Name: brain
Synonyms: brain structure
Definition: Cavitated compound organ which is comprised of gray and white matter and surrounds the cerebral ventricular system.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000008]
Name: nitric oxide-cGMP-mediated signaling
Synonyms: canonical nitric oxide signaling, classical nitric oxide signaling, nitric oxide-cGMP-mediated signal transduction, nitric oxide-cGMP-mediated signaling pathway, nitric oxide-cGMP-mediated signalling pathway, NO-cGMP signaling pathway
Definition: An intracellular signaling cassette in which the signal is passed on within the cell by nitric oxide (NO) activating soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). Includes synthesis of nitric oxide, guanylyl cyclase activity, and downstream effectors that further transmit the signal within the cell following activation by cGMP.
