| cyclin-dependent kinases | Protein kinases that control cell cycle progression in all eukaryotes and require physical association with cyclins to achieve full enzymatic activity. Cyclin-dependent kinases are regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| cyclin E-dependent kinase | <chemical> Synonym: cyce-h1k, cyce-dependent h1 kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cytochrome P-450-dependent digitoxin 12beta-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Isolated from digitalis lantata cell cultures Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: digitoxin 12beta-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| S-adenosylmethionine-dependent phosphate methyltransferase | <enzyme> A membrane-bound, phosphorylated oligosaccharide-specific enzyme that selectively methylates the phosphate group of mannose-6-phosphate Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: adomet-dependent phosphate methyltransferase, adomet-po4 methyltransferase, mannose-6-phosphate methyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| NADH-dependent hydroxypyruvate reductase | <enzyme> Photorespiratory enzyme localised in leaf peroxisomes; from cucumber cotyledons Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: ndh-reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| NAD(P)+-dependent cholesterol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Oxidises the 3 beta-oh group of cholesterol to cholestenone in the presence of NADP+ Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: NADP+-dc-dehydrogenase, cholesterol 3-dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| NADP-dependent flavonol reductase | <enzyme> Isolated from maise Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: a1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| NADP+-dependent serine dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses the oxidation of the hydroxyl group of ser to form 2-aminomalonate saemialdehyde; from agrobacterium tumefaciens. Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: nadp+ ser dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| state-dependent learning | Learning during a specific state of sleep or wakefulness, or during a chemically altered state, where retrieval of learned information (e.g., as measured by performance of a learned response) cannot be demonstrated unless the subject is restored to the state that originally existed during learning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neoplasms, hormone-dependent | Certain tumours that 1) arise in organs that are normally dependent on specific hormones and 2) are stimulated or caused to regress by manipulation of the endocrine environment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus | <disease> An often mild form of diabetes mellitus of gradual onset, usually in obese individuals over age 35; absolute plasma insulin levels are normal to high, but relatively low in relation to plasma glucose levels; ketoacidosis is rare, but hyperosmolar coma can occur; responds well to dietary regulation and/or oral hypoglycaemic agents, but diabetic complications and degenerative changes can develop. (05 Mar 2000) |
| density-dependent | <epidemiology> 1. Effects whose intensity changes with increasing population density. 2. Effects whose intensity increases with increasing population density, for example a mortality which becomes very high near a carrying capacity. Effects which become less pronounced at higher population sizes (perhaps the reduction in fecundity caused by the difficulty of mating) are sometimes called inverse density dependent. Density dependent effects are often a cause of nonlinearity in a model. (05 Dec 1998) |
| density dependent inhibition of growth | <cell culture> The phenomenon exhibited by most normal (anchorage dependent) animal cells in culture that stop dividing once a critical cell density is reached. The critical density is considerably higher for most cells than the density at which a monolayer is formed, for this reason, most cell behaviourists prefer the term density dependent inhibition of growth as this avoids any confusion with contact inhibition of locomotion, a totally different phenomenon that is contact dependent. (12 Jan 1998) |
| dependent | Exhibiting dependence or dependency. (18 Nov 1997) |
| dependent beat | <cardiology, physiology> An extrasystole supposedly precipitated in some way by the preceding normal beat to which it is coupled, an extrasystole caused by artificial stimulation of the heart. Synonym: dependent beat. (05 Mar 2000) |
