All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Glucagon-Like Peptide Positive Neoplastic Cells Present	NCIT_C60706
McGill Pain Questionnaire	NCIT_C21135	[A questionnaire incorporating a series of adjectives to describe the characteristics and intensity of pain. The longer version of this instrument was used by Kane and colleagues to evaluate a clinical trial of hospice care. (Wales 1983)]
Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire	NCIT_C21136	[A questionnaire incorporating a series of adjectives to describe the characteristics and intensity of pain. The longer version of this instrument was used by Kane and colleagues to evaluate a clinical trial of hospice care (Wales 1983)]
Morpholino	NCIT_C60700	[An antisense oligonucleotide modified to be more stable than RNA. While morpholinos have standard nucleic acid bases, those bases are bound to morpholine rings instead of deoxyribose rings and linked through phosphorodiamidate groups instead of phosphates. Morpholinos are used to inhibit translation or splicing of specific, complementary mRNAs.]
Oligonucleotide	NCIT_C713	[A DNA polymer made up of a small number of nucleotides.]
Memorial Pain Questionnaire	NCIT_C21137	[A two-sided card that measures pain intensity and the patient's mood on one side, and has a modified version of the Tursky Pain Description Scale on the other. (Fishman 1987)]
Allograft	NCIT_C60701	[A graft transferred from a donor of one species to a recipient of the same species but different genetic makeup.]
Graft	NCIT_C12981	[Tissue or organ transplanted from a donor to a recipient.]
Patient Outcome Questionnaire	NCIT_C21138	[Questionnaire designed as part of the APS's guidelines for pain treatment. The instrument measures pain severity, interference, satisfaction with pain control, and various aspects of pain treatment and medication. (APS 1995)]
Random	NCIT_C60702	[Governed by or depending on chance; lacking any definite plan or order or purpose.]
Integrated Pain Scale	NCIT_C21142	[An instrument designed to take into account both pain intensity and duration. (Ventafridda 1983)]
Myelopoiesis	NCIT_C21143	[The hematopoietic process that refers to the production of myelocytes.]
Myeloid Cell Differentiation	NCIT_C96832	[The biological process that refers to the maturation of myelocytes.]
TNFSF10 Gene	NCIT_C21144	[This gene is involved in apoptosis and inflammatory responses.]
Apoptosis	NCIT_C17557	[A form of programmed cell death that begins when a cell receives internal or external signals, then proceeds through a series of characteristic stages typically including rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopods, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), and plasma membrane blebbing, and ends with the death of the cell.]
ADAM Family Protein	NCIT_C21145	[The ADAM family consists of transmembrane proteins that contain a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain. By virtue of these domains they have the potent for both cell adhesion and protease activities. Currently, the ADAM family has 29 membranes, although the function of most ADAM gene products is unknown. The ADAM gene products with known functions act in a highly diverse set of biological processes, including fertilization, neurogenesis, myogenesis, embryonic TGF-alpha release and the inflammatory response.]
Peptidase Family M12B	NCIT_C21159	[The Peptidase Family-M12B (Reprolysin Family, Adamalysins) consists of evolutionarily-related zinc metalloproteases of structural and functional similarity based on sequence conservation or residue identity. Some family members may not be active enzymes.]
ADAM Type Metalloprotease Domain	NCIT_C25863	[ADAMs are transmembrane proteins containing both a disintegrin and a metalloprotease domain. Two thirds of the proteins with an ADAM type metalloprotease domain also contain the zinc protease pattern which locates the active site of these proteases. As they contain an adhesion domain and a protease domain, ADAM proteins potentially have both cell adhesion and protease activities. They play a role in various biological processes, including fertilization, neurogenesis, myogenesis, embryonic TGF-alpha release and inflammatory response. In ADAMTS proteins, a closely related family of proteases, the metalloprotease and disintegrin domains are flanked by thrombospondin type I (TSP1) repeat. ADAMTS proteins are soluble, extracellular matrix proteases. (From InterPro IPR001590)]
Disintegrin Domain	NCIT_C13938	[It is an integrin binding domain originally identified in ADAM family proteins. (NCI)]
Plasma Membrane	NCIT_C13735	[The semipermeable membrane that encloses the cytoplasm of a cell.]
