UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D008099	Liver	A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances.	Livers
D008297	Male		Males
D003569	Cytidine Monophosphate N-Acetylneuraminic Acid	A nucleoside monophosphate sugar which donates N-acetylneuraminic acid to the terminal sugar of a ganglioside or glycoprotein.	CMP Acetylneuraminic Acid,CMP-N-Acetylneuraminic Acid,CMP-NANA,D-glycero-beta-D-galacto-2-Nonulopyranosonic acid, 5-(acetylamino)-3,5-dideoxy-, 2-(hydrogen 5'-cytidylate),CMP-Sialic Acid,Cytidine Monophosphate N Acetylneuraminic Acid,Acetylneuraminic Acid, CMP,CMP N Acetylneuraminic Acid,CMP Sialic Acid
D000469	Alkaline Phosphatase	An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of an orthophosphoric monoester and water to an alcohol and orthophosphate. EC 3.1.3.1.
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012794	Sialic Acids	A group of naturally occurring N-and O-acyl derivatives of the deoxyamino sugar neuraminic acid. They are ubiquitously distributed in many tissues.	N-Acetylneuraminic Acids,Acids, N-Acetylneuraminic,Acids, Sialic,N Acetylneuraminic Acids
D012795	Sialoglycoproteins	Glycoproteins which contain sialic acid as one of their carbohydrates. They are often found on or in the cell or tissue membranes and participate in a variety of biological activities.	Polysialoglycoprotein,Sialoglycopeptide,Sialoglycopeptides,Sialoglycoprotein,Sialoprotein,Sialoproteins,Polysialoglycoproteins
D012799	Sialyltransferases	A group of enzymes with the general activity CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:acceptor N-acetylneuraminyl transferase. They catalyze the transfer of N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID from CMP-N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID to an acceptor, which is usually the terminal sugar residue of an oligosaccharide, a glycoprotein, or a glycolipid.
