- limit dextrinase activity
Catalysis of the hydrolysis of (1,6)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in alpha- and beta-limit dextrins of amylopectin and glycogen, and in amylopectin and pullulan.
- sphingoid metabolic process
The chemical reactions and pathways involving sphingoids, any of a class of compounds comprising sphinganine and its homologues and stereoisomers, and derivatives of these compounds.
- obsolete insulin
OBSOLETE. A polypeptide hormone that stimulates glucose uptake by muscle and adipose tissue, and promotes glycogenesis, lipogenesis and the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids.
- autophagosome maturation
Removal of PI3P and Atg8/LC3 after the closure of the phagophore and before the fusion with the endosome/lysosome (e.g. mammals and insects) or vacuole (yeast), and that very likely destabilizes other Atg proteins and thus enables their efficient dissociation and recycling.
- learning or memory
The acquisition and processing of information and/or the storage and retrieval of this information over time.
- plant-type cell wall
A more or less rigid structure lying outside the cell membrane of a cell and composed of cellulose and pectin and other organic and inorganic substances.
- dopamine metabolic process
The chemical reactions and pathways involving dopamine, a catecholamine neurotransmitter and a metabolic precursor of noradrenaline and adrenaline.
- oospore formation
The process in which male and female gametangia develop and fuse to form an oospore, a thick-walled resting spore of Oomycetes and certain algae and fungi.
- nitroglycerin metabolic process
The chemical reactions and pathways involving nitroglycerin, a well-known nitrate ester and an important component of dynamite and other propellants. Toxic to algae, invertebrate, and vertebrates.
