| GO:0062023 | collagen-containing extracellular matrix | cellular_component | An extracellular matrix consisting mainly of proteins (especially collagen) and glycosaminoglycans (mostly as proteoglycans) that provides not only essential physical scaffolding for the cellular constituents but can also initiate crucial biochemical and biomechanical cues required for tissue morphogenesis, differentiation and homeostasis. The components are secreted by cells in the vicinity and form a sheet underlying or overlying cells such as endothelial and epithelial cells. [GOC:BHF, GOC:rph, PMID:21123617] |
| GO:0005201 | extracellular matrix structural constituent | molecular_function | The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of the extracellular matrix. [GOC:mah] |
| GO:0005515 | protein binding | molecular_function | Binding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators] |
| GO:0007155 | cell adhesion | biological_process | The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules. [GOC:hb, GOC:pf] |
| GO:0008285 | negative regulation of cell population proliferation | biological_process | Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of cell proliferation. [GOC:go_curators] |
| GO:0005615 | extracellular space | cellular_component | That part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid. [ISBN:0198547684] |
| GO:0030199 | collagen fibril organization | biological_process | Any process that determines the size and arrangement of collagen fibrils within an extracellular matrix. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0815316194] |
