Disease relevance of Sebical

  • The allantoin regulon of Escherichia coli, formed by three operons expressed from promoters allA(P), gcl(P) and allD(P), is involved in the anaerobic utilization of allantoin as nitrogen source [1].
  • Isolation of a chromosomal region of Klebsiella pneumoniae associated with allantoin metabolism and liver infection [2].
  • Two homogeneous species were found and tentatively listed as Pseudomonas sp. 1 and Pseudomonas sp. 2, and these were differentiated by gelatin and starch hydrolysis, oxidation of mannitol, and alkalinization of allantoin [3].
  • The results reported here are similar to those reported previously by our laboratory for the effects of Reye's plasma and allantoin + Ca2+, and indicate that, like these agents, salicylate and salicyl compounds can potentiate the Ca2+-induced damage to the mitochondrial inner membrane and may be another factor responsible for Reye's syndrome [4].
  • Metabolism of allantoin in Hyphomicrobium species [5].

Anatomical context of Sebical

  • It was concluded that, under basal conditions, the cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase present in the liver cell continuously produces adenosine, which is immediately reconverted into AMP by adenosine kinase, without giving rise to allantoin [20].
  • The concentrations of uric acid and allantoin in human serum and synovial fluid are reported [21].
  • We found that onset of nutrient starvation brought about release of large quantities of arginine and allantoin normally sequestered in the cell vacuole [22].
  • Our data show, therefore, that allantoin, salicylates, and the "toxic" agent in Reye's plasma severely limit the ability of isolated rat liver mitochondria to maintain their structural integrity under conditions of limited Ca2+ loading [23].
  • Factors affecting application of milk allantoin as an estimator of microbial protein flow to the duodenum under commercial conditions [24].
