WHAT DOES APYRASE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

apyrase

Apyrase

Apyrase is a calcium-activated plasma membrane-bound enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of ATP to yield AMP and inorganic phosphate. Two isoenzymes are found in commercial preparations from S. tuberosum. One with a higher ratio of substrate selectivity for ATP:ADP and another with no selectivity. It can also act on ADP and other nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphates with the general reaction being NTP -> NDP + Pi -> NMP + 2Pi. The salivary apyrases of blood-feeding arthropods are nucleotide hydrolysing enzymes are implicated in the inhibition of host platelet aggregation through the hydrolysis of extracellular adenosine diphosphate.

Definition of apyrase in the English dictionary

The definition of apyrase in the dictionary is any of various enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate, yielding phosphate and energy.
