Axonal Transport
|
D001370 |
[The directed transport of ORGANELLES and molecules along nerve cell AXONS. Transport can be anterograde (from the cell body) or retrograde (toward the cell body). (Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 3d ed, pG3)

|
Axoneme
|
D054468 |
[A bundle of MICROTUBULES and MICROTUBULE-ASSOCIATED PROTEINS forming the core of each CILIUM or FLAGELLUM. In most eukaryotic cilia or flagella, an axoneme shaft has 20 microtubules arranged in nine doublets and two singlets.

Axons
|
D001369 |
[Nerve fibers that are capable of rapidly conducting impulses away from the neuron cell body.

|
Axotomy
|
D019771 |
[Transection or severing of an axon. This type of denervation is used often in experimental studies on neuronal physiology and neuronal death or survival, toward an understanding of nervous system disease.

Aza Compounds
|
D001372 |
[Organic chemicals where carbon atoms have been replaced by nitrogen atoms.
] |
|
Azabicyclo Compounds
|
D053961 |
[Bicyclic bridged compounds that contain a nitrogen which has three bonds. The nomenclature indicates the number of atoms in each path around the rings, such as [2.2.2] for three equal length paths. Some members are TROPANES and BETA LACTAMS.

|
Azacitidine
|
D001374 |
[A pyrimidine analogue that inhibits DNA methyltransferase, impairing DNA methylation. It is also an antimetabolite of cytidine, incorporated primarily into RNA. Azacytidine has been used as an antineoplastic agent.
] |
|
Azacosterol
|
D001373 |
[Diaza derivative of cholesterol which acts as a hypocholesteremic agent by blocking delta-24-reductase, which causes the accumulation of desmosterol.
] |
|
Azadirachta
|
D031601 |
[A plant genus of the family MELIACEAE. Members contain azadirachtin A (a limonoid commonly referred to as azadirachtin) and other TRITERPENES. They have been used in PESTICIDES. The old name of Melia azadirachta is very similar to a related plant, MELIA AZEDARACH.

|
Azaguanine
|
D001375 |
[One of the early purine analogs showing antineoplastic activity. It functions as an antimetabolite and is easily incorporated into ribonucleic acids.

|
Azaperone
|
D001376 |
[A butyrophenone used in the treatment of PSYCHOSES.
] |
|
Azaserine
|
D001377 |
[Antibiotic substance produced by various Streptomyces species. It is an inhibitor of enzymatic activities that involve glutamine and is used as an antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent.

|
Azasteroids
|
D001378 |
[Steroidal compounds in which one or more carbon atoms in the steroid ring system have been substituted with nitrogen atoms.
] |
|
Azathioprine
|
D001379 |
[An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)

|
Azauridine
|
D001380 |
[A triazine nucleoside used as an antineoplastic antimetabolite. It interferes with pyrimidine biosynthesis thereby preventing formation of cellular nucleic acids. As the triacetate, it is also effective as an antipsoriatic.

|
Azepines
|
D001381 |
[Seven membered heterocyclic rings containing a NITROGEN atom.

Azerbaijan
|
D001382 |
[A country located in Southwestern Asia, bordering the Caspian Sea, between Iran and Russia, with a small European portion north of the Caucasus range. The capital is Baku.
