Interacting selectively with oxysterol, an oxidized form of cholesterol.

Interacting selectively with the poly(A) tail, a sequence of adenylyl residues at the 3' end of eukaryotic mRNA.

Interacting selectively with a drug, any naturally occurring or synthetic substance, other than a nutrient, that, when administered or applied to an organism, affects the structure or functioning of the organism; in particular, any such substance used in the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease.

The continuous network of membranes encompassing the outer nuclear membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum.

nitric oxide synthase regulator activity

Modulates the activity of nitric oxide synthase.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the breakdown into simpler components of a protein by the destruction of the native, active configuration, with or without the hydrolysis of peptide bonds.

Catalysis of the transfer of a sulfate group from 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to the hydroxyl group of an acceptor, producing the sulfated derivative and 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate.

A process that attenuates the inflammatory response.

Interacting selectively with cadherin, a type I membrane protein involved in cell adhesion.

negative regulation of protein catabolism

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate of the breakdown into simpler components of a protein by the destruction of the native, active configuration, with or without the hydrolysis of peptide bonds.

The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of bone.

The specification of male sex of an individual organism.

Structure or material found in the flagella of mammalian sperm that surrounds each of the nine microtubule doublets, giving a 9 + 9 + 2 arrangement rather than the 9 + 2 pattern usually seen. These dense fibers are stiff and noncontractile.

The chemical reactions involving retinoids, any member of a class of isoprenoids that contain or are derived from four prenyl groups linked head-to-tail. Retinoids include retinol and retinal and structurally similar natural derivatives or synthetic compounds, but need not have vitamin A activity.
