| AL | Amyloid immunoglobulin Light chain protein |
| J chain | <molecular biology> A polypeptide chain (15 kD), found in IgA and in IgM joining heavy chains (H chains) to each other to form dimers of IgA and pentamers of IgM. Disulphide bonds are formed between the J chain and H chains near the Fc ends of the heavy chains. Despite the similar name, it is not identical with the J region or coded for by the J gene. Synonym: J piece. (10 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| kappa chain | <protein> Either of two types of light chains (small polypeptide chains) that are found in immunoglobulins. (09 Oct 1997) |
| 2-methyl branched-chain enoyl-CoA reductase | <enzyme> Important in the reversal of beta-oxidation under anaerobic conditions in ascaris suum Registry number: EC 1.3.1.52 Synonym: 2-methyl bce-CoA reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| lambda chain | <immunology> Although light chains are found in many multimeric proteins, L chain usually refers to the light chains of immunoglobulins. These are of 22 kD and of one of two types, kappa or lambda. A single immunoglobulin has identical light chains (2 kappa or 2 lamda). Light chains have one variable and one constant region. There are isotype variants of both kappa and lamda. (25 Jun 1999) |
| lauric acid in-chain-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Specific for lauric acid; hydroxylates at c-8, c-9 or c-10 of chain Registry number: EC 1.14.14.- Synonym: (cytochrome p-450)-dependent laurate in-chain-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| L chain | <immunology> Although light chains are found in many multimeric proteins, L chain usually refers to the light chains of immunoglobulins. These are of 22 kD and of one of two types, kappa or lambda. A single immunoglobulin has identical light chains (2 kappa or 2 lamda). Light chains have one variable and one constant region. There are isotype variants of both kappa and lamda. (25 Jun 1999) |
| L-chain disease | bence Jones myeloma |
| L-chain myeloma | bence Jones myeloma |
| light chain | <immunology, protein> The lighter of the two types of polypeptide chains that are found in immunoglobulin and antibody molecules. Also used as a non-specific term for the smaller subunits of several multimeric proteins such as immunoglobulin, myosin, dynein, clathrin. (14 Oct 1997) |
| light chain-related amyloidosis | A form of primary amyloidosis in which the fibrillar amyloid deposits are derived from the amino terminal variable region of the light chains of immunoglobulin; seen in B-lymphocyte and plasma-cells dyscrasias. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long chain | In bacteriology, a continuous line of more than eight cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Deficiency may cause some cases of hypoglycaemic 3-hydroxydicarboxylic aciduria Registry number: EC 1.1.1.211 Synonym: l-chad (26 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Flavoprotein; forms with another flavoprotein plus EC 1.5.5.1 a system reducing ubiquinone and other acceptors Registry number: EC 1.3.99.- Synonym: lc-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, long-chain-acyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase, very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, vlcad (26 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain-alcohol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses reversibly the oxidation of a long-chain alcohol in the presence of nad to a long-chain acid anion and NADH Registry number: EC 1.1.1.192 Synonym: fatty alcohol-nad+ oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the final step in biosynthesizing storage liquid waxes from long chain fatty acyl CoA and fatty alcohols; forming predominantly c42 wax esters Registry number: EC 2.3.1.75 Synonym: acyl-coenzyme a-alcohol transacylase, aca transacylase, acyl-CoA-alcohol transacylase, wax-ester synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
