The change in morphology and behavior of a mature or immature natural killer T cell resulting from exposure to a mitogen, cytokine, chemokine, cellular ligand, or an antigen for which it is specific.

The commitment of cells to leading edge cell fate and their capacity to differentiate into leading edge cells. Leading edge cells are found at the front of a migrating epithelial sheet.

regulation of natural killer T cell activation

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of natural killer T cell activation.

Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a leading edge cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed.

dorsal closure, leading edge cell fate commitment

The commitment of cells to leading edge cell fate during dorsal closure. Leading edge cells are the dorsal-most cells of the migrating epidermis.

positive regulation of NK T cell activation

positive regulation of natural killer T cell activation

Any process that activates or increases the rate, frequency or extent of natural killer T cell activation.

regulation of natural killer T cell differentiation

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of natural killer T cell differentiation.

Interacting selectively and stoichiometrically with kinesin, a cytoplasmic protein responsible for moving vesicles and organelles towards the distal end of microtubules.

positive regulation of NK T cell differentiation

positive regulation of natural killer T cell differentiation

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate, frequency or extent of natural killer T cell differentiation.

The activity of linking kinesins, cytoplasmic proteins responsible for moving vesicles and organelles towards the distal end of microtubules, to mitochondria.

Catalysis of the reaction: metal ion(in) + H+(out) = metal ion(out) + H+(in).

The directed movement of mitochondria along microtubules in nerve cell axons.

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