FunFam 132531: Ig mu chain C region

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 5 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
Antigen binding GO:0003823
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an antigen, any substance which is capable of inducing a specific immune response and of reacting with the products of that response, the specific antibody or specifically sensitized T-lymphocytes, or both. Binding may counteract the biological activity of the antigen.
1 P01872 (/IDA)
Transmembrane signaling receptor activity GO:0004888
Combining with an extracellular or intracellular signal and transmitting the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity or state as part of signal transduction.
1 P01872 (/IDA)
Protein binding GO:0005515
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
1 P01872 (/IPI)
Immunoglobulin receptor binding GO:0034987
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with one or more specific sites on an immunoglobulin receptor molecule.
1 P01872 (/IPI)
Identical protein binding GO:0042802
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein or proteins.
1 P01872 (/IPI)

There are 16 GO terms relating to "biological process"

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
Activation of MAPK activity GO:0000187
The initiation of the activity of the inactive enzyme MAP kinase (MAPK).
1 P01872 (/IDA)
B cell affinity maturation GO:0002344
The process in which B cells produce antibodies with increased antigen affinity. This is accomplished by somatic hypermutation and selection for B cells which produce higher affinity antibodies to antigen.
1 P01872 (/IMP)
Humoral immune response mediated by circulating immunoglobulin GO:0002455
An immune response dependent upon secreted immunoglobulin. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus.
1 P01872 (/IDA)
Regulation of immunoglobulin production GO:0002637
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of immunoglobulin production.
1 P01872 (/IMP)
Immunoglobulin mediated immune response GO:0016064
An immune response mediated by immunoglobulins, whether cell-bound or in solution.
1 P01872 (/IDA)
Antigen processing and presentation GO:0019882
The process in which an antigen-presenting cell expresses antigen (peptide or lipid) on its cell surface in association with an MHC protein complex.
1 P01872 (/IDA)
Regulation of cell morphogenesis GO:0022604
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell morphogenesis. Cell morphogenesis is the developmental process in which the shape of a cell is generated and organized.
1 P01872 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of B cell proliferation GO:0030890
Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of B cell proliferation.
1 P01872 (/IDA)

1 P01872 (/IDA)
Early endosome to late endosome transport GO:0045022
The directed movement of substances, in membrane-bounded vesicles, from the early sorting endosomes to the late sorting endosomes; transport occurs along microtubules and can be experimentally blocked with microtubule-depolymerizing drugs.
1 P01872 (/IDA)
Positive regulation of endocytosis GO:0045807
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of endocytosis.
1 P01872 (/IDA)
Positive regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation GO:0050731
