UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007651	Keto Acids	Carboxylic acids that contain a KETONE group.	Oxo Acids,Oxoacids,Acids, Keto,Acids, Oxo
D007658	Ketone Oxidoreductases	Oxidoreductases that are specific for KETONES.	Oxidoreductases, Ketone
D008928	Mitochondria	Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D008930	Mitochondria, Liver	Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.

D009097	Multienzyme Complexes	Systems of enzymes which function sequentially by catalyzing consecutive reactions linked by common metabolic intermediates. They may involve simply a transfer of water molecules or hydrogen atoms and may be associated with large supramolecular structures such as MITOCHONDRIA or RIBOSOMES.	Complexes, Multienzyme
D010766	Phosphorylation	The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety.	Phosphorylations
D000273	Adipose Tissue	Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.

D000597	Amino Acids, Branched-Chain	Amino acids which have a branched carbon chain.	Branched-Chain Amino Acid,Amino Acids, Branched Chain,Acid, Branched-Chain Amino,Acids, Branched-Chain Amino,Amino Acid, Branched-Chain,Branched Chain Amino Acid,Branched-Chain Amino Acids
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.

D042942	3-Methyl-2-Oxobutanoate Dehydrogenase (Lipoamide)	A ketone oxidoreductase that catalyzes the overall conversion of alpha-keto acids to ACYL-CoA and CO2. The enzyme requires THIAMINE DIPHOSPHATE as a cofactor. Defects in genes that code for subunits of the enzyme are a cause of MAPLE SYRUP URINE DISEASE. The enzyme was formerly classified as EC 1.2.4.3.	2-Oxoisovalerate Dehydrogenase (Lipoamide),2-Oxoisocaproate Dehydrogenase,Alpha-Keto Acid Dehydrogenase,BCKA Decarboxylase,Branched Chain Alpha-Keto Acid Decarboxylase,Branched Chain Ketoacid Dehydrogenase,Branched-Chain 2-Oxo Acid Dehydrogenase,Branched-Chain Keto Acid Dehydrogenase,Branched-Chain Oxo-Acid Dehydrogenase,2 Oxoisocaproate Dehydrogenase,Acid Dehydrogenase, Alpha-Keto,Alpha Keto Acid Dehydrogenase,Branched Chain 2 Oxo Acid Dehydrogenase,Branched Chain Alpha Keto Acid Decarboxylase,Branched Chain Keto Acid Dehydrogenase,Branched Chain Oxo Acid Dehydrogenase,Decarboxylase, BCKA,Dehydrogenase, 2-Oxoisocaproate,Dehydrogenase, Alpha-Keto Acid,Dehydrogenase, Branched-Chain Oxo-Acid,Oxo-Acid Dehydrogenase, Branched-Chain
