src family tyrosine kinase that is critical for T-cell development and activation. Lck is associated with the cytoplasmic domains of CD4, CD8 and the beta-chain of the il-2 receptor, and is thought to be involved in the earliest steps of tcr-mediated T-cell activation. Registry number: EC 2.7.11.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| active treatment | A therapeutic substance or course intended to ameliorate the basic disease problem, as opposed to supportive or palliative treatment. Compare: causal treatment. (05 Mar 2000) |

| palliative treatment | <oncology> Treatment to relieve symptoms of the disease but not to cure it. Frequently takes the form of making the patient more comfortable through pain management. (16 Dec 1997) |
| maintenance treatment | Treatment given for a period of months or years to maintain remission and eliminate any residual leukaemic cells in the body, usually for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. (13 Nov 1997) |

| causal treatment | Treatment aimed at reversing the causal factor in a disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glaucoma treatment | A laser beam of light is focused on the part of the anterior chamber where the fluid leaves the eye. This results in a series of small changes, which makes it easier for fluid to exit the eye. Over time, the effect of laser surgery may wear off. Patients who have this form of surgery may need to keep taking glaucoma drugs. Although glaucoma cannot be cured, it can usually be controlled. Medical treatment can be in the form of eyedrops or pills. Some drugs are designed to reduce pressure by slowing the flow of fluid into the eye, while others help to improve fluid drainage. The regular use of medications usually controls the increased fluid pressure. However, these drugs may stop working over time or they may cause side effects so that the eye care professional may select other drugs, change the dose, or use other means to deal with the glaucoma. Surgery can also help fluid escape from the eye and thereby reduce the pressure. However, surgery is now usually reserved for patients whose pressure cannot be controlled with eyedrops, pills, or laser surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| medical treatment | Treatment of disease by hygienic and pharmacologic remedies, as distinguished from invasive surgical procedures. (05 Mar 2000) |
