GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)
Category:GO:0072564 ! blood microparticle formation
name: blood microparticle formation
namespace: biological_process
def: "The cellular component organization process in which microparticles bud off from a parent cell. A microparticle is a phospholipid microvesicle that is derived from any of several cell types, such as platelets, blood cells, endothelial cells, or others, and contains membrane receptors as well as other proteins characteristic of the parental cell." [GOC:BHF, GOC:mah, PMID:16373184]
comment: Note that this heterodimeric cytokine utilizes the IL-12p35 subunit as its alpha chain, which is also used by IL-35 as its alpha chain, and utilizes the IL-12p40 subunit as its beta chain, which is also used by IL-23 as its beta chain.
