Component
Fumarate hydratase of the Echinococcus cyst wall
Fumarate hydratase of the Echinococcus cyst wall. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
Where it participates (unsigned role)
Pyruvate kinase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activities in the Echinococcus granulosus cyst wall were markedly inhibited by mebendazole and albendazole while fumarate hydratase activity showed no apparent change, with inhibition rates in the mebendazole group of 85 to 88% and 90 to 92% respectively against 55.3% and 71.6% in the albendazole group, suggesting that these two enzymes may be an important site attacked by effective anti-hydatid drugs.
