All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Interferon Gamma	NCIT_C20496	[Interferon gamma (166 aa, ~19 kDa) is encoded by the human IFNG gene. This protein is involved in antiviral activity, macrophage activation, antiproliferative activity and immunopotentiation.]
Molecular Nanotechnology	NCIT_C20491	[A multidisciplinary field that focuses on the ability to engineer and manipulate functional systems at the molecular level. These systems are comprised of atomic units and are quantitated utilizing nanoscale measurements.]
Nanotechnology	NCIT_C18478	[A multidisciplinary field that strives to comprehend the interactions of cellular components, molecular components and engineered materials at the nanoscale (i.e., less than 100 nanometers). This discipline focuses on the understanding and control of matter at the nanoscale, wherein unique phenomena enable novel applications.]
Fms-Related Tyrosine Kinase 3 Ligand	NCIT_C20492	[Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (235 aa, ~26 kDa) is encoded by the human FLT3LG gene. This protein is involved in the positive regulation of hematopoietic cell proliferation.]
Distal Hereditary Motor Neuronopathy Type I	NCIT_C132826	[An autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by juvenile onset, distal motor weakness without sensory impairment, and anterior horn cell degeneration.]
Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease	NCIT_C75467	[An inherited degenerative disorder involving the peripheral nerves. It is caused by mutations in the genes that are responsible for the production of proteins necessary for the function and structure of the peripheral nerves. It is characterized by muscle atrophy and weakness in the feet, legs, hands, and arms and loss of sensation in the limbs.]
Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis 2	NCIT_C132827	[An autosomal recessive condition caused by mutation(s) in the ALOX12B gene, encoding arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase, 12R-type. It is characterized by dry, thickened, scaly skin.]
ALOX12B Gene	NCIT_C96337	[This gene is involved in fatty acid oxidation.]
Visual Analog Scale	NCIT_C121547	[A psychometric response scale to assess subjective characteristics or symptoms, which relies upon a continuum of possible result values in between two fixed end-points.]
Distress Score 0	NCIT_C132829	[A subjective score of 0 on a visual analogue scale that ranges from 0: No distress to 10: Extreme distress.]
Suicide Gene	NCIT_C132840	[A gene which will cause a cell to kill itself, typically through interaction with a prodrug.]
Imeglimin	NCIT_C132841
Auriclosene	NCIT_C132842
Pentiapine	NCIT_C132843
Dopamine Antagonist	NCIT_C66883	[Any agent that binds to and blocks dopamine receptors.]
Technetium Tc 99m Lidofenin	NCIT_C132844
6,7-Epidrospirenone	NCIT_C132845
Almagodrate	NCIT_C132846
RAS Wild Type	NCIT_C132847	[A genetic finding indicating that RAS family gene mutations are absent in a sample.]
Lymphocyte	NCIT_C12535	[White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each); those with characteristics of neither major class are called null cells.]
