  Transferase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biochemistry, a transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a functional group (e.g.
The common names of transferases are often formed as "acceptor grouptransferase" or "donor grouptransferase." For example, a DNA methyltransferase is a transferase that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group to a DNA acceptor.
Transferases are classified as EC 2 in the EC number classification.

 Catechol-O-methyl transferase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catechol-O-methyl transferase is involved in the breakdown of the catecholamine neurotransmitters, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine.
A functional polymorphism (a common normal variant) of the gene for catechol-O-methyl transferase has been shown to affect cognitive tasks broadly related to executive function, such as set shifting, response inhibition, abstract thought and the acquisition of rules or task structure.
The link between impairments in these sorts of cognitive tasks and the COMT gene is thought to be mediated by an effect on dopamine signalling in the frontal lobes.

Chloramphenicol exerts its antibiotic effect by binding to the ribosomal peptidyl transferase in bacteria and thus preventing protein biosynthesis.
The enzyme chloramphenicol acetyl transferase ( E.C.2.3.1.28) transfers an acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A to the primary hydroxyl on C6 of chloramphenicol.

In a case-control study, consumption of dairy foods by 235 white women with epithelial ovarian cancer and by 239 control women, and activity of red blood cell galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (transferase) in a subset of 145 cases and 127 controls were determined.
When a ratio of lactose consumption to transferase (L/T) was calculated, cases had a mean L/T of 1.17 compared with 0.98 for controls; there was a highly significant trend for increasing ovarian cancer risk with increasing L/T ratio.
Lactose consumption may be a dietary risk factor and transferase a genetic risk factor for ovarian cancer.

 Transferase [Definition]
[click for more], a transferase is an enzyme An enzyme (in Greek en = in and zyme = blend) is a protein, or protein complex, that catalyzes a chemical reaction and also controls the 3D orientation of the catalyzed substrates.
Like any catalyst, enzymes work by lowering the activation energy of a reaction, thus allowing the reaction to proceed to its steady state or completion much faster than it otherwise would; the enzyme (again, as with any catalyst) remains unaltered by the completed reaction and can therefore continue catalysis....
The common names of transferases are often formed as "acceptor grouptransferase" or "donor grouptransferase." For example, a DNA methyltransferase is a transferase that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl In chemistry a methyl-group is a hydrophobic Alkyl functional group which is derived from methane (CH4).
