Progression of the ring gland over time, from its formation to a mature structure. The ring gland is a neuroendocrine organ found in higher Dipterans, which is composed of the prothoracic gland, the corpus allatum, and the corpora cardiacum. The ring gland is the site of production and release of ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones.

Progression of the exocrine system over time, from its formation to a mature structure. The exocrine system is a system of hormones and glands, where the glands secrete straight to a target site via ducts or tubes. The human exocrine system includes the salivary glands, sweat glands and many glands of the digestive system.

Interacting selectively with the Toll protein, a transmembrane receptor.

Interacting selectively with a phthalate, any ester or salt of phthalic acid.

Interacting selectively with the torso (tor) protein, a receptor tyrosine kinase.

Interacting selectively with diphenyl phthalate, C(20)H(14)O(4).

Interacting selectively with a death receptor.

Interacting selectively with dibutyl phthalate, C(16)H(22)O(4).

Interacting selectively with scavenger receptors, a family of proteins that are expressed on myeloid cells and are involved in the uptake of effete cellular components and foreign particles.

Interacting selectively with ethanol, CH(3)-CH(2)-OH.

Functions to control the survival, growth, differentiation and effector function of tissues and cells.

The process by which the anatomical structures of a spiracle are generated and organized. Spiracles are the openings in the insect tracheal system; externally they connect to the epidermis and internally they connect to the tracheal trunk.

hematopoietin/interferon-class (D200-domain) cytokine receptor binding

hematopoietin/interferon-class (D200-domain) cytokine receptor ligand

miRNA-mediated gene silencing, negative regulation of translation

The process by which microRNAs (miRNAs) block the translation of target mRNAs into proteins. Once incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a miRNA will typically repress translation if the miRNA imperfectly base-pairs with the 3' untranslated regions of target mRNAs.
