Descriptor osmorregulación
Scope note: Respuesta de las células en la percepción de diferencias en la PRESIÓN OSMÓTICA entre el interior y el exterior de la célula. Esta respuesta incluye la señalización a partir de los sensores osmóticos para activar los factores de transcripción, que a su vez regulan la expresión de genes osmocompensadores, y todos ellos funcionan para mantener el VOLUMEN CELULAR y la concentración de agua en el interior de las células.

Scope note: The response of cells in sensing a difference in OSMOTIC PRESSURE between the inside and outside of the cell. This response includes signaling from osmotic sensors to activate transcription factors, which in turn regulate the expression of osmocompensatory genes, all functioning to maintain CELL VOLUME and the water concentration inside the cells.
