GO:0005515 | protein binding | molecular_function | Binding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators] |
GO:0016015 | morphogen activity | molecular_function | Acts as a trigger for a pattern specification process when present at a specific concentration within a gradient. [GOC:go_curators] |
GO:0036122 | BMP binding | molecular_function | Binding to a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family. [GOC:BHF, PMID:9660951] |
GO:0042802 | identical protein binding | molecular_function | Binding to an identical protein or proteins. [GOC:jl] |
GO:0007165 | signal transduction | biological_process | The cellular process in which a signal is conveyed to trigger a change in the activity or state of a cell. Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell. [GOC:go_curators, GOC:mtg_signaling_feb11] |
GO:0007399 | nervous system development | biological_process | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of nervous tissue over time, from its formation to its mature state. [GOC:dgh] |
GO:0030514 | negative regulation of BMP signaling pathway | biological_process | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the BMP signaling pathway. [GOC:go_curators] |
GO:0035582 | sequestering of BMP in extracellular matrix | biological_process | Confining a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) to the extracellular matrix (ECM), such that it is separated from other components of the signaling pathway, including its cell surface receptor. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are secreted as homodimers, non-covalently associated with N-terminal pro-peptides, and are targeted to the extracellular matrix through interaction with matrix proteins. [GOC:BHF, PMID:20855508] |
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] |
GO:0045666 | positive regulation of neuron differentiation | biological_process | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of neuron differentiation. [GOC:go_curators] |
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:0048812 | neuron projection morphogenesis | biological_process | The process in which the anatomical structures of a neuron projection are generated and organized. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites. [GOC:mah] |
GO:0090027 | negative regulation of monocyte chemotaxis | biological_process | Any process that decreases the frequency, rate, or extent of monocyte chemotaxis. [GOC:dph, GOC:tb] |
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: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).
