specific granule membranecellular componentThe lipid bilayer surrounding a specific granule, a granule with a membranous, tubular internal structure, found primarily in mature neutrophil cells. Most are released into the extracellular fluid. Specific granules contain lactoferrin, lysozyme, vitamin B12 binding protein and elastase. [GOC:bf, PMID:7334549]
extracellular exosomecellular componentA vesicle that is released into the extracellular region by fusion of the limiting endosomal membrane of a multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. Extracellular exosomes, also simply called exosomes, have a diameter of about 40-100 nm.

Involved In

This protein is involved in 20 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
response to hypoxiabiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus indicating lowered oxygen tension. Hypoxia, defined as a decline in O2 levels below normoxic levels of 20.8 - 20.95%, results in metabolic adaptation at both the cellular and organismal level. [GOC:hjd]
proteolysisbiological processThe hydrolysis of proteins into smaller polypeptides and/or amino acids by cleavage of their peptide bonds. [GOC:bf, GOC:mah]
chemotaxisbiological processThe directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). [ISBN:0198506732]
signal transductionbiological processThe cellular process in which a signal is conveyed to trigger a change in the activity or state of a cell. Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell. [GOC:go_curators, GOC:mtg_signaling_feb11]
blood coagulationbiological processThe sequential process in which the multiple coagulation factors of the blood interact, ultimately resulting in the formation of an insoluble fibrin clot; it may be divided into three stages: stage 1, the formation of intrinsic and extrinsic prothrombin converting principle; stage 2, the formation of thrombin; stage 3, the formation of stable fibrin polymers. [PMID:30700128]
regulation of signaling receptor activitybiological processAny process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a signaling receptor activity. Receptor activity is when a molecule combines with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity. [GOC:dph, GOC:tb]
regulation of plasminogen activationbiological processAny process that modulates the rate, frequency or extent of plasminogen activation. Plasminogen activation is the process in which plasminogen is processed to plasmin. [GOC:BHF, GOC:dph, GOC:tb]
negative regulation of plasminogen activationbiological processAny process that decreases the rate, frequency or extent of plasminogen activation. Plasminogen activation is the process in which plasminogen is processed to plasmin. [GOC:BHF, GOC:dph, GOC:tb]
smooth muscle cell migrationbiological processThe orderly movement of a smooth muscle cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism. [CL:0000192, GOC:mtg_muscle]
regulation of smooth muscle cell migrationbiological processAny process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of smooth muscle cell migration. [CL:0000192, GOC:mtg_muscle]
regulation of cell adhesionbiological processAny process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of attachment of a cell to another cell or to the extracellular matrix. [GOC:mah]
plasminogen activationbiological processThe process in which inactive plasminogen is processed to active plasmin. This process includes cleavage at an internal Arg-Val site to form an N-terminal A-chain and C-terminal B-chain held together by a disulfide bond, and can include further proteolytic cleavage events to remove the preactivation peptide. [PMID:9548733]
regulation of cell adhesion mediated by integrinbiological processAny process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of cell adhesion mediated by integrin. [GOC:add]
urokinase plasminogen activator signaling pathwaybiological processThe series of molecular signals initiated by urokinase plasminogen activator binding to its receptor on the surface of a target cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. [GOC:gap, PMID:9417082]
regulation of cell population proliferationbiological processAny process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell proliferation. [GOC:jl]
