| glucosaminoglycan | <biochemistry> A macromolecule found on the surface of eukaryotic cells which is thought to play a role in the cells recognition of other cells or of a substrate. It consists of a network of long, branched chains made up of repeating units of disaccharides which contain amino groups sugars, at least one of which has a negatively charged side group (carboxylate or sulphate). Commonest are hyaluronate (D glucuronic acid N acetyl D glucosamine: MW up to 10 million), chondroitin sulphate (D glucuronic acid N acetyl D galactosamine 4 or 6 sulphate), dermatan sulphate (D glucuronic acid or L iduronic acid N acetyl D galactosamine), keratan sulphate (D galactose N acetyl D glucosamine sulphate) and heparan sulphate (D glucuronic acid or L iduronic acid N acetyl D glucosamine). Glycosaminoglycan side chains (with the exception of hyaluronate) are covalently attached to a core protein at about every 12 amino acid residues to produce a proteoglycan, these proteoglycans are then noncovalently attached by link proteins to hyaluronate, forming an enormous hydrated space filling polymer found in extracellular matrix. The extent of sulphation is variable and the structure allows tremendous diversity. The protein is also a component of the capsid of a retrovirus which can act as group-specific antigens to the host.

| calcium metabolism disorders | Disorders in the processing of calcium in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphorus metabolism disorders | Disorders in the processing of phosphorus in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iron metabolism disorders | Disorders in the processing of iron in the body: its absorption, transport, storage, and utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| basal metabolism | <biochemistry, biology> Heat production, or its measurement, of an organism at the lowest level of cell chemistry in an inactive, awake, fasting state. It may be determined directly by means of a calorimeter or indirectly by calculating the heat production from an analysis of the end products of oxidation within the organism or from the amount of oxygen utilised. (27 Jun 1999) |
| calcium metabolism | A set of biochemical processes which act to keep the level of calcium in the blood at a constant level, with enough around to build bones and teeth. (09 Oct 1997) |
| carbohydrate metabolism | <biochemistry> The breakdown of starches and sugars into smaller units that can be used by the body for energy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| respiratory metabolism | The exchange of respiratory gases in the lungs, oxidation of foodstuffs in the tissues, and production of carbon dioxide and water. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metabolism | <biochemistry> The sum of all the physical and chemical processes by which living organised substance is produced and maintained (anabolism) and also the transformation by which energy is made available for the uses of the organism (catabolism). Origin: Gr. Metaballein = to turn about, change, alter (18 Nov 1997) |
| water of metabolism | The water formed in the body by oxidation of the hydrogen of the food, the greatest amount being produced in the metabolism of fat (about 117 g/100 g of fat). Synonym: water of combustion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Crassulacean acid metabolism | <plant biology> Physiological adaptation of certain succulent plants, in which carbon dioxide can be fixed (nonphotosynthetically) at night into malic and other acids. During the day the carbon dioxide is regenerated and then fixed photosynthetically into the Calvin Benson cycle. This adaptation permits the stomata to remain closed during the day, conserving water. (18 Nov 1997) |
| primary metabolism | Metabolic processes central to most cells; e.g., biosynthesis of macromolecules, energy production, turnover, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protein metabolism | Decomposition and synthesis of protein in the tissues. Synonym: proteometabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| xenobiotic metabolism | <biochemistry> This is the sum of the physical and chemical changes that affect foreign substances in living organisms from uptake to excretion. (09 Oct 1997) |
| secondary metabolism | Pathways producing specialised metabolic products that are not found inevery cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
