Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
radical scavenger  A role played by a substance that can react readily with, and thereby eliminate, radicals.
Biological Roles:
Escherichia coli metabolite  Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.
signalling molecule  A molecular messenger in which the molecule is specifically involved in transmitting information between cells. Such molecules are released from the cell sending the signal, cross over the gap between cells by diffusion, and interact with specific receptors in another cell, triggering a response in that cell by activating a series of enzyme controlled reactions which lead to changes inside the cell.
human metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens).
neurotransmitter  An endogenous compound that is used to transmit information across the synapse between a neuron and another cell.
mouse metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
Applications:
bronchodilator agent  An agent that causes an increase in the expansion of a bronchus or bronchial tubes.
vasodilator agent  A drug used to cause dilation of the blood vessels.
