3 GO annotations of cellular component
Name | Definition |
---|---|
cytoplasm | The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
heterotrimeric G-protein complex | Any of a family of heterotrimeric GTP-binding and hydrolyzing proteins; they belong to a superfamily of GTPases that includes monomeric proteins such as EF-Tu and RAS. Heterotrimeric G-proteins consist of three subunits; the alpha subunit contains the guanine nucleotide binding site and possesses GTPase activity; the beta and gamma subunits are tightly associated and function as a beta-gamma heterodimer; extrinsic plasma membrane proteins (cytoplasmic face) that function as a complex to transduce signals from G protein-coupled receptors to an effector protein. |
plasma membrane | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. |
8 GO annotations of molecular function
Name | Definition |
---|---|
corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 binding | Binding to a corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRHR1). CRHR1 is the major subtype in the pituitary corticotroph, and mediates the stimulatory actions of corticotropin-releasing hormone on corticotropin hormone secretion. CRHR1 are also located in cortical areas of the brain, cerebellum and limbic system. |
G protein-coupled receptor binding | Binding to a G protein-coupled receptor. |
G protein-coupled serotonin receptor binding | Binding to a metabotropic serotonin receptor. |
G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding | Binding to a complex of G-protein beta/gamma subunits. |
GTP binding | Binding to GTP, guanosine triphosphate. |
GTPase activity | Catalysis of the reaction |
metal ion binding | Binding to a metal ion. |
mu-type opioid receptor binding | Binding to a mu-type opioid receptor. |
17 GO annotations of biological process
Name | Definition |
---|---|
adenylate cyclase-modulating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway | A G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway in which the signal is transmitted via the activation or inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity and a subsequent change in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP (cAMP). |
asymmetric cell division | The asymmetric division of cells to produce two daughter cells with different developmental potentials. It is of fundamental significance for the generation of cell diversity. |
axon ensheathment in central nervous system | The process in which a glial cell membrane closes around an axon in the central nervous system. This can be a myelinating or a non-myelinating neuron-glial interaction. |
behavioral response to starvation | Any process that results in a change in the behavior of an organism as a result of deprivation of nourishment. |
calcium-mediated signaling | Any intracellular signal transduction in which the signal is passed on within the cell via calcium ions. |
cell adhesion involved in heart morphogenesis | The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules that contributes to the shaping of the heart. |
cortical actin cytoskeleton organization | A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of actin-based cytoskeletal structures in the cell cortex, i.e. just beneath the plasma membrane. |
dopamine receptor signaling pathway | The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a dopamine receptor binding to one of its physiological ligands. |
establishment of glial blood-brain barrier | Establishment of the glial barrier between the blood and the brain. The glial cells in the brain are packed tightly together preventing the passage of most molecules from the blood into the brain. Only lipid soluble molecules or those that are actively transported can pass through the blood-brain barrier. |
establishment of imaginal disc-derived wing hair orientation | Orientation of hairs in the imaginal disc-derived wing along a proximal-distal axis, such that each cell of the wing produces one wing hair which points in a distal direction. |
G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway | The series of molecular signals initiated by a ligand binding to its receptor, in which the activated receptor promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane. |
heart development | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the heart over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. |
negative regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction. |
non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway | The series of molecular signals initiated by binding of a Wnt protein to a frizzled family receptor on the surface of the target cell, followed by propagation of the signal via effectors other than beta-catenin. |
sensory perception of sweet taste | The series of events required to receive a sweet taste stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. |
septate junction assembly | The assembly of a septate junction, an intercellular junction found in invertebrate epithelia that is characterized by a ladder like appearance in electron micrographs and thought to provide structural strength and to provide a barrier to diffusion of solutes through the intercellular space. |
ventral cord development | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the ventral cord over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The ventral cord is one of the distinguishing traits of the central nervous system of all arthropods (such as insects, crustaceans and arachnids) as well as many other invertebrates, such as the annelid worms. |
