The control of viability and duration in the adult phase of the life-cycle.

The resealing of a cell plasma membrane after cellular wounding due to, for instance, mechanical stress.

The formation from simpler components of 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS), a naturally occurring mixed anhydride. It is an intermediate in the formation of a variety of sulfo compounds in biological systems.

The formation from simpler components of any of the forms of vitamin K, quinone-derived vitamins which are involved in the synthesis of blood-clotting factors in mammals.

The processes by which an organism enters and maintains a periodic, readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity. Usually accompanied by physical relaxation, the onset of sleep in humans and other mammals is marked by a change in the electrical activity of the brain.

The breakdown into simpler components of IDP, inosine 5'-diphosphate.

The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a natural killer cell.

A wavelike sequence of involuntary muscular contraction and relaxation that passes along a tubelike structure, such as the intestine, impelling the contents onwards.

The chemical reactions involving any of the forms of vitamin K, quinone-derived vitamins which are involved in the synthesis of blood-clotting factors in mammals. Vitamin K substances share a methylated naphthoquinone ring structure and vary in the aliphatic side chains attached to the molecule.

The breakdown into simpler components of unfolded or misfolded proteins transported from the endoplasmic reticulum and targeted to cytoplasmic proteasomes for degradation.

Locomotory behavior in a fully developed and mature organism.

Any process preventing the degeneration of the photoreceptor, a specialized cell type that is sensitive to light.

The chemical reactions involving quinone cofactors.

The orderly movement of glial cells, non-neuronal cells that provide support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system.
