•  Apoptosis

  Apoptosis (ăpˈə-tō'sĭs ˌæpəpˈtoʊsɨs, ăpˈəp-tō'sĭs) is the process of programmed cell death (PCD) that may occur in multicellular organisms.

•  Adenylate cyclase

  Adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1, also known as adenylyl cyclase, adenyl cyclase or AC) is a lyase enzyme. It is a part of the cAMP-dependent pathway

•  Cyclic adenosine monophosphate

  Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP, cyclic AMP or 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is a second messenger important in many biological processes. cAMP is derived from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and used for intracellular signal transduction in many different organisms, conveying the cAMP-dependent pathway.

•  Calreticulin

  Calreticulin is a multifunctional protein that binds Ca ions, rendering it inactive. The Ca is bound with low affinity, but high capacity, and can be released on a signal. Calreticulin is located in storage compartments associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. Calreticulin is also known as calregulin, CRP55, CaBP3 and calsequestrin-like protein. The term "Mobilferrin" is considered to be the same as calreticulin by some sources.

•  Hormone

  A hormone (from Greek ὁρμή - "impetus") is a chemical released by a cell in one part of the body, that sends out messages that affect cells in other parts of the organism. Only a small amount of hormone is required to alter cell metabolism. It is essentially a chemical messenger that transports a signal from one cell to another. All multicellular organisms produce hormones; plant hormones are also called phytohormones. Hormones in animals are often transported in the blood.

•  Phospholipase

  A phospholipase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids into fatty acids and other lipophilic substances. There are four major classes, termed A, B, C and D distinguished by what type of reaction they catalyze: Phospholipase A Phospholipase A1 - cleaves the SN-1 acyl chain Phospholipase A2 - cleaves the SN-2 acyl chain, releasing arachidonic acid Phospholipase B - cleaves both SN-1 and SN-2 acyl chains, also known as a lysophospholipase.

•  Chemical synapse

  Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which neurons signal to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits within the central nervous system. They are crucial to the biological computations that underlie perception and thought. They allow the nervous system to connect to and control other systems of the body.

•  Serotonin

  Serotonin or 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter that is primarily found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and central nervous system (CNS) of humans and animals. Approximately 80 percent of the human body's total serotonin is located in the enterochromaffin cells in the gut, where it is used to regulate intestinal movements.

•  Signal transduction

  In biology, signal transduction refers to any process by which a cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another. Most processes of signal transduction involve ordered sequences of biochemical reactions inside the cell, which are carried out by enzymes and activated by second messengers, resulting in a signal transduction pathway.

•  Phosphorylation

  File:Merge-arrows. svg It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Protein phosphorylation. Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate (PO4) group to a protein or other organic molecule. Phosphorylation activates or deactivates many protein enzymes, causing or preventing the mechanisms of diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Protein phosphorylation in particular plays a significant role in a wide range of cellular processes.
