- obsolete cathepsin H activity
OBSOLETE. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, acting as an aminopeptidase (notably, cleaving Arg-Xaa bonds) as well as an endopeptidase.
- autophagosome
A double-membrane-bounded compartment that engulfs endogenous cellular material as well as invading microorganisms to target them to the lytic vacuole/lysosome for degradation as part of macroautophagy.
- xylitol metabolic process
The chemical reactions and pathways involving xylitol, a five-carbon sugar alcohol derived from xylose by reduction of the carbonyl group. It is as sweet as sucrose and is used as a noncariogenic sweetner and as a sugar substitute in diabetic diets.
- septal periplasm
The region between the plasma membrane and the cell wall, as found in organisms such as filamentous fungi.
- primary shoot apical meristem specification
The specification of the meristem which will give rise to all post-embryonic above-ground structures of the plant as well as the non-root below-ground structures, such as rhizomes and tubers.
- blood microparticle
A phospholipid microvesicle that is derived from any of several cell types, such as platelets, blood cells, endothelial cells, or others, and contains membrane receptors as well as other proteins characteristic of the parental cell. Microparticles are heterogeneous in size, and are characterized as microvesicles free of nucleic acids.
- diaminopimelate biosynthetic process
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of diaminopimelate, both as an intermediate in lysine biosynthesis and as a component (as meso-diaminopimelate) of the peptidoglycan of Gram-negative bacterial cell walls.
