molecular function |
| GO:0005125 | | cytokine activity | | Functions to control the survival, growth, differentiation and effector function of tissues and cells. |
| GO:0019955 | | cytokine binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a cytokine, any of a group of proteins that function to control the survival, growth and differentiation of tissues and cells, and which have autocrine and paracrine activity. |
| GO:0005126 | | cytokine receptor binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a cytokine receptor. |
| GO:0005515 | | protein binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules). |
| GO:0042803 | | protein homodimerization activity | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer. |
biological process |
| GO:0051216 | | cartilage development | | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cartilage element over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cartilage elements are skeletal elements that consist of connective tissue dominated by extracellular matrix containing collagen type II and large amounts of proteoglycan, particularly chondroitin sulfate. |
| GO:0042089 | | cytokine biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of cytokines, any of a group of proteins that function to control the survival, growth and differentiation of tissues and cells, and which have autocrine and paracrine activity. |
| GO:0006954 | | inflammatory response | | The immediate defensive reaction (by vertebrate tissue) to infection or injury caused by chemical or physical agents. The process is characterized by local vasodilation, extravasation of plasma into intercellular spaces and accumulation of white blood cells and macrophages. |
| GO:0042109 | | lymphotoxin A biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of the cytokine lymphotoxin A. |
| GO:0016525 | | negative regulation of angiogenesis | | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of angiogenesis. |
| GO:1900017 | | positive regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response. |
| GO:2000778 | | positive regulation of interleukin-6 secretion | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of interleukin-6 secretion. |
| GO:0045944 | | positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter. |
| GO:0045423 | | regulation of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor biosynthetic process | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor. |
| GO:0045076 | | regulation of interleukin-2 biosynthetic process | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of interleukin-2. |
| GO:0045408 | | regulation of interleukin-6 biosynthetic process | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of interleukin-6. |
| GO:0045414 | | regulation of interleukin-8 biosynthetic process | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of interleukin-8. |
| GO:0017015 | | regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of activity of any TGF-beta receptor signaling pathway. |
cellular component |
| GO:0005576 | | extracellular region | | The space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite. |
| GO:0005615 | | extracellular space | | That part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid. |
