| cranial mononeuropathy III | (compression type) A disorder involving vision changes and eyelid drooping associated with a decreased functioning of cranial nerve III. Damage is usually caused by compression of the nerves from localised lesions or a swelling in the area of the nerve. Examples include cerebral aneurysms and tumours Symptoms include a drooping eyelid and double vision. (diabetic type) A disorder involving vision changes and eyelid drooping associated with a decreased functioning of cranial nerve III as a complication of diabetes. Symptoms include a drooping eyelid and double vision. Good control of blood sugars can reduce the incidence of this complication. (27 Sep 1997) |

| cranial nerve III | <anatomy, nerve> The occulomotor nerve is responsible for motor enervation of upper eyelid muscle, extraocular muscle and pupillary muscle. Lesions of the oculomotor nerve results in ptosis (dropping eyelid), deviation of the eyeball outward, double vision and a dilated pupil. Synonym: cranial nerve III. (27 Sep 1997) |
| processus styloideus ossis metacarpalis III | A pointed projection from the dorsolateral angle of the base of the third metacarpal bone; it sometimes exists as a separate ossicle. Synonym: processus styloideus ossis metacarpalis III. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Hind III | <enzyme, molecular biology> Commonly used type II restriction endonuclease isolated from Haemophilus influenzae, it cleaves the sequence AAGCTT between the two As thus generating sticky ends. (18 Nov 1997) |
| HTLV-III | <abbreviation> Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III. See: human immunodeficiency virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| NADH-Fe(III)EDTA oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From cryptococcus albidus; catalyses the formation of nad+ and fe(ii)edta from NADH and fe(iii)edta; forms ethylene from 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutyric acid Registry number: EC 1.6.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| Sudan III | A red stain, (C6H5)N==N(C6H4)N==N(C10H6)OH, used for neutral fat in histologic technique; it also stains the fatty envelope of the tubercle bacillus. Synonym: Sudan red III. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sudan red III | A red stain, (C6H5)N==N(C6H4)N==N(C10H6)OH, used for neutral fat in histologic technique; it also stains the fatty envelope of the tubercle bacillus. Synonym: Sudan red III. (05 Mar 2000) |
| DNA polymerase III | <enzyme> An enzyme that aids in DNA replication. It has a number of different functions, such as: proofreading newly replicated DNA, removing nucleotides from the 3' end of the strand one by one, and binding nucleotides from the 5' end of the strand. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ductus pharyngobranchialis III | A narrow communication between the third branchial pouch and the pharynx in the embryo. (05 Mar 2000) |
| exonuclease III | An exonuclease enzyme which removes nucleotides one at a time from the 5'-end of duplex DNA which does not have a phosphorylated 3'-end. (09 Oct 1997) |
| factor III | In the clotting of blood, tissue factor or thromboplastin; it initiates the extrinsic pathway by reacting with factor VII and calcium to form factor VIIa. See: thromboplastin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uroporphyrin-III C-methyltransferase | <enzyme> From pseudomonas denitrificans; enzyme of the cobalamin biosynthetic pathway which catalyses the c methylation of uroporphyrinogen III; also catalyses both nad+ dependent oxidation of precorrin-2 to sirohydrochlorin and insertion of iron into it to produce siroheme; cysg gene is from E coli; product of coba gene of pseudomonas; do not confuse with coba gene product of salmonella typhimurium which yields ATP-corrinoid adenosyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.1.1.107 Synonym: uroiii methyltransferase, uroporphyrinogen III methylase, sumt methyltransferase, s-adenosylmethionine-uroporphyrinogen III methyltransferase, cysg gene product, siroheme synthase, coba gene product, propionibacterium (26 Jun 1999) |
| forms of DNA i, II and III | Refers to circular DNA removed from viruses and as plasmids. Form I is the DNA in its normal, supercoiled form. Form II is the DNA after one of the two strands has been nicked (cut apart), and is circular. Form III is the DNA after both strands have been broken, and is linear. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Le Fort III craniofacial dysjunction | A complex fracture in which the facial bones are separated from the cranial bones. Synonym: Le Fort III craniofacial dysjunction, Le Fort III fracture, transverse facial fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
