| generation of precursor metabolites and energy | biological process | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of precursor metabolites, substances from which energy is derived, and any process involved in the liberation of energy from these substances. [GOC:jl] |
| exocytosis | biological process | A process of secretion by a cell that results in the release of intracellular molecules (e.g. hormones, matrix proteins) contained within a membrane-bounded vesicle. Exocytosis can occur either by full fusion, when the vesicle collapses into the plasma membrane, or by a kiss-and-run mechanism that involves the formation of a transient contact, a pore, between a granule (for exemple of chromaffin cells) and the plasma membrane. The latter process most of the time leads to only partial secretion of the granule content. Exocytosis begins with steps that prepare vesicles for fusion with the membrane (tethering and docking) and ends when molecules are secreted from the cell. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0716731363, PMID:22323285] |
| cell surface receptor signaling pathway | biological process | The series of molecular signals initiated by an extracellular ligand binding to a receptor located on the cell surface. The pathway ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. [GOC:signaling] |
| adenylate cyclase-modulating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway | biological process | A G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway in which the signal is transmitted via the activation or inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity and a subsequent change in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP (cAMP). [GOC:mah, GOC:signaling, ISBN:0815316194] |
| adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway | biological process | A G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway in which the signal is transmitted via the activation of adenylyl cyclase activity which results in an increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP (cAMP). This pathway is negatively regulated by phosphodiesterase, which cleaves cAMP and terminates the signaling. [GOC:dph, GOC:mah, GOC:signaling, GOC:tb, ISBN:0815316194] |
| response to nutrient | biological process | Any 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 nutrient stimulus. [GOC:go_curators] |
| regulation of blood pressure | biological process | Any process that modulates the force with which blood travels through the circulatory system. The process is controlled by a balance of processes that increase pressure and decrease pressure. [GOC:dph, GOC:mtg_cardio, ISBN:0721643949] |
| hormone-mediated signaling pathway | biological process | The series of molecular signals mediated by the detection of a hormone. [GOC:sm] |
| glucose homeostasis | biological process | Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of glucose within an organism or cell. [GOC:go_curators] |
| response to starvation | biological process | Any 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 starvation stimulus, deprivation of nourishment. [GOC:go_curators] |
| regulation of glycogen metabolic process | biological process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving glycogen. [GOC:mah] |
| cellular response to glucagon stimulus | biological process | Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a glucagon stimulus. [GOC:mah] |
