Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): drug allergen
Any drug which causes the onset of an allergic reaction.
EC 1.13.11.33 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase) inhibitor
A lipoxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.33).
EC 3.1.1.3 (triacylglycerol lipase) inhibitor
Any EC 3.1.1.* (carboxylic ester hydrolase) inhibitor that inhibits the action of triacylglycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.3).
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.
human xenobiotic metabolite
Any human metabolite produced by metabolism of a xenobiotic compound in humans.
plant metabolite
