Descriptions

Epidermal growth factor receptor plays critical roles in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. The extracellular region of the EGF receptor contains four subdomains (domains I, II, III, and IV). Self-association of EGFR is autoinhibited by intramolecular interaction between domain II and IV, which sequesters the dimerization arm within domain II. Glycosylation of an Asn residue in domain IV induces autoinhibition while its mutation disrupts autoinhibition. Glycosylations of Asn residues within domain II reduce autoinhibition.

10 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
basal plasma membrane The region of the plasma membrane located at the basal end of the cell. Often used in reference to animal polarized epithelial membranes, where the basal membrane is the part attached to the extracellular matrix, or in plant cells, where the basal membrane is defined with respect to the zygotic axis.
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
endoplasmic reticulum membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding the endoplasmic reticulum.
endosome A vacuole to which materials ingested by endocytosis are delivered.
endosome membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding an endosome.
Golgi membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding any of the compartments of the Golgi apparatus.
nuclear membrane Either of the lipid bilayers that surround the nucleus and form the nuclear envelope; excludes the intermembrane space.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
receptor complex Any protein complex that undergoes combination with a hormone, neurotransmitter, drug or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell function.

5 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
chromatin binding Binding to chromatin, the network of fibers of DNA, protein, and sometimes RNA, that make up the chromosomes of the eukaryotic nucleus during interphase.
epidermal growth factor binding Binding to epidermal growth factor.
epidermal growth factor receptor activity Combining with an epidermal growth factor receptor ligand and transmitting the signal across the plasma membrane to initiate a change in cell activity.
protein tyrosine kinase activity Catalysis of the reaction

13 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an epidermal growth factor stimulus.
cellular response to estradiol stimulus Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of stimulus by estradiol, a C18 steroid hormone hydroxylated at C3 and C17 that acts as a potent estrogen.
epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway The series of molecular signals initiated by binding of a ligand to the tyrosine kinase receptor EGFR (ERBB1) on the surface of a cell. The pathway ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
learning or memory The acquisition and processing of information and/or the storage and retrieval of this information over time.
negative regulation of apoptotic process Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptotic process.
neurogenesis Generation of cells within the nervous system.
phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group into a molecule, usually with the formation of a phosphoric ester, a phosphoric anhydride or a phosphoric amide.
positive regulation of cell growth Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, extent or direction of cell growth.
positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of epithelial cell proliferation.
positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of signal transduction mediated by the ERK1 and ERK2 cascade.
positive regulation of protein localization to early endosome Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of protein localization to early endosome.
positive regulation of protein phosphorylation Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of addition of phosphate groups to amino acids within a protein.
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.
