Down-Regulation - Preferred

Concept UI	M0023902
Scope note	A negative regulatory effect on physiological processes at the molecular, cellular, or systemic level. At the molecular level, the major regulatory sites include membrane receptors, genes (GENE EXPRESSION REGULATION), mRNAs (RNA, MESSENGER), and proteins.
Preferred term	Down-Regulation
Entry term(s)	Down Regulation Down-Regulation (Physiology) Downregulation

Receptor Down-Regulation - Narrower

Concept UI	M0374370
Scope note	A negative regulatory process that decreases ligand-receptor interactions. Reduction in receptor binding after ligand exposure can result from the internalization of ligand-receptor complex, an increase in receptor degradation, and/or a decrease in gene expression resulting in a decrease in receptor biosynthesis.
Preferred term	Receptor Down-Regulation
Entry term(s)	Down-Regulation, Receptor
