Catalysis of the reaction: an 11-beta-hydroxysteroid + NADP+ = an 11-oxosteroid + NADPH + H+.

Catalysis of the reaction: acyl-CoA + 2-acylglycerol = CoA + diacylglycerol.

Catalysis of the reaction: 2-acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + acetate.

The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized during the embryonic phase. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The embryonic phase begins with zygote formation. The end of the embryonic phase is organism-specific and may be somewhat arbitrary. For example, it would be at birth for mammals, larval hatching for insects and seed dormancy in plants.

The chemical reactions involving tryptophan, the chiral amino acid 2-amino-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid.

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an oocyte over time, from initial commitment of the cell to its specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell.

The breakdown into simpler components of tryptophan, the chiral amino acid 2-amino-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid.

vascular endothelial growth factor receptor binding

vascular endothelial growth factor receptor ligand

Interacting selectively with any vascular endothelial growth factor receptor.

Interacting selectively with the stem cell factor receptor (SCFR), a type III transmembrane kinase receptor.

Interacting selectively with a CD27, a receptor found on the surface of T cells and some B cells and NK cells.

Interacting selectively with an integrin.

Catalysis of the reaction: UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + beta-D-mannosyl-R = UDP + 4-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)-beta-D-mannosyl-R.

The chemical reactions involving leucine, 2-amino-4-methylpentanoic acid.

Any substance formed in very small amounts in one specialized organ or group of cells and carried (sometimes in the bloodstream) to another organ or group of cells, in the same organism, upon which it has a specific regulatory action. The term was originally applied to agents with a stimulatory physiological action in vertebrate animals (as opposed to a chalone, which has a depressant action). Usage is now extended to regulatory compounds in lower animals and plants, and to synthetic substances having comparable effects.
