Any process that modulates the activity of a caspase, any of a group of cysteine proteases involved in apoptosis.

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the pharyngeal muscle over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The pharyngeal muscle mediates feeding in nematodes.

histone demethylase activity (H3-K36 specific)

Catalysis of the reaction: methyl-lysine + alpha-ketoglutarate + O2 = succinate + CO2 + formaldehyde + lysine. The methyl-lysine residue is at position 36 of histone 3.

The formation from simpler components of biopolymers, long, repeating chains of monomers found in nature e.g. polysaccharides and proteins.

The breakdown into simpler components of biopolymers, long, repeating chains of monomers found in nature e.g. polysaccharides and proteins.

The chemical reactions involving apocarotenoids, a class of compounds derived from the oxidative cleavage of carotenoids, many of which are biologically important e.g. retinal and abscisic acid.

regulation of cell growth by extracellular stimulus

regulation of growth by external stimulus

Any process whereby external signals modulate the frequency, rate or extent of cell growth, the irreversible increase in size of a cell over time.

Pathway by which 3-methyl branched fatty acids are degraded. These compounds are not degraded by the normal peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway, because the 3-methyl blocks the dehydrogenation of the hydroxyl group by hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. The 3-methyl branched fatty acid is converted in several steps to pristenic acid, which can then feed into the beta-oxidative pathway.

A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a protozoan.

Combining with a phorbol ester to initiate a change in cell activity.

non-kinase phorbol ester receptor activity

Phorbol ester/diacylglycerol binding proteins that do not have intrinsic kinase activity.

Catalysis of the reaction: N-acetyl-L-Asp-L-Glu + H2O = N-acetyl-L-Asp + L-Glu.
