dopamine D2 receptor-like receptor activity

A G-protein coupled receptor that binds the neurotransmitter dopamine and inhibits adenylate cyclase via coupling to Gi/Go.

Catalysis of the reaction: UDP-galactose + O-beta-D-xylosylprotein = UDP + 4-beta-D-galactosyl-O-beta-D-xylosylprotein.

Combining with angiotensin to initiate a change in cell activity.

Catalysis of the transfer of a glucosyl group to an acceptor molecule, typically another carbohydrate or a lipid.

Increases the activity of guanylate cyclase.

Catalysis of the reaction: 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) + keratan = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + keratan 6'-sulfate.

A specialized region of connection between two cells including but not limited to gap junctions, desmosomes, and tight junctions, but excluding direct cytoplasmic junctions such as ring canals.

Complex of peripheral cytoplasmic proteins (alpha-, beta- and gamma-catenin) that interact with the cytoplasmic region of uvomorulin/E-cadherin to connect it to the actin cytoskeleton.

A cell junction at which the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane is attached to actin filaments.

The process by which genetic material, in the form of chromosomes, is physically separated into two or more sets during meiosis.

An adherens junction which connects two cells to each other.

A small junction assombled during the cellularization stage of insect embyrogenesis; spot adherens junctions later fuse to form the zonula adherens.

Catalysis of the reaction: UDP + H2O = UMP + phosphate.

Cell-cell adherens junction which forms a continuous belt near the apex of epithelial cells.

A broad intercellular junction in the intercalated disk of cardiac muscle that anchors actin filaments.

development of secondary sexual characteristics

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the secondary sexual characteristics over time, from their formation to the mature structures. In humans, these include growth of axillary, chest, and pubic hair, voice changes, testicular/penile enlargement, breast development and menstrual periods. Development occurs in response to sex hormone secretion.
