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.

development of primary sexual characteristics

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the primary sexual characteristics over time, from their formation to the mature structures. The primary sexual characteristics are the testes in males and the ovaries in females and they develop in response to sex hormone secretion.

Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to an acceptor molecule.

The covalent or conformational alteration of one or more fatty acids in a lipid, resulting in a change in that lipid.

Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to the carbon atom of an acceptor molecule.

Covalent attachment of a glycosyl residue to a lipid molecule.

The formation from simpler components of ceramides, any N-acylated sphingoid.

The breakdown into simpler components of ceramides, any N-acetylated sphingoid.

The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of an epidermal cutaneous structure.

The process by which the anatomical structures of embryonic epithelia are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.

Used as a holding place for cellular components whose precise localization is, as yet, unknown, or has not been determined by GO (the latter is the major reason for nodes to have this parent); this term should not be used for annotation of gene products.

The chemical reactions involving sphingoids, any of a class of compounds comprising sphinganine and its homologues and stereoisomers, and derivatives of these compounds.
