|---|---|
lipo- |
Fatty, lipid. Origin: G. Lipos, fat (05 Mar 2000) |
lipoamide |
<biochemistry> The functional form of lipoic acid in which the carboxyl group is attached to protein by an amide linkage to a lysine amino group. (18 Nov 1997) |
lipoamide dehydrogenase |
<enzyme> An enzyme that regenerates lipoamide from the reduced form dihydrolipoamide. (18 Nov 1997) |
lipoamide disulfide |
Oxidised lipoic acid in amide combination with the &vepsilon;-amino group of an l-lysyl residue of pyruvic acid dehydrogenase. (05 Mar 2000) |
lipoamide reductase |
<enzyme> An enzyme oxidizing dihydrolipoamide at the expense of NAD+; completes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate; a part of several enzyme complexes (e.g., alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex). Decreased activity leads to neuronal loss in brain resulting in psychomotor retardation. Synonym: coenzyme factor, lipoamide dehydrogenase, lipoamide reductase (NADH), lipoyl dehydrogenase. (05 Mar 2000) |
lipoarthritis |
Inflammation of the periarticular fatty tissues of the knee. Origin: Lipo-+ arthritis (05 Mar 2000) |
lipoate |
A vitamin needed by some bacteriawhich is an intermediate carrier foracyl groups and hydrogens in alpha-keto acid dehydrogenases. (09 Oct 1997) |
lipoate acetyltransferase |
<enzyme> Part of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex; acef isolated from e. Coli Registry number: EC 2.3.1.12 Synonym: dihydrolipoyl transacetylase, lipoate acetyltransferase, dihydrolipoyl acetyltransferase, acef gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
lipoate-protein ligase |
<enzyme> Involved in post-translation modification by n6-lipoylation of lysine residues of the lipoate acyltransferase subunits of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes Registry number: EC 6.3.2.- Synonym: lipoyl-protein ligase (26 Jun 1999) |
lipoatrophia |
Loss of subcutaneous fat, which may be total, congenital, and associated with hepatomegaly, excessive bone growth, and insulin-resistant diabetes. Synonym: Lawrence-Seip syndrome, lipoatrophia, lipoatrophic diabetes. Origin: G. Lipos, fat, + a-, priv. + trophe, nourishment (05 Mar 2000) |
lipoatrophia annularis |
A rare condition of unknown cause characterised by localised panatrophy, a depressed area encircling the arm with sclerosis and atrophy of fat. (05 Mar 2000) |
lipoatrophia circumscripta |
Localised fat atrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
lipoatrophic diabetes |
Loss of subcutaneous fat, which may be total, congenital, and associated with hepatomegaly, excessive bone growth, and insulin-resistant diabetes. Synonym: Lawrence-Seip syndrome, lipoatrophia, lipoatrophic diabetes. Origin: G. Lipos, fat, + a-, priv. + trophe, nourishment (05 Mar 2000) |
