Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
mouse metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
algal metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in algae including unicellular organisms like chlorella and diatoms to multicellular organisms like giant kelps and brown algae.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite  Any fungal metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ).
sweetening agent  Substance that sweeten food, beverages, medications, etc.
hapten  Any substance capable of eliciting an immune response only when attached to a large carrier such as a protein. Examples include dinitrophenols; oligosaccharides; peptides; and heavy metals.
human metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens).
allergen  A chemical compound, or part thereof, which causes the onset of an allergic reaction by interacting with any of the molecular pathways involved in an allergy.
Application:
sweetening agent  Substance that sweeten food, beverages, medications, etc.
