| molecular function |
|---|
| | GO:0001664 | | G-protein coupled receptor binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a G-protein coupled receptor. |
| | GO:0005179 | | hormone activity | | The action characteristic of a hormone, any substance formed in very small amounts in one specialized organ or group of cells and carried (sometimes in the bloodstream) to another organ or group of cells in the same organism, upon which it has a specific regulatory action. The term was originally applied to agents with a stimulatory physiological action in vertebrate animals (as opposed to a chalone, which has a depressant action). Usage is now extended to regulatory compounds in lower animals and plants, and to synthetic substances having comparable effects; all bind receptors and trigger some biological process. |
| | GO:0005184 | | neuropeptide hormone activity | | The action characteristic of a neuropeptide hormone, any peptide hormone that acts in the central nervous system. A neuropeptide is any of several types of molecules found in brain tissue, composed of short chains of amino acids; they include endorphins, enkephalins, vasopressin, and others. They are often localized in axon terminals at synapses and are classified as putative neurotransmitters, although some are also hormones. |
| | GO:0005102 | | receptor binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with one or more specific sites on a receptor molecule, a macromolecule that undergoes combination with a hormone, neurotransmitter, drug or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell function. |
| biological process |
|---|
| | GO:0007267 | | cell-cell signaling | | Any process that mediates the transfer of information from one cell to another. This process includes signal transduction in the receiving cell and, where applicable, release of a ligand and any processes that actively facilitate its transport and presentation to the receiving cell. Examples include signaling via soluble ligands, via cell adhesion molecules and via gap junctions. |
| | GO:0007586 | | digestion | | The whole of the physical, chemical, and biochemical processes carried out by multicellular organisms to break down ingested nutrients into components that may be easily absorbed and directed into metabolism. |
| | GO:0007631 | | feeding behavior | | Behavior associated with the intake of food. |
| | GO:0007218 | | neuropeptide signaling pathway | | The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a peptide neurotransmitter binding to a cell surface receptor. |
| | GO:0002230 | | positive regulation of defense response to virus by host | | Any host process that results in the promotion of antiviral immune response mechanisms, thereby limiting viral replication. |
| | GO:0098779 | | positive regulation of macromitophagy in response to mitochondrial depolarization | | The macromitophagy process that is triggered by a detection of the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. |
| | GO:0009306 | | protein secretion | | The controlled release of proteins from a cell. |
| | GO:0032098 | | regulation of appetite | | Any process which modulates appetite, the desire or physical craving for food. |
| | GO:0098792 | | xenophagy | | The macroautophagy process in which a region of cytoplasm containing an intracellular pathogen or some part of an intracellular pathogen (e.g. viral capsid) is enclosed in a double membrane bound autophagosome, which then fuses with the lysosome leading to degradation of the contents. |
| cellular component |
|---|
| | GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| | 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. |
