FunFam 20: bone morphogenetic protein 8B

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
Transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway GO:0007179
A series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of an extracellular ligand to a transforming growth factor beta receptor on the surface of a target cell, and ending with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
2 P34821 (/TAS) P55105 (/TAS)
Germ cell development GO:0007281
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an immature germ cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure (gamete). A germ cell is any reproductive cell in a multicellular organism.
2 P34821 (/IMP) P55105 (/IMP)
Spermatogenesis GO:0007283
The process of formation of spermatozoa, including spermatocytogenesis and spermiogenesis.
2 P34821 (/IMP) P55105 (/IMP)
Skeletal system development GO:0001501
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the skeleton over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The skeleton is the bony framework of the body in vertebrates (endoskeleton) or the hard outer envelope of insects (exoskeleton or dermoskeleton).
1 P34820 (/TAS)
Osteoblast differentiation GO:0001649
The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of an osteoblast, a mesodermal or neural crest cell that gives rise to bone.
1 P34821 (/IDA)
Diet induced thermogenesis GO:0002024
The process that results in increased metabolic rate in tissues of an organism. It is triggered by the detection of dietary excess. This process is achieved via signalling in the sympathetic nervous system.
1 Q7Z5Y6 (/IDA)
Diet induced thermogenesis GO:0002024
The process that results in increased metabolic rate in tissues of an organism. It is triggered by the detection of dietary excess. This process is achieved via signalling in the sympathetic nervous system.
1 P55105 (/IMP)
Diet induced thermogenesis GO:0002024
The process that results in increased metabolic rate in tissues of an organism. It is triggered by the detection of dietary excess. This process is achieved via signalling in the sympathetic nervous system.
1 P34821 (/ISO)
Positive regulation of pathway-restricted SMAD protein phosphorylation GO:0010862
Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of pathway-restricted SMAD protein phosphorylation. Pathway-restricted SMAD proteins and common-partner SMAD proteins are involved in the transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathways.
1 P55105 (/IMP)
Regulation of MAPK cascade GO:0043408
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of signal transduction mediated by the MAP kinase (MAPK) cascade.
1 P55105 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of insulin secretion GO:0046676
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of insulin.
1 Q7Z5Y6 (/IDA)
Negative regulation of insulin secretion GO:0046676
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of insulin.
1 P34821 (/ISO)
Embryonic morphogenesis GO:0048598
The process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized during the embryonic phase. The embryonic phase begins with zygote formation. The end of the embryonic phase is organism-specific. For example, it would be at birth for mammals, larval hatching for insects and seed dormancy in plants.
1 P55105 (/IMP)
Energy homeostasis GO:0097009
Any process involved in the balance between food intake (energy input) and energy expenditure.
1 Q7Z5Y6 (/IDA)
Energy homeostasis GO:0097009
Any process involved in the balance between food intake (energy input) and energy expenditure.
1 P55105 (/IMP)
Energy homeostasis GO:0097009
Any process involved in the balance between food intake (energy input) and energy expenditure.
1 P34821 (/ISO)
