Loosely bound to one surface of a membrane, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region.

Events resulting in the formation of a multilayered cellular sheath surrounding an invader and thus preventing its development. This defense mechanism is often seen in insects in response to nematodes or parasitoids, which are too large to be phagocytosed by individual hemocytes. In some organisms the capsule is blackened due to melanization.

membrane-associated protein with guanylate kinase activity interacting

Interacting selectively with any enzyme.

melanotic encapsulation of foreign target

Formation of a multilayered, melanized sheath of cells around a foreign invader.

The terminal region of a polytene chromosome.

Combining with the peptide myosuppressin to initiate a change in cell activity.

Modulates the activity of any of the phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks). Regulatory subunits can link a PI3K catalytic subunit to upstream signaling events and help position the catalytic subunits close to their lipid substrates.

The increase in length of the aristal core. The arista is the terminal segment of the antenna and consists of a central core and a series of lateral extensions.

regulation of immune cell granule exocytosis

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of immune cell degranulation.

The process that gives rise to the patterns of cell differentiation in the cuticle.

positive regulation of immune cell degranulation

positive regulation of immune cell granule exocytosis

Any process that activates or increases the rate, frequency or extent of immune cell degranulation.

adult cuticle pattern formation (sensu Insecta)

The process that gives rise to the patterns of cell differentiation that will arise in the adult cuticle. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557).

The regulated exocytosis of secretory granules containing preformed mediators such as histamine, serotonin, and neutral proteases by a mast cell.

The process by which an organism retains a population of somatic stem cells, undifferentiated cells in the embryo or adult which can undergo unlimited division and give rise to cell types of the body other than those of the germ-line.
