Code | Name | Type | Location And Role | Comments |
BB76 | Acetyl Coenzyme A | | synthesized in the mitochondria of all cells and is used to generate ATP in the Krebs cycle; involved in the synthesis of Ach2 in some nerve cells | |
BB77 | Actin | Protein | in order for muscle to contract myosin7 and actin must interact; actin-myosin interaction activates actomyosin ATPase which extracts energy from ATP for contraction. | |
BB78 | Adenine | | one of the bases of DNA & RNA | |
BB79 | | | Replaced with BB79a as BB79 was an unintentional duplicate of BB28 this was a | |
BB79a | Calcineurin | | speeds up the rate at which electrical signals in the brain die away, so affects long-term memory | may have a role in dementia; post-traumatic stress syndrome and heart failure |
BB80 | Calmodulin/ modulator protein/ (CaM)/ Phosphodiesterase 3’:5’- Cyclic Nucleotide Activator | protein | calcium-binding protein found within cells; many different biochemical processes known to be regulated by calmodulin, although the interactions of calmodulin with its various target enzymes are only poorly understood; has a regulatory effect on contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles; involved in gene regulation, protein synthesis, inflammation, short term memory, the immune response, viral penetration, and the cell cycle implicating it in AIDs, Alzheimer’s, certain cancers and other diseases | |
BB81 | Carbonic Anhydrase | enzyme | present in red blood cells and kidney cells; controls the elimination of carbon dioxide from the body and the pH of urine; facilitates the transfer of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the blood and from the blood to the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs; involved in production of gastric acid | |
BB82 | Catalase | enzyme | the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide8 into water and oxygen. | |
BB83 | Cytosine | | one of the bases of DNA & RNA | |
BB84 | Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV | | arrests biological activity of GLP16 and Substance P2 | |
BB85 | Fibrin | protein | insoluble; essential to blood clotting; formed from fibrinogen7 by the action of thrombin7 | |
BB86 | Fibrinogen | protein | a clotting factor in blood plasma that is converted to fibrin7; produced by liver and plasma cells; approximately 7% of blood plasma proteins | |
BB87 | Glycogen | carbohydrate | the principal carbohydrate storage material in the body; plays an important role in controlling blood sugar levels. | |
BB88 | Glycogen Phosphorylase a | enzyme | involved in converting glycogen7 to glucose | |
BB89 | Glycogen Synthase | enzyme | involved in converting glucose to glycogen7 | |
BB90 | Guanine | | one of the basis of DNA & RNA | |
BB91 | Homocysteine | amino acid | formed from the breakdown of methionine; should exist only briefly before being broken down into cystathione and then cysteine; if does not happen efficiently then raised blood levels of homocysteine can occur | linked to atherosclerosis; and Alzheimer’s disease; homozygous homocysteine (rare condition) |
BB92 | Keratin | protein | produced in the skin epidermis; helps protect skin and underlying tissues from heat, microbes and chemicals | |
BB93 | Leucine Enkephalin | neuropeptide | produced in the adrenal medulla; inhibits pain impulses by suppressing release of Substance P2; increased secretion into the blood stream when stressed | morphine stimulates enkephalin receptors |
BB94 | Methionine Enkephalin | neuropeptide | produced in the adrenal medulla; sedative effect; inhibits pain impulses by suppressing release of Substance P2; increased secretion into the blood stream when stressed | in alcohol- and cocaine-preferring mouse strains, methionine enkephalin is lower in the hypothalamus; morphine stimulates enkephalin receptors |
BB95 | Myosin | protein | in order for muscle to contract, myosin and actin7 must interact | |
BB96 | Prothrombin/ Factor II | body protein | inactive protein synthesized by the liver, released into the blood, and converted to active thrombin7 in the process of blood clotting | |
BB97 | Terminal Transferase | enzyme | a DNA polymerase that does not require a primer; catalyses the addition of nucleotides to DNA (involved in cell division) | |
BB98 | Thrombin | enzyme | active enzyme produced from prothrombin7; acts to covert fibrinogen7 to fibrin7 | |
BB99 | Thymine | | one of the DNA bases | |
BB100 | Uracil | | one of the bases of RNA | |
