GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 3876
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Tnf
Name: tumor necrosis factor
Acc ID: DOID:9000772
Term: Bronchial Hyperreactivity
Definition: Tendency of the smooth muscle of the tracheobronchial tree to contract more intensely in response to a given stimulus than it does in the response seen in normal individuals. This condition is present in virtually all symptomatic patients with asthma. The most prominent manifestation of this smooth muscle contraction is a decrease in airway caliber that can be readily measured in the pulmonary function laboratory.
Definition Source(s): MESH:D016535
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
