What's the difference between glycerol and steapsin?
Glycerol
Definition:
(n.) Same as Glycerin.
Example Sentences:
(1) Estimations of the degree of incorporation of 14C from the radioactive labeled carbohydrate into the glycerol and fatty acid moieties were carried out.
(2) Similar results were obtained with 1-oleoyl 2-acetylglycerol (OAG), whereas 1, 2 diolein, 1-oleoyl glycerol, or 4 alpha-phorbol 12, 13-didecanoate had no effect.
(3) Changes in renal renin levels after the administration of glycerol were not significant, although lower renal renin values were consistently found in rabbits with more severe impairment of renal function.
(4) When labelled long-chain fatty acids or glycerol were infused into the lactating goat, there was extensive transfer of radioactivity into milk in spite of the absence of net uptake of substrate by the mammary gland.
(5) sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate was found to decrease the quasi-stationary concentration of Fru 2,6-P2.
(6) Rhesus monkey BAT mitochondria (BATM) possess an uncoupling protein that is characteristic of BAT as evidenced by the binding of [3H]GDP, the inhibition by GDP of the high Cl- permeability or rapid alpha-glycerol-3-phosphate oxidation.
(7) Glucose formation from a range of substrates, with the exception of glycerol, was increased by an increase in extracellular Ca(2+) concentration.
(8) A search in protein data banks revealed that IclR has a score of similarity of 43.7% with GylR, a transcriptional regulator of the glycerol operon of Streptomyces coelicolor.
(9) We conclude, therefore, that a direct deacylation of the acyl groups at the primary alcohol level of the glycerol probably does not occur, but postulate that transacylations may occur to account for the removal of the acyl moiety.
(10) The dynamic properties of cross-bridge movement were investigated in glycerol-treated muscle fibers under various conditions by analyzing tension responses to two types of length change.
(11) A 4.1-kb EcoRI fragment which includes the gene (gldA) encoding a glycerol dehydrogenase (G1DH; EC 1.1.1.6; glycerol:NAD oxidoreductase) from Bacillus stearothermophilus var.
(12) Methods are described for the analysis of glucose, lactate, pyruvate, alanine, glycerol, 3-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate in perchloric acid extracts of human blood, using the Cobas Bio centrifugal analyser fitted with a fluorimetric attachment.
(13) Glycerol permeation and thus its osmotic action may be less in the soleus than in other muscles.
(14) The activity of succinic dehydrogenase, a mitochondrial enzyme, was decreased by the deficiency, but the activities of fumarase, sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, sn-glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase and fatty acid synthetase were unaffected.
(15) This oxidation is sensitive to catalase and glutathione plus glutathione peroxidase, suggesting a requirement for H2O2 in the overall pathway of glycerol oxidation.
(16) The defect is due to a single mutation in glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.15).
(17) Insertion of the fusion-generating phage Mud1 (Ap, lacZ) yielded two similar isolates, DC511 and DC512, which were unable to grow aerobically on acetate or alpha-ketoglutarate but which could use succinate, malate, fumarate, glycerol, and various sugars.
(18) Glycerol gradient centrifugation partially dissociated the complex to yield two peaks of exonuclease III activity, one at 7.7 S together with the DNA polymerase, and one at 4.0 S without polymerase activity.
(19) The native mass of factor a was estimated to be 240-260 kDa by gel filtration, but its sedimentation rate in a glycerol gradient was similar to that of a much smaller globular protein, suggesting an extended conformation.
(20) The radiochemical testings further indicate that the mutation has inactivated an inducible glycerol kinase, while a low residual activity may be due to a second, basal and non-inducible glycerol kinase, in accordance with a proposal by North (1973, 1974) that Neurospora has two glycerol kinases with these properties.
Steapsin
Definition:
(n.) An unorganized ferment or enzyme present in pancreatic juice. It decomposes neutral fats into glycerin and fatty acids.
Example Sentences:
(1) The methods, which involved digestion of membrane with Steapsin, a crude pancreatic extract containing diastase and trypsin, gel filtration and preparative electrophoresis on polyacrylamide, provided an enzyme with a high specific activity in good yield.
(2) Aggregates were formed when clear supernatants from hepatic microsomes that had been treated with steapsin were desalted and concentrated.
(3) The enzyme lacks NADPH dehydrogenase activity and is insensitive to treatment with 2-bromo-4'-nitroacetophenone and steapsin: it catalyses N-oxidation of imipramine, trimethylamine and NN-dimethylaniline in molar proportions considerably different from those of the cytochrome P-450-supported reactions.
(4) Comparisons are made among detergent-solubilized and protease (steapsin)-solubilized preparations of porcine liver reductases, showing unequivocally that the 31P NMR signals at approximately 0.0 ppm in the detergent-solubilized, hydrophobic form are attributable to phospholipids.
(5) The solubilized microsomal fraction treated with steapsin lost the reductase activity for hexadecanal but not that for cytochrome c. These results suggest that the aldehyde reductase in brain microsomes is identical to NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and that a hydrophobic portion of the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase is required for the reduction of hexadecanal.
(6) NAD+ glycohydrolase (NAD+ nucleosidase, EC 3.2.2.6) can be solubilized from calf spleen microsomes (microsomal fractions) by steapsin or by detergents to yield respectively a hydrophilic (i.e.
