All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
CHGA Gene	NCIT_C21167	[This gene plays a role in the modulation of the neuroendocrine system.]
Chromogranin Gene	NCIT_C21200	[Chromogranin Genes encode Chromogranins, widespread heterogenous acidic soluble glycopropolypeptide constituents of neuroendocrine and chromaffin cell secretory granules that elicit an effect themselves or serve as precursors to many biologically active peptides. (NCI)]
Gram per 100 Grams	NCIT_C69101	[A unit of a mass fraction expressed as a number of grams of substance per 100 grams of mixture.]
Immunoglobulin Binding Protein	NCIT_C21160	[Immunoglobulin Binding Proteins temporarily and non-covalently interact through physical forces of attraction and spatial complementarity with structurally-related Y-shaped monomeric or polymeric glycoproteins produced by B-lymphocytes that function as antibodies.]
Ligand Binding Protein	NCIT_C17728	[General term for proteins that have binding as a major function.]
Pound per Gallon	NCIT_C69102	[A unit of mass concentration defined as the concentration of one pound of a substance in unit volume of the mixture equal to one gallon. The concept also refers to the unit of mass density (volumic mass) defined as the density of substance which mass equal to one pound occupies the volume one gallon.]
Unit of Mass Density	NCIT_C42575	[An indication of the type of unit of measure being used to express a mass density.]
Unit of Mass Concentration	NCIT_C64571	[A concentration unit measured as the mass of solute per volume of mixture.]
Beta-Microseminoprotein	NCIT_C21161	[Beta-microseminoprotein (114 aa, ~13 kDa) is encoded by the human MSMB gene. This protein may play a role in prostate function and sperm development.]
Half Gallon	NCIT_C69103	[A unit of volume equal to 1/2 gallon.]
ITGAM Gene	NCIT_C21162	[This gene plays a role in extracellular matrix interactions and cellular adhesion.]
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 1	NCIT_C4689	[A rare immunodeficiency with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. It is caused by mutation in the ITGB2 gene on chromosome 21 which codes for the beta subunit of beta-2 integrin (CD18). The mutation results in significantly reduced or absent expression of CD18 on the surface of leukocytes which impairs their ability to migrate and interact with antigens. Initial clinical signs include omphalitis and delayed separation of the umbilical cord. The clinical course is marked by recurrent bacterial and fungal infection without pus formation. In instances where there is < 1% expression of CD18, prognosis is dismal with a high likelihood for life-threatening infection within the first year of life.]
Chemotactic Process	NCIT_C16422	[The characteristic directional movement or orientation of an organism or cell along a chemical concentration gradient either toward or away from the chemical stimulus.]
Gram per Kilogram	NCIT_C69104	[A unit of a mass fraction expressed as a number of grams of substance per kilogram of mixture. Gram per kilogram is also used as a dose calculation unit to express a quantity of substance in grams per one kilogram of body mass.]
Unit of Mass Fraction	NCIT_C48566	[A unit for measurement of a quotient of the mass of a substance (constituent) and the mass of the system containing all constituents in the mixture.]
TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 4	NCIT_C21163	[TNF receptor-associated factor 4 (470 aa, ~54 kDa) is encoded by the human TRAF4 gene. This protein plays a role in the modulation of TNF receptor superfamily-dependent signaling.]
Adaptor Signaling Protein	NCIT_C26231	[A class of signaling pathway proteins that function to mediate the coupling of multiple cell surface receptors to downstream signaling pathways in the regulation of various cellular functions. (from Oncogene 2001;20:6315-21)]
Half Liter	NCIT_C69105	[A non-SI unit of volume equal to 0.5 cubic decimeter, or 500 cubic centimeters.]
Anti-Basement Membrane Glomerulonephritis	NCIT_C35798	[Inflammation of the glomeruli secondary to presence of autoantibodies directed at specific antigenic targets within the glomerular basement membrane, causing hematuria, proteinuria, and impaired renal function.]
Glomerulonephritis	NCIT_C26784	[A renal disorder characterized by damage in the glomeruli. It may be acute or chronic, focal or diffuse, and it may lead to renal failure. Causes include autoimmune disorders, infections, diabetes, and malignancies.]
