An action or movement due to the application of a sudden unexpected stimulus.

Interacting selectively with a G-protein alpha subunit. The alpha subunit binds a guanine nucleotide.

Specific actions of a newborn or infant mammal that result in the derivation of nourishment from the breast.

Interacting selectively with a fibronectin, a group of related adhesive glycoproteins of high molecular weight found on the surface of animal cells, connective tissue matrices, and in extracellular fluids.

regulation of activation of membrane attack complex

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the activation of the membrane attack complex components of the complement cascade.

Catalysis of the reaction: H2O + L-1-glycero-3-phosphocholine = glycerol-3-phosphate + choline.

cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate. An animal enzyme that is active in forming a chloride channel, the absence of which brings about cystic fibrosis. It is also involved in the functioning of other transmembrane channels.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of attachment of a cell to the extracellular matrix.

Catalysis of the reaction: H2O + acylglycerol = a fatty acid + glycerol.

negative regulation of cell-matrix adhesion

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix.

The process whose specific outcome is the formation of a stable blood vessel, once the initial vessel is formed.

positive regulation of neurotransmitter secretion

Any process that activates or increases the rate, frequency or extent of the regulated release of a neurotransmitter.

The formation of bone in which osteoblasts secrete a collage-proteoglycan matrix that binds calcium salts and becomes calcified. Intramembranous ossification is the way flat bones and the shell of a turtle are formed.

The formation of bone by the replacement of cartilage tissue with mineralized bone.

regulation of cytokine and chemokine mediated signaling pathway
