FunFam 217: Fibroblast growth factor

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 1 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Heparin binding GO:0008201
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with heparin, any 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.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Mesoderm formation GO:0001707
The process that gives rise to the mesoderm. This process pertains to the initial formation of the structure from unspecified parts.
1 Q788Q8 (/NAS)
Tissue homeostasis GO:0001894
A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state within a defined tissue of an organism, including control of cellular proliferation and death and control of metabolic function.
1 Q788Q8 (/NAS)
Lens morphogenesis in camera-type eye GO:0002089
The process in which the anatomical structures of the lens are generated and organized. The lens is a transparent structure in the eye through which light is focused onto the retina. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus.
1 Q788Q8 (/NAS)
Brain development GO:0007420
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the brain over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Brain development begins with patterning events in the neural tube and ends with the mature structure that is the center of thought and emotion. The brain is responsible for the coordination and control of bodily activities and the interpretation of information from the senses (sight, hearing, smell, etc.).
1 Q788Q8 (/IMP)
Cell population proliferation GO:0008283
The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population.
1 Q788Q8 (/IMP)
Cell population proliferation GO:0008283
The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population.
1 Q788Q8 (/NAS)
Positive regulation of plasminogen activation GO:0010756
Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of plasminogen activation. Plasminogen activation is the process in which plasminogen is processed to plasmin.
1 Q788Q8 (/IMP)
Neurogenesis GO:0022008
Generation of cells within the nervous system.
1 Q788Q8 (/IMP)
Cell differentiation GO:0030154
The process in which relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state.
1 Q788Q8 (/NAS)
Wound healing GO:0042060
The series of events that restore integrity to a damaged tissue, following an injury.
1 Q788Q8 (/NAS)
Positive regulation of angiogenesis GO:0045766
Any process that activates or increases angiogenesis.
1 Q788Q8 (/IMP)
Cell division GO:0051301
The process resulting in division and partitioning of components of a cell to form more cells; may or may not be accompanied by the physical separation of a cell into distinct, individually membrane-bounded daughter cells.
1 Q788Q8 (/IMP)
Neuroepithelial cell differentiation GO:0060563
The process in which epiblast cells acquire specialized features of neuroepithelial cells.
1 Q788Q8 (/IMP)
Inner ear receptor cell differentiation involved in inner ear sensory epithelium regeneration GO:0070660
Differentiation of new inner ear sensory hair cells to replace those lost or destroyed by injury.
1 Q788Q8 (/NAS)
Stem cell proliferation GO:0072089
The multiplication or reproduction of stem cells, resulting in the expansion of a stem cell population. A stem cell is a cell that retains the ability to divide and proliferate throughout life to provide progenitor cells that can differentiate into specialized cells.
1 Q788Q8 (/IMP)
Metanephric glomerular visceral epithelial cell differentiation GO:0072248
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a metanephric glomerular visceral epithelial cell. A metanephric glomerular visceral epithelial cell is a specialized epithelial cell that contains \feet\ that interdigitate with the \feet\ of other glomerular epithelial cells in the metanephros.

There are 4 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Extracellular space GO:0005615
That part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid.
1 Q788Q8 (/IDA)
Nucleus GO:0005634
A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
1 Q788Q8 (/IDA)
Nucleolus GO:0005730
A small, dense body one or more of which are present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is rich in RNA and protein, is not bounded by a limiting membrane, and is not seen during mitosis. Its prime function is the transcription of the nucleolar DNA into 45S ribosomal-precursor RNA, the processing of this RNA into 5.8S, 18S, and 28S components of ribosomal RNA, and the association of these components with 5S RNA and proteins synthesized outside the nucleolus. This association results in the formation of ribonucleoprotein precursors; these pass into the cytoplasm and mature into the 40S and 60S subunits of the ribosome.
1 Q788Q8 (/IDA)
Cytosol GO:0005829
The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
