Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of sleep; a readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity that occurs periodically in many animals.

Formation and development of a dendrite, a freely branching protoplasmic process of a nerve cell.

A heterodimeric enzyme complex, which in mammals is composed of an alpha and a beta subunit, and which associates with an accessory protein Rep (Rab escort protein). Catalyzes of the transfer of a geranyl-geranyl moiety from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate to a Rab protein.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + adenylylsulfate = ADP + 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS).

Catalysis of the reaction: L-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate = pyruvate + L-glutamate.

connective tissue growth factor biosynthesis

The formation from simpler components of CTGF, produced by human umbilical vein endothelial cells and by skin fibroblasts after activation with TGFbeta.

Catalysis of the reaction: an alcohol + NAD+ = an aldehyde or ketone + NADH + H+.

Catalysis of the reaction: 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) + an alcohol = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + an alkyl sulfate.

Catalysis of the reaction: 3-chloroallyl aldehyde + H2O = 2 H+ + 2 e- + 3-chloroacrylic acid.

Any of a group of peptide cofactors of enzymes for the lysosomal degradation of sphingolipids. They stimulate various enzymes, including glucosylceramidase, galactosylceramidase, cerebroside-sulfatase, alpha-galactosidase, beta-galactosidase, and sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase.

Catalysis of the reaction: an aldehyde + NAD+ + H2O = an acid + NADH + H+.

An enzyme complex, composed of regulatory and catalytic subunits, that catalyzes protein phosphorylation. Inactive forms of the enzyme have two regulatory chains and two catalytic chains; activation by cAMP produces two active catalytic monomers and a regulatory dimer.

A complex that possesses CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase activity.

calcium- and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase complex

An enzyme complex that catalyzes the phosphorylation of a protein; it requires calmodulin and calcium.
