| positive regulation of cell growth |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, extent or direction of cell growth. |
| positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of intracellular signal transduction. |
| positive regulation of mitochondrial membrane permeability |
Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the passage or uptake of molecules by the mitochondrial membrane. |
| positive regulation of the force of heart contraction |
Any process that increases the force of heart muscle contraction. |
| positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter. |
| potassium ion transmembrane transport |
A process in which a potassium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. |
| proton transmembrane transport |
The directed movement of a proton across a membrane. |
| regulation of cardiac muscle contraction by calcium ion signaling |
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cardiac muscle contraction by changing the calcium ion signals that trigger contraction. |
| regulation of intracellular pH |
Any process that modulates the internal pH of a cell, measured by the concentration of the hydrogen ion. |
| regulation of pH |
Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal equilibrium of hydrogen ions, thereby modulating the internal pH, within an organism or cell. |
| regulation of sensory perception of pain |
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the sensory perception of pain, the series of events required for an organism to receive a painful stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. |
| regulation of the force of heart contraction |
Any process that modulates the extent of heart contraction, changing the force with which blood is propelled. |
| regulation of the force of heart contraction by cardiac conduction |
A cardiac conduction process that modulates the extent of heart contraction, changing the force with which blood is propelled. |
| response to acidic pH |
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a pH stimulus with pH < 7. pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. |
