Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
sweetening agent  Substance that sweeten food, beverages, medications, etc.
human metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens).
mouse metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
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.
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.
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 ).
