| GO term | GO name | GO namespace | GO def |
| GO:0005515 | protein binding | molecular_function | Binding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators] |
| GO:0015248 | sterol transporter activity | molecular_function | Enables the directed movement of sterols into, out of or within a cell, or between cells. Sterol are steroids with one or more hydroxyl groups and a hydrocarbon side-chain in the molecule. [GOC:ai] |
| GO:0006695 | cholesterol biosynthetic process | biological_process | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of cholesterol, cholest-5-en-3 beta-ol, the principal sterol of vertebrates and the precursor of many steroids, including bile acids and steroid hormones. [GOC:ai] |
| GO:0008206 | bile acid metabolic process | biological_process | The chemical reactions and pathways involving bile acids, a group of steroid carboxylic acids occurring in bile, where they are present as the sodium salts of their amides with glycine or taurine. [GOC:go_curators] |
| GO:0030301 | cholesterol transport | biological_process | The directed movement of cholesterol, cholest-5-en-3-beta-ol, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0198506732] |
| GO:0032383 | regulation of intracellular cholesterol transport | biological_process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of cholesterol within cells. [GOC:mah] |
| GO:0090181 | regulation of cholesterol metabolic process | biological_process | Any process that modulates the rate, frequency, or extent of cholesterol metabolism, the chemical reactions and pathways involving cholesterol, cholest-5-en-3 beta-ol, the principal sterol of vertebrates and the precursor of many steroids, including bile acids and steroid hormones. [GOC:BHF, GOC:dph, GOC:tb] |
| GO:0005789 | endoplasmic reticulum membrane | cellular_component | The lipid bilayer surrounding the endoplasmic reticulum. [GOC:mah] |
| GO:0016125 | sterol metabolic process | biological_process | The chemical reactions and pathways involving sterols, steroids with one or more hydroxyl groups and a hydrocarbon side-chain in the molecule. [ISBN:0198547684] |
| GO:0005794 | Golgi apparatus | cellular_component | A membrane-bound cytoplasmic organelle of the endomembrane system that further processes the core oligosaccharides (e.g. N-glycans) added to proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and packages them into membrane-bound vesicles. The Golgi apparatus operates at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways. [ISBN:0198506732] |
| GO:0006665 | sphingolipid metabolic process | biological_process | The chemical reactions and pathways involving sphingolipids, any of a class of lipids containing the long-chain amine diol sphingosine or a closely related base (a sphingoid). [GOC:mah, ISBN:0198506732] |
| GO:0097036 | regulation of plasma membrane sterol distribution | biological_process | Any process that modulates the proportions or spatial arrangement of sterols in the plasma membrane. [GOC:mah, PMID:18441123, PMID:20823909] |
| GO:0032541 | cortical endoplasmic reticulum | cellular_component | A cortical network of highly dynamic tubules that are juxtaposed to the plasma membrane and undergo ring closure and tubule-branching movements. [GOC:se, PMID:10931860, PMID:17686782] |
| GO:0032366 | intracellular sterol transport | biological_process | The directed movement of sterols within cells. [GOC:mah] |
