biological process |
| GO:0048791 | | calcium ion-regulated exocytosis of neurotransmitter | | The release of a neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, where the release step is dependent on a rise in cytosolic calcium ion levels. |
| GO:0006887 | | exocytosis | | 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. |
| GO:0006886 | | intracellular protein transport | | The directed movement of proteins in a cell, including the movement of proteins between specific compartments or structures within a cell, such as organelles of a eukaryotic cell. |
| GO:0071985 | | multivesicular body sorting pathway | | A vesicle-mediated transport process in which transmembrane proteins are ubiquitylated to facilitate their entry into luminal vesicles of multivesicular bodies (MVBs); upon subsequent fusion of MVBs with lysosomes or vacuoles, the cargo proteins are degraded. |
| GO:0046676 | | negative regulation of insulin secretion | | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of insulin. |
| GO:0045921 | | positive regulation of exocytosis | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of exocytosis. |
| GO:0050714 | | positive regulation of protein secretion | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the controlled release of a protein from a cell. |
| GO:0017158 | | regulation of calcium ion-dependent exocytosis | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of calcium ion-dependent exocytosis. |
| GO:0006906 | | vesicle fusion | | Fusion of the membrane of a transport vesicle with its target membrane. |
cellular component |
| GO:0016324 | | apical plasma membrane | | The region of the plasma membrane located at the apical end of the cell. |
| GO:0005813 | | centrosome | | A structure comprised of a core structure (in most organisms, a pair of centrioles) and peripheral material from which a microtubule-based structure, such as a spindle apparatus, is organized. Centrosomes occur close to the nucleus during interphase in many eukaryotic cells, though in animal cells it changes continually during the cell-division cycle. |
| GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| GO:0031410 | | cytoplasmic vesicle | | A vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell. |
| GO:0005768 | | endosome | | A vacuole to which materials ingested by endocytosis are delivered. |
| GO:0070382 | | exocytic vesicle | | A transport vesicle that mediates transport from an intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane, and fuses with the plasma membrane to release various cargo molecules, such as proteins or hormones, by exocytosis. |
| GO:0019898 | | extrinsic component of membrane | | The component of a membrane consisting of gene products and protein complexes that are loosely bound to one of its surfaces, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region. |
| GO:0016020 | | membrane | | A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it. |
| GO:0005654 | | nucleoplasm | | That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus. |
| GO:0005886 | | plasma membrane | | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. |
| GO:0098793 | | presynapse | | The part of a synapse that is part of the presynaptic cell. |
| GO:0030141 | | secretory granule | | A small subcellular vesicle, surrounded by a membrane, that is formed from the Golgi apparatus and contains a highly concentrated protein destined for secretion. Secretory granules move towards the periphery of the cell and upon stimulation, their membranes fuse with the cell membrane, and their protein load is exteriorized. Processing of the contained protein may take place in secretory granules. |
| GO:0030667 | | secretory granule membrane | | The lipid bilayer surrounding a secretory granule. |
| GO:0030658 | | transport vesicle membrane | | The lipid bilayer surrounding a transport vesicle. |
