| alternative oxidase | <enzyme> The terminal oxidase in alternative pathway respiration, as seen in plants like sauromatum guttatum (voodoo lily); amino acid sequence for tobacco alternative oxidase (aox1) in first source Registry number: EC 1.- Synonym: aox1 gene product, aox2 gene product, aox3 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |

The alternative forms produce proteins in which one part is common while the other part is different. (12 Dec 1998) |

| alternative complement pathway |
The alternative pathway of the complement system is a humoral component of the immune system's natural defence against infections which can operate without antibody participation. The cascade begins with the spontaneous activation and attachment of the complement protein C3 to a pathogen, creating a catalytic activator that decays both spontaneously and quickly, but can lead to the creation of a C3 convertase. ...
