A family of enzymes involved in base excision repair.  

Or glucosuria is an abnormal condition of osmotic diuresis due to excretion of glucose by the kidneys into the urine. Appearance of glucose in the urine, as in diabetes and after the administration of drugs that lower the renal threshold. Presence of sugar, particularly glucose, in the urine. Sugar in the urine typical of diabetes…

Metabolism (oxidation) of glucose to produce energy.  

Is the catabolism of glycogen by removal of a glucose monomer through cleavage with inorganic phosphate to produce glucose-1-phosphate. The breakdown of glycogen. The breakdown of glycogen to glucose for use as a metabolic fuel and to maintain the normal blood concentration of glucose in the fasting state. Stimulated by the hormones glucagon and adrenaline.…

A chemical reaction in which glycosyl groups are added to a protein to produce a glycoprotein.  

A major group of detoxification enzymes that participate in the detoxification of reactive electrophilic compounds by catalysing their conjugation to glutathione.  

A tripeptide produced in the human liver and plays a key role in intermediary metabolism, immune response and health. It plays an important role in scavenging free radicals and protects cells against several toxic oxygen-derived chemical species. A tripeptide (y-glutamyl-cysteinyl- glycine) which is involved in oxidation- reduction reactions, the conjugation of foreign substances for excretion…

Catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from an amino acid (Glu) to a 2-keto-acid to generate a new amino acid and the residual 2-ketoacid of the donor amino acid.  

A phase II detoxification pathway occurring in the liver in which glucuronic acid is conjugated with toxins.  

An enzyme that enable the transfer of glucose.
