drugs biochem Flashcards
IpPLA2
produced by macrophages and foam cells.
Defective Glycogen phosphorylase in muscle
Glycogen accumulates in skeletal muscle. Alanine cycling. Avoid anaerobic metabolism.
AMP/Glucagon/Epinephrine on Acetyl CoA Carboxylase
negative modulator
Apo E
On HDL and given to VLDL and chylomicron
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease
- Increase in dATP = a decrease in lymphocytes (SCID)- 2nd most common cause due to deficient Adenosine Deaminase
Niemann-Pick Disease Type C
Inappropriate storage of cholesterol in lysosome – reduced sphingomyelinase activities
Phospholipase D
Receptor signaling, membrane transport, actin cytoskeleton.
sPLA2
pancreas – emulsifcation and saponification.
Leucovorin
Conjunction with 5-flucorouracil
3 subunits of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase (or any carboxylase)
- Biotin Carboxylase2. Biotin carboxyl Carrier protein3. Transcarboxylase
Phospholipase B
A1 and A2 activities
Hunter Syndrome
Iduronate 2 Sulfatase (MPS II), 15 years, Neuro 2-4 yo
Defective alpha-1,6 glucosidase
Glycogen accumulates, branches can’t form. Muscular dystrophy – muscle weakness
Defective glycogen phosphorylase in liver
glycogen accumulates in liver. Results in an enlarged liver. Need high protein meals.
Citrate on Acetyl CoA Carboxylase
positve modulator
Proteoglycan
Glycoaminoglycans - 2 monomer. N-acetylated monosaccharide and uronate monosaccharide with one/both containing negative charges. Surface of cell/ structural integrity/ development, homeostasis, and disease.
Glycolipid
Sphingoglycolipids, Glyceroglycolipids. Cell to cell interactions, cell marker
Orotic Aciduria
supplement forUMP Synthase defect. Use this supplement to bypass the deficiency and salvage pathways to provide pyrimidine sources
Insulin on acetyl CoA carboxylase and Fatty Acid Synthase
positive transcription
Cherry Red Spot
Diagnostic for Tay sachs, Sandhoffs, Fabry’s, And Neimann-Pick Disease
Defective glucose-6-phosphatase
glycogen accumulates in the liver. lactate and alanine acummulates. High lipid and uric acid production. gout. Enlarged liver & hypoglycemia.
Hydroxyurea
Blocks ribonucleotide reductase to treat leukemia, ovarian cancer, and melanoma
Lipoprotein Lipase
How TAGs leave Chylomicron or VLDL
