| GO term | GO name | GO namespace | GO def |
| GO:0001540 | amyloid-beta binding | molecular_function | Binding to an amyloid-beta peptide/protein. [GOC:hjd] |
| GO:0005515 | protein binding | molecular_function | Binding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators] |
| GO:0023052 | signaling | biological_process | The entirety of a process in which information is transmitted within a biological system. This process begins with an active signal and ends when a cellular response has been triggered. [GOC:mtg_signal, GOC:mtg_signaling_feb11, GOC:signaling] |
| GO:0050804 | modulation of chemical synaptic transmission | biological_process | Any process that modulates the frequency or amplitude of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse. Amplitude, in this case, refers to the change in postsynaptic membrane potential due to a single instance of synaptic transmission. [GOC:ai] |
| GO:0099563 | modification of synaptic structure | biological_process | Any process that modifies the structure/morphology of a synapse. [GOC:dos] |
| GO:0005886 | plasma membrane | cellular_component | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363] |
| GO:0014069 | postsynaptic density | cellular_component | An electron dense network of proteins within and adjacent to the postsynaptic membrane of an asymmetric, neuron-neuron synapse. Its major components include neurotransmitter receptors and the proteins that spatially and functionally organize them such as anchoring and scaffolding molecules, signaling enzymes and cytoskeletal components. [GOC:BHF, GOC:dos, GOC:ef, GOC:jid, GOC:pr, GOC:sjp, http://molneuro.kaist.ac.kr/psd, PMID:14532281, Wikipedia:Postsynaptic_density] |
| GO:0031594 | neuromuscular junction | cellular_component | The junction between the axon of a motor neuron and a muscle fiber. In response to the arrival of action potentials, the presynaptic button releases molecules of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These diffuse across the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane of the muscle fiber, leading to a change in post-synaptic potential. [GOC:nln] |
| GO:0098981 | cholinergic synapse | cellular_component | A synapse that uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. [GOC:dos] |
| GO:0098962 | regulation of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor activity | biological_process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of neurotransmitter receptor activity involved in synaptic transmission. Modulation may be via an effect on ligand affinity, or effector funtion such as ion selectivity or pore opening/closing in ionotropic receptors. [GOC:dos] |
| GO:0099572 | postsynaptic specialization | cellular_component | A network of proteins within and adjacent to the postsynaptic membrane. Its major components include neurotransmitter receptors and the proteins that spatially and functionally organize them such as anchoring and scaffolding molecules, signaling enzymes and cytoskeletal components. [PMID:22046028] |
| GO:0060090 | molecular adaptor activity | molecular_function | The binding activity of a molecule that brings together two or more molecules through a selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric interaction, permitting those molecules to function in a coordinated way. [GOC:mtg_MIT_16mar07, GOC:vw] |
| GO:0098978 | glutamatergic synapse | cellular_component | A synapse that uses glutamate as a neurotransmitter. [GOC:dos] |
