Label	Id	Description
A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease with Thrombospondin Motifs 9	NCIT_C21279	[A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 9 (1935 aa, ~216 kDa) is encoded by the human ADAMTS9 gene. This protein is involved in the degradation of proteoglycans.]
Female Reproductive System Cancer TNM Finding v6	NCIT_C64406	[A finding about one or more characteristics of female reproductive system cancer, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v6 classification system.]
Ovarian Cancer Pathologic TNM Finding v6	NCIT_C60888	[A pathologic finding about one or more characteristics of ovarian cancer, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v6 classification system.]
Ovarian Cancer Pathologic Distant Metastasis TNM Finding v6	NCIT_C60889	[A pathologic finding about one or more characteristics of ovarian cancer, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v6 classification system as they pertain to distant metastases. TNM pathologic distant metastasis findings are based on clinical findings supplemented by histopathologic examination of one or more tissue specimens acquired during surgery.]
Alpha-1A Adrenergic Receptor	NCIT_C21285	[Alpha-1A adrenergic receptor (466 aa, ~51 kDa) is encoded by the human ADRA1A gene. This protein is involved in smooth muscle contraction, cell proliferation, apoptosis and signal transduction.]
Alpha Adrenergic Receptor	NCIT_C20932	[Expressed by Alpha Adrenergic Receptor Genes in effector tissues innervated by postganglionic sympathetic adrenergic fibers, Alpha Adrenergic Receptors are one of two major classes of adrenergic receptors (alpha and beta) based on their reactions to norepinephrine and epinephrine, on cellular effects of receptor activation, and on relative affinities and reactions to synthetic blocking or stimulating agents. Alpha-adrenergic receptors respond to blocking agents such as phenoxybenzamine and phentolamine. When coupled to adenylate cyclase through Gi protein, Alpha Adrenergic Receptor stimulation results in decreased intracellular cyclic AMP.]
ADRA2A Gene	NCIT_C21286	[This gene plays a role in the regulation of neurotransmitter release from nerves and neurons in the central nervous system.]
Alpha Adrenergic Receptor Gene	NCIT_C20933	[Expressed in effector tissues innervated by postganglionic sympathetic adrenergic fibers, Alpha Adrenergic Receptor Genes encode Alpha Adrenergic Receptors, one of two major classes of adrenergic receptors (alpha and beta) based on their reactions to norepinephrine and epinephrine, on cellular effects of receptor activation, and on relative affinities and reactions to synthetic blocking or stimulating agents. Alpha-adrenergic receptors respond to blocking agents such as phenoxybenzamine and phentolamine. When coupled to adenylate cyclase through Gi protein, Alpha Adrenergic Receptor stimulation results in decreased intracellular cyclic AMP.]
Regulation of Cell Shape	NCIT_C20748	[Intracellular or extracellular processes that control, manage, or govern adoption or maintenance of sustained or transient changes in cell shape. (NCI)]
G Protein-Coupled Receptor Signaling	NCIT_C21591	[A cellular process that initiates with the binding of a G protein-associated transmembrane receptor to its cognate ligand,and results in a specific cellular response. This process is involved in signaling related to neurotranmission, immune responses, and cellular metabolism, differentiation and proliferation.]
Regulation of Cell Size	NCIT_C21576	[Intracellular or extracellular processes that control, manage, or govern adoption, production, or maintenance of sustained or transient changes in cell size.]
Cell Motility	NCIT_C16404	[Cell Motility consists of active translocation of a whole cell, or cell body, from one site to another; distinct from cell motion that involves movement of cell processes (e.g., axons, microvilli, etc.). (NCI)]
Stimulation of Cell Proliferation	NCIT_C20863	[Stimulation of Cell Proliferation involves intercellular, cellular, and subcellular mechanisms that induce, promote, sustain, or ensure cell division.]
Border Definition	NCIT_C69220	[A description of the boundary findings or features of a sample.]
Image Feature	NCIT_C70838	[In image processing, a piece of information which is relevant for solving the computational task related to a certain application, either specific structures in the image itself (e.g., simple structures such as points or edges to more complex structures such as objects) or the result of a general neighborhood operation (feature extractor or feature detector) applied to the image.]
Alpha-2A Adrenergic Receptor	NCIT_C21287	[Alpha-2A Adrenergic Receptor (450 aa, 49 kD) is a cell motility protein that is encoded by the human ADRA2A gene and has roles in actin cytoskeletal organization, cell motility, regulation of cell proliferation and signal transduction.]
Texture Descriptor	NCIT_C69221	[A description of the consistency findings or features of a sample.]
ADRA2B Gene	NCIT_C21288	[This gene is involved in transcriptional regulation and G protein-coupled receptor signal transduction.]
Positioner Primary Angle	NCIT_C69222	[Position of an object in reference to a patient, from the right anterior oblique to left anterior oblique direction.]
Angle	NCIT_C67505	[The inclination of one line to another or the plane of one object to another.]
