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:0005502 | 11-cis retinal binding | molecular_function | Binding to 11-cis retinal, an isomer of retinal that plays an important role in the visual process in most vertebrates. 11-cis retinal combines with opsin in the rods (scotopsin) to form rhodopsin or visual purple. Retinal is one of the three compounds that makes up vitamin A. [PMID:24403072] |
GO:0005503 | all-trans retinal binding | molecular_function | Binding to all-trans retinal, a compound that plays an important role in the visual process in most vertebrates. All-trans retinal (trans r., visual yellow) results from the bleaching of rhodopsin by light, in which the 11-cis form is converted to the all-trans form. Retinal is one of the forms of vitamin A.

GO:0008020 | G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity | molecular_function | Combining with incidental electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light, 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.

GO:0009881 | photoreceptor activity | molecular_function | The function of absorbing and responding to incidental electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light. The response may involve a change in conformation. [GOC:ai, GOC:go_curators] |
GO:0007602 | phototransduction | biological_process | The sequence of reactions within a cell required to convert absorbed photons into a molecular signal. [GOC:go_curators] |
GO:0009583 | detection of light stimulus | biological_process | The series of events in which a light stimulus (in the form of photons) is received and converted into a molecular signal. [GOC:go_curators] |
GO:0009584 | detection of visible light | biological_process | The series of events in which a visible light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm. [GOC:go_curators, ISBN:0198506732] |
GO:0009637 | response to blue light | biological_process | Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a blue light stimulus. Blue light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of between 440 and 500nm. [GOC:ai, GOC:mtg_far_red] |
GO:0030216 | keratinocyte differentiation | biological_process | The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a keratinocyte. [GOC:dph, GOC:mah, GOC:sdb_2009, GOC:tb] |
GO:0042752 | regulation of circadian rhythm | biological_process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a circadian rhythm. A circadian rhythm is a biological process in an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours. [GOC:dph, GOC:jl, GOC:tb] |

GO:0071492 | cellular response to UV-A | biological_process | Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a UV-A radiation stimulus. UV-A radiation (UV-A light) spans the wavelengths 315 to 400 nm. [GOC:mah] |

GO:0001750 | photoreceptor outer segment | cellular_component | The outer segment of a vertebrate photoreceptor that contains a stack of membrane discs embedded with photoreceptor proteins. [GOC:cilia, GOC:krc, GOC:pde, ISBN:0824072820, PMID:19501669, PMID:26574505, PMID:6771304] |
GO:0007186 | G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway | biological_process | The series of molecular signals initiated by a ligand binding to its receptor, in which the activated receptor promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane.
