chloride |
A compound containing chlorine, at a valence of -1, as in the salts of hydrochloric acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
chloride channel |
Ion channels selective for chloride ions. Various types including ligand activated Cl channels at synapses (the GABA and glycine activated channels), as well as voltage gated Cl channels found in a variety of plant and animal cells. See: CFTR, MDR. (18 Nov 1997) |
chloride channels |
Cell membrane glycoproteins selective for chloride ions. (12 Dec 1998) |
chloride current |
Flow of chloride ions through chloride selective ion channels. (18 Nov 1997) |
chloride depletion |
Excessive loss of sodium chloride from the body in urine, sweat, etc.; a cause of secondary dehydration. Synonym: chloride depletion. Water depletion, reduction in the total volume of body water; dehydration. (05 Mar 2000) |
chloride peroxidase |
<enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the chlorination of a range of organic molecules, forming stable carbon-chloride bonds. Chemical name: Chloride:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.11.1.10 (12 Dec 1998) |
chloride shift |
When CO2 enters the blood from the tissues, it passes into the red blood cell and is converted by carbonate dehydratase to bicarbonate (HCO3-); HCO3- ion passes out into the plasma while Cl- migrates into the red blood cell. Reverse changes occur in the lungs when CO2 is eliminated from the blood. Synonym: Hamburger's phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
chlorides |
Inorganic compounds derived from hydrochloric acid that contain the cl- ion. (12 Dec 1998) |
chloridimetry |
The process of determining the amount of chlorides in the blood or urine, or in other fluids. (05 Mar 2000) |
chloridometer |
An apparatus for determining the amount of chlorides in blood or urine, or other fluids. (05 Mar 2000) |
chloriduria |
The excretion of chloride in the urine. Synonym: chloriduria, chloruria. (05 Mar 2000) |
chlorin |
2,3-Dihydroporphin(e); 2,3-dihydroporphyrin;one of the root structures of the chlorophylls (for structure, see porphyrin). Addition of the two-carbon bridge (see structure of chlorophyll) to chlorin yields phorbin(e); addition of side chains yields the phorbides, distinguished by a number of arbitrary prefixes (those found in the chlorophylls are pheo-and bacteriopheophorbide); esterification of the propionic group by phytyl yields the respective phytins, and the addition of magnesium yields the chlorophylls (magnesium phytinates). See: porphyrins. (05 Mar 2000) |
chlorinated |
Having been treated with chlorine. (05 Mar 2000) |
chlorinated hydrocarbon |
A molecules which is almost entirely carbon and hydrogen, but has had at least one chlorine atom introduced to it that has replaced one of the hydrogen atoms. (09 Oct 1997) |
chlorinated lime |
A mixture of varying proportions of complexes of chlorine with calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide. Contains 24-37% available chlorine. Decomposes in moist conditions to liberate chlorine. Strong irritant due to chlorine vapors. Used for disinfecting drinking water, sewage etc.; in the bleaching of wood pulp, linen, cotton, straw, oils, soaps, and laundry; as an oxidiser; in destroying caterpillars; and as a decontaminant for mustard gas and similar substances. Synonym: bleaching powder. (05 Mar 2000) |
