clustering of voltage-gated sodium channels

clustering of voltage-dependent sodium channels

The process by which voltage gated sodium channels become localized together in high densities. In animals, nodes of Ranvier differ dramatically from internodal axonal regions in very high densities of voltage-dependent sodium (Nav) channels responsible for the rapid, inward ionic currents that produce membrane depolarization.

The commitment of cells to specific cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into particular kinds of cells. Positional information is established through protein signals that emanate from a localized source within a cell (the initial one-cell zygote) or within a developmental field.

asymmetric protein localization during cell fate commitment

cell fate commitment, asymmetric protein localization

The processes by which a protein is transported to, or maintained in, a specific asymmetric distribution, resulting in the formation of daughter cells of different types.

cell-cell signaling during cell fate commitment

cell-cell signalling resulting in cell fate commitment

Signaling at long or short range between cells that results in the commitment of a cell to a certain fate.

A large intracellular spectrin-rich structure that has been found in insect germline cells and mammalian hematopoietic cells. The fusome is an elongated, branched structure, formed from the spherical spectrosome organelle.

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Specificity similar to chymotrypsin C.

Catalysis of the preferential cleavage of Tyr-Xaa

electron transporter, transferring electrons within CoQH2-cytochrome c reductase complex activity

Enables the directed movement of electrons within the CoQH2-cytochrome c reductase complex.

electron transporter, transferring electrons from CoQH2-cytochrome c reductase complex and cytochrome c oxidase complex activity

Enables the directed movement of electrons from the CoQH2-cytochrome c reductase complex and the cytochrome c oxidase complex.

Interacting selectively with a class II myosin, any member of the class of 'conventional' double-headed myosins that includes muscle myosin.
