molecular function |
| GO:0050839 | | cell adhesion molecule binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a cell adhesion molecule. |
| 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. |
| GO:0004872 | | receptor activity | | Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity. |
| 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. |
| GO:0001618 | | virus receptor activity | | Combining with a virus component and mediating entry of the virus into the cell. |
biological process |
| GO:0034332 | | adherens junction organization | | A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an adherens junction. An adherens junction is a cell junction at which the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane is attached to actin filaments. |
| GO:0007155 | | cell adhesion | | The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules. |
| GO:0008037 | | cell recognition | | The process in which a cell in an organism interprets its surroundings. |
| GO:0007157 | | heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules | | The attachment of an adhesion molecule in one cell to a nonidentical adhesion molecule in an adjacent cell. |
| GO:0007156 | | homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules | | The attachment of a plasma membrane adhesion molecule in one cell to an identical molecule in an adjacent cell. |
| GO:0045954 | | positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity. |
| GO:0002860 | | positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity directed against tumor cell target | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity directed against tumor cell target. |
| GO:0050776 | | regulation of immune response | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the immune response, the immunological reaction of an organism to an immunogenic stimulus. |
| GO:0060370 | | susceptibility to T cell mediated cytotoxicity | | The process of causing a cell to become susceptible to T cell mediated cytotoxicity. |
| GO:0042271 | | susceptibility to natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity | | The process of causing a cell to become susceptible to natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity. |
| GO:0046718 | | viral entry into host cell | | The process that occurs after viral attachment by which a virus, or viral nucleic acid, breaches the plasma membrane or cell envelope and enters the host cell. The process ends when the viral nucleic acid is released into the host cell cytoplasm. |
| GO:0016032 | | viral process | | A multi-organism process in which a virus is a participant. The other participant is the host. Includes infection of a host cell, replication of the viral genome, and assembly of progeny virus particles. In some cases the viral genetic material may integrate into the host genome and only subsequently, under particular circumstances, 'complete' its life cycle. |
cellular component |
| GO:0009986 | | cell surface | | The external part of the cell wall and/or plasma membrane. |
| GO:0005913 | | cell-cell adherens junction | | An adherens junction which connects a cell to another cell. |
| GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| GO:0070062 | | extracellular exosome | | A vesicle that is released into the extracellular region by fusion of the limiting endosomal membrane of a multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. Extracellular exosomes, also simply called exosomes, have a diameter of about 40-100 nm. |
| 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. |
| GO:0005925 | | focal adhesion | | Small region on the surface of a cell that anchors the cell to the extracellular matrix and that forms a point of termination of actin filaments. |
| GO:0016021 | | integral component of membrane | | The component of a membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane. |
| GO:0005887 | | integral component of plasma membrane | | The component of the plasma membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane. |
| GO:0016020 | | membrane | | A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it. |
| GO:0005886 | | plasma membrane | | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. |
