| GO:0005125 | cytokine activity | molecular_function | The activity of a soluble extracellular gene product that interacts with a receptor to effect a change in the activity of the receptor to control the survival, growth, differentiation and effector function of tissues and cells. [ISBN:0198599471, PMID:11530802] |
| GO:0008201 | heparin binding | molecular_function | Binding to heparin, a member of a group of glycosaminoglycans found mainly as an intracellular component of mast cells and which consist predominantly of alternating alpha-(1->4)-linked D-galactose and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-sulfate residues. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732] |
| GO:0042802 | identical protein binding | molecular_function | Binding to an identical protein or proteins. [GOC:jl] |
| GO:0010172 | embryonic body morphogenesis | biological_process | The process in which the anatomical structures of the embryonic soma are generated and organized. [GOC:ems] |
| GO:0019221 | cytokine-mediated signaling pathway | biological_process | The series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of a cytokine to a receptor on the surface of a cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. [GOC:mah, GOC:signaling, PMID:19295629] |
| GO:0048263 | determination of dorsal identity | biological_process | Determination of the identity of part of an organism or organ where those parts are of the type that occur in the dorsal region. Identity is considered to be the aggregate of characteristics by which a structure is recognized. [GOC:jid] |
| GO:0060300 | regulation of cytokine activity | biological_process | Any process that modulates the rate, frequency or extent of the activity of a molecule that controls the survival, growth, differentiation and effector function of tissues and cells. [GOC:BHF, GOC:dph, GOC:tb] |
| GO:0005576 | extracellular region | cellular_component | 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. [GOC:go_curators] |
| GO:0048018 | receptor ligand activity | molecular_function | The activity of a gene product that interacts with a receptor to effect a change in the activity of the receptor. Ligands may be produced by the same, or different, cell that expresses the receptor. Ligands may diffuse extracellularly from their point of origin to the receiving cell, or remain attached to an adjacent cell surface (e.g. Notch ligands). [GOC:kv, GOC:molecular_function_refactoring, GOC:pdt] |
| GO:0036122 | BMP binding | molecular_function | Binding to a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family. [GOC:BHF, PMID:9660951] |
| 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:0009887 | animal organ morphogenesis | biological_process | Morphogenesis of an animal organ. An organ is defined as a tissue or set of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Morphogenesis is the process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that work together to perform a specific function or functions.

| GO:0038098 | sequestering of BMP from receptor via BMP binding | biological_process | Binding to a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) in the extracellular region, and inhibiting BMP signaling by preventing BMP from binding to its cell surface receptor. [GOC:bf, GOC:signaling, PMID:19855014] |
