GO term | GO name | GO namespace | GO def |
GO:0004930 | G protein-coupled receptor activity | molecular_function | Combining with an extracellular signal and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activating an associated G-protein; promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric G-protein complex. [GOC:bf, http://www.iuphar-db.org, Wikipedia:GPCR] |
GO:0007166 | cell surface receptor signaling pathway | biological_process | The series of molecular signals initiated by activation of a receptor on the surface of a cell. The pathway begins with binding of an extracellular ligand to a cell surface receptor, or for receptors that signal in the absence of a ligand, by ligand-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. The pathway ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. [GOC:bf, GOC:mah, GOC:pr, GOC:signaling] |
GO:0007200 | phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway | biological_process | A G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway in which the signal is transmitted via the activation of phospholipase C (PLC) and a subsequent increase in the intracellular concentration of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). [GOC:dph, GOC:mah, GOC:signaling, GOC:tb, ISBN:0815316194] |
GO:0048512 | circadian behavior | biological_process | The specific behavior of an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours. [GOC:bf, GOC:go_curators, GOC:pr] |
GO:0060019 | radial glial cell differentiation | biological_process | The process in which neuroepithelial cells of the neural tube give rise to radial glial cells, specialized bipotential progenitors cells of the brain. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate. [GOC:dph] |
GO:0060170 | ciliary membrane | cellular_component | The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a cilium. [GOC:cilia, GOC:dph, GOC:rph] |
GO:0007189 | adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway | biological_process | A G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway in which the signal is transmitted via the activation of adenylyl cyclase activity which results in an increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP (cAMP). This pathway is negatively regulated by phosphodiesterase, which cleaves cAMP and terminates the signaling. [GOC:dph, GOC:mah, GOC:signaling, GOC:tb, ISBN:0815316194] |
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] |
