|---|---|
| cGRP | calcitonin gene-related peptide |
| CGRPR | calcitonin gene related peptide receptor |
| CLIP | capitolunate instability pattern; corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide |

| receptors, invertebrate peptide | Cell surface receptors for invertebrate peptide hormones or neuropeptides. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| receptors, peptide | Cell surface receptors that bind peptide messengers with high affinity and regulate intracellular signals which influence the behaviour of cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, vasoactive intestinal peptide | Cell surface proteins that bind vasoactive intestinal peptide (vip) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behaviour of cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of 5-oxoprolyl-trna and nh3 from l-glutaminyl-trna; also acts on glutaminyl peptides Registry number: EC 2.3.2.5 Synonym: glutaminyl cyclase, glutaminylpeptide cyclase, glutamine cyclotransferase, glutaminyl-trna cyclotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| peptide | <biochemistry> A compound of two or more amino acids where the alpha carboxyl group of one is bound to the alpha amino group of another. (27 Sep 1997) |
| peptide antibiotic lactonase | <enzyme> Peptide lactone and water gives linear peptide Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| peptide bond | The amide linkage between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another. The linkage does not allow free rotation and can occur in cis or trans configuration, the latter the most common in natural peptides, except for links to the amino group of proline, which are always cis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| peptide chain initiation | The process whereby the formation of a peptide chain is started. This process requires (1) the 30s subunit, (2) the mRNA coding for the polypeptide to be made, (3) met-trnai, (4) initiation factors, and (5) GTP. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peptide chain termination | The process whereby the last amino acid is added to a polypeptide. This termination is signaled by one of three termination triplets in the mRNA, immediately following the last amino acid codon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peptide deformylase | <enzyme> Fms is a zinc-containing protein showing homologies with zinc aminopeptidases; its enzyme function resembles that of an aminopeptidase; has been sequenced; mol mass 19,207 da Registry number: EC 3.4.11.- Synonym: fms protein, fms gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| peptide hormone inactivating endopeptidase | <enzyme> From xenopus laevis; cleaves at xaa-phe, xaa-leu or xaa-ile bonds where xaa = ser, phe, tyr, his or gly in peptide hormones Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: phie, xenopus (26 Jun 1999) |
| peptide hydrolases | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 3.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| peptide library | A collection of cloned free peptides, frequently consisting of all possible combinations of amino acids making up an n-amino acid peptide. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peptide map | Proteases will produce fragments of a characteristic size from a protein and this can be used as a test for the identity or otherwise of two similar sized proteins. It is possible to produce a peptide fragment map from a single gel band. (18 Nov 1997) |
| peptide mapping | Two-dimensional separation and analysis of peptides. (12 Dec 1998) |
