111Entner-Doudoroff pathway — Metabolic pathway for degradation of glucose in a wide variety of bacteria. Differs from the Embden Meyerhoff pathway although end result is similar …
112shikimic acid pathway — Metabolic pathway in plants and microorganisms, by which the aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan) are formed from phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose 4 phosphate via shikimic acid. The aromatic amino acids in turn serve as… …
113metabolic pathway — n PATHWAY (2) * * * a series of enzymatic reactions that converts one biological material to another …
114accessory pathway — accessory conduction pathway myocardial fibers that propagate the atrial contraction impulse to the ventricles but are not a part of the normal atrioventricular conducting system; impulses conducted over such a pathway can cause preexcitation… …
115hexosamine pathway — hexosamine biosynthetic pathway a series of enzymatic reactions by which a small amount of glucose is diverted away from the Embden Meyerhof pathway to form uridine compounds such as uridine diphosphate N acetylglucosamine. This is one cause of… …
116lectin pathway — a pathway of complement activation initiated in the absence of antibody by the binding of mannose binding lectin (MBL) to carbohydrates on the surface of microorganisms. MBL in turn activates complement component C4; the rest of the steps are the …
117lipoxygenase pathway — a pathway for the formation of leukotrienes and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids from arachidonic acid. It is initiated by oxidation of arachidonic acid by arachidonate lipoxygenases, and the reactions occur in the cytosol of leukocytes, mast cells …
118pentose phosphate pathway — a major branching of the Embden Meyerhof pathway of carbohydrate metabolism: a pathway of hexose oxidation in which glucose 6 phosphate undergoes two successive oxidations by NADP, the final one being an oxidative decarboxylation to form a… …
119perforant pathway — perforating pathway a pathway of fibers originating in the lateral part of the entorhinal area, perforating the subiculum of the hippocampus, and running into the stratum moleculare of the hippocampus, where these fibers synapse with others that… …
120anabolic pathway — A pathway by which a metabolite is synthesized; a biosynthetic pathway …
