5-oxoproline (medicine) and keratoderma eccentrica (medicine)


5-oxoproline (medicine)


5-oxoproline


A keto derivative of proline that is formed nonenzymatically from glutamate, glutamine, and gamma-glutamylated peptides; it is also produced by the action of gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase; elevated levels of 5-oxoproline are often associated with problems of glutamine or glutathione metabolism.

Synonym: 5-pyrrolidone-2-carboxylic acid, pyroglutamic acid, pyrrolidone-5-carboxylate.


keratoderma eccentrica (medicine)


keratoderma eccentrica -->
porokeratosis


A rare, chronic, progressive autosomal dominant disorder seen most often in males and usually appearing in early childhood. It is characterised by the formation of slightly atrophic patches surrounded by an elevated, keratotic border.
