| GO:0005044 | scavenger receptor activity | molecular_function | Combining with any modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or other polyanionic ligand and delivering the ligand into the cell via endocytosis. Ligands include acetylated and oxidized LDL, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, apoptotic cells, amyloid-beta fibrils, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs). [GOC:bf, PMID:11790542, PMID:12379907, PMID:12621157, PMID:20981357] |
| GO:0030021 | extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring compression resistance | molecular_function | A constituent of the extracellular matrix that enables the matrix to resist compressive forces; often a proteoglycan. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0815316194] |
| GO:0030247 | polysaccharide binding | molecular_function | Binding to a polysaccharide, a polymer of many (typically more than 10) monosaccharide residues linked glycosidically. [GOC:mah] |
| GO:0006897 | endocytosis | biological_process | A vesicle-mediated transport process in which cells take up external materials or membrane constituents by the invagination of a part of the plasma membrane to form a new membrane-bounded vesicle. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0198506732, ISBN:0716731363, Wikipedia:Endocytosis] |
| GO:0006955 | immune response | biological_process | Any immune system process that functions in the calibrated response of an organism to a potential internal or invasive threat. [GO_REF:0000022, GOC:add] |
| 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: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] |
