| vacuolar calcium ATPase | <enzyme> Isolated from saccharomyces cerevisiae; genbank u36603 Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: h(+)-ca(2+)-atpase, vacuolar (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| pentetate trisodium calcium | The calcium trisodium salt of pentetic acid. Synonym: calcium trisodium pentetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ryanodine receptor calcium release channel | Protein complexes that mediate the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in both skeletal and cardiac muscle cells by forming tetrametric complexes. These complexes each then act as a calcium channel. There are three isoforms of the ryr: ryr1, ryr2, and ryr3. Ryr1 is specifically expressed in skeletal muscles and ryr2 in cardiac muscles. Ryr3 is yet another isoform found in non-muscle cells such as neuronal cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| citrated calcium carbimide | A mixture of two parts citric acid to one part calcium carbimide; in the metabolism of ethanol, it slows the conversion of acetaldehyde to acetate; used in the treatment of alcoholism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| milk of calcium | Densely calcified fluid, most often found radiographically in the gallbladder in association with chronic obstruction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| piperazine calcium edetate | (ethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid piperazine calcium salt;an anthelmintic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| placental calcium-binding protein | <protein> Calcium binding protein of placenta, uterus and vasculature containing the EF hand motif. (18 Nov 1997) |
| crude calcium sulfide | Used externally in the treatment of acne, scabies, and ringworm. Synonym: sulfurated lime. (05 Mar 2000) |
| precipitated calcium carbonate | CaCO3;used as an antacid in the management of peptic ulcers and other conditions of gastric hyperacidity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary calcium phosphate | CaHPO4-2H2O;used as a calcium and phosphorus dietary supplement. Synonym: calcium monohydrogen phosphate, secondary calcium phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sodium-calcium exchanger | An electrogenic ion exchange protein that maintains a steady level of calcium by removing an amount of calcium equal to that which enters the cells. It is widely distributed in most excitable membranes, including the brain and heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| deficiency, calcium | A low blood calcium (hypocalcaemia). Hypocalcaemia makes the nervous system highly irritable with tetany (spasms of the hands and feet, muscle cramps, abdominal cramps, overly active reflexes, etc.). Chronic calcium deficiency contributes to poor mineralization of bones, soft bones (osteomalacia) and osteoporosis; and, in children, rickets and impaired growth. Food sources of calcium include dairy foods, some leafy green vegetables such as broccoli and collards, canned salmon, clams, oysters, calcium-fortified foods, and tofu. According to the National Academy of Sciences, adequate intake of calcium is 1 gram daily for both men and women. The upper limit for calcium intake is 2.5 grams daily. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dibasic calcium phosphate | CaHPO4-2H2O;used as a calcium and phosphorus dietary supplement. Synonym: calcium monohydrogen phosphate, secondary calcium phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dioctyl calcium sulfosuccinate | Calcium salt of bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate;a surface-active agent used in the treatment of constipation as a nonlaxative faecal softener. Synonym: dioctyl calcium sulfosuccinate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| docusate calcium | Calcium salt of bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate;a surface-active agent used in the treatment of constipation as a nonlaxative faecal softener. Synonym: dioctyl calcium sulfosuccinate. (05 Mar 2000) |
