FunFam 101: SPARC/osteonectin, cwcv and kazal-like domains pro...

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 7 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
Calcium ion binding GO:0005509
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with calcium ions (Ca2+).
1 Q92563 (/IDA)
Calcium ion binding GO:0005509
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with calcium ions (Ca2+).
1 Q9ER58 (/ISO)
Calcium ion binding GO:0005509
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with calcium ions (Ca2+).
1 Q9ER58 (/ISS)
Glycosaminoglycan binding GO:0005539
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any glycan (polysaccharide) containing a substantial proportion of aminomonosaccharide residues.
1 Q9ER58 (/IDA)
Metalloendopeptidase inhibitor activity GO:0008191
Stops, prevents or reduces the activity of metalloendopeptidases, enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of nonterminal peptide bonds in a polypeptide chain and contain a chelated metal ion at their active sites which is essential to their catalytic activity.
1 Q92563 (/TAS)
Extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring compression resistance GO:0030021
A constituent of the extracellular matrix that enables the matrix to resist compressive forces; often a proteoglycan.
1 Q9ER58 (/RCA)
Extracellular matrix binding GO:0050840
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a component of the extracellular matrix.
1 Q9ER58 (/IDA)

There are 9 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
Synapse assembly GO:0007416
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a synapse. This process ends when the synapse is mature (functional).
1 Q92563 (/NAS)
Positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion GO:0010811
Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell-substrate adhesion. Cell-substrate adhesion is the attachment of a cell to the underlying substrate via adhesion molecules.
1 Q9ER58 (/IDA)
Negative regulation of endopeptidase activity GO:0010951
Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of endopeptidase activity, the endohydrolysis of peptide bonds within proteins.
1 Q92563 (/TAS)
Peptide cross-linking via chondroitin 4-sulfate glycosaminoglycan GO:0019800
The formation of a cross-link between peptide chains mediated by a chondroitin 4-sulfate glycosaminoglycan that originates from a typical O-glycosidic link to serine of one chain; the other chain is esterified, via the alpha-carbon of its C-terminal Asp, to C-6 of an internal N-acetylgalactosamine of the glycosaminoglycan chain.
1 Q9ER58 (/IDA)
Extracellular matrix organization GO:0030198
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an extracellular matrix.
1 Q9ER58 (/IDA)
Extracellular matrix organization GO:0030198
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an extracellular matrix.
1 Q92563 (/NAS)
Regulation of cell differentiation GO:0045595
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell differentiation, the process in which relatively unspecialized cells acquire specialized structural and functional features.
1 Q92563 (/NAS)
Cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor GO:1990830
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 leukemia inhibitory factor stimulus.
1 Q9ER58 (/IEP)
Positive regulation of cell motility GO:2000147
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell motility.
1 Q92563 (/TAS)

There are 2 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Extracellular matrix GO:0031012
A structure lying external to one or more cells, which provides structural support, biochemical or biomechanical cues for cells or tissues.
1 Q92563 (/NAS)
Collagen-containing extracellular matrix GO:0062023
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.
