UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009962	Orotate Phosphoribosyltransferase	The enzyme catalyzing the formation of orotidine-5'-phosphoric acid (orotidylic acid) from orotic acid and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate in the course of pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. EC 2.4.2.10.	Orotidine-5'-Phosphate Pyrophosphorylase,Orotidylic Acid Phosphorylase,OMPase,Orotidine-5'-Monophosphate Phosphohydrolase,Orotidine 5' Monophosphate Phosphohydrolase,Orotidine 5' Phosphate Pyrophosphorylase,Phosphohydrolase, Orotidine-5'-Monophosphate,Phosphoribosyltransferase, Orotate,Phosphorylase, Orotidylic Acid,Pyrophosphorylase, Orotidine-5'-Phosphate
D011743	Pyrimidines	A family of 6-membered heterocyclic compounds occurring in nature in a wide variety of forms. They include several nucleic acid constituents (CYTOSINE; THYMINE; and URACIL) and form the basic structure of the barbiturates.
D002222	Carbamoyl-Phosphate Synthase (Ammonia)	An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of carbamoyl phosphate from ATP, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. This enzyme is specific for arginine biosynthesis or the urea cycle. Absence or lack of this enzyme may cause CARBAMOYL-PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE I DEFICIENCY DISEASE. EC 6.3.4.16.	Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase I,CP Synthase I,Carbamoyl-Phosphate Synthetase (Ammonia),Carbamoyl-Phosphate Synthetase I,Carbamoylphosphate Synthetase I,Carbamyl Phosphate Synthase (Ammonia),Carbamyl-Phosphate Synthase (Ammonia),Synthase I, CP,Synthetase I, Carbamoyl-Phosphate,Synthetase I, Carbamoylphosphate
D002223	Carbamoyl-Phosphate Synthase (Glutamine-Hydrolyzing)	An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of carbamoyl phosphate from ATP, carbon dioxide, and glutamine. This enzyme is important in the de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidines. EC 6.3.5.5.	Carbamyl Phosphate Synthase (Glutamine),Carbamoyl-Phosphate Synthase (Glutamine),Carbamoylphosphate Synthetase II,Carbamyl Phosphate Synthase II,Carbamyl-Phosphate Synthase (Glutamine),Synthetase II, Carbamoylphosphate
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
D001221	Aspartate Carbamoyltransferase	An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of carbamoyl phosphate and L-aspartate to yield orthophosphate and N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.1.3.2.	Aspartate Transcarbamylase,Co(II)-Aspartate Transcarbamoylase,Ni(II)-Aspartate Transcarbamoylase,Carbamoyltransferase, Aspartate,Transcarbamylase, Aspartate
D013347	Subcellular Fractions	Components of a cell produced by various separation techniques which, though they disrupt the delicate anatomy of a cell, preserve the structure and physiology of its functioning constituents for biochemical and ultrastructural analysis. (From Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2d ed, p163)	Fraction, Subcellular,Fractions, Subcellular,Subcellular Fraction
D014349	Trypanosoma cruzi	The agent of South American trypanosomiasis or CHAGAS DISEASE. Its vertebrate hosts are man and various domestic and wild animals. Insects of several species are vectors.	Trypanosoma cruzus,cruzi, Trypanosoma
