Glyoxalase system

The glyoxalase system is a set of enzymes that carry out the detoxification of methylglyoxal and the other reactive aldehydes that are produced as a normal part of metabolism.

Kinetoplastida

Kinetoplastida (or Kinetoplastea, as a class) is a group of flagellated protists belonging to the phylum Euglenozoa, and characterised by the presence of an organelle with a large massed DNA called kinetoplast (hence the name).

Leishmania

Leishmania is a genus of trypanosomes that are responsible for the disease leishmaniasis.

Leishmaniasis

Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by parasites of the Leishmania type.

New!!: Trypanothione and Leishmaniasis · See more »

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.

Peroxidase

Peroxidases (EC number) are a large family of enzymes that typically catalyze a reaction of the form: For many of these enzymes the optimal substrate is hydrogen peroxide, but others are more active with organic hydroperoxides such as lipid peroxides.

Peroxide

Peroxide is a compound with the structure R-O-O-R. The O−O group in a peroxide is called the peroxide group or peroxo group.

Polyamine

A polyamine is an organic compound having more than two amino groups.

Reductase

A reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes a reduction reaction.

Spermidine

Spermidine is a polyamine compound found in ribosomes and living tissues, and having various metabolic functions within organisms.

Thioredoxin reductase

Thioredoxin reductases (TR, TrxR) are the only known enzymes to reduce thioredoxin (Trx).

Transferase

A transferase is any one of a class of enzymes that enact the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor).

Trypanosoma

Trypanosoma is a genus of kinetoplastids (class Kinetoplastida), a monophyletic group of unicellular parasitic flagellate protozoa.

Trypanothione-disulfide reductase

In enzymology, a trypanothione-disulfide reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are trypanothione and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are trypanothione disulfide, NADPH, and H+.
