FunFam 13: Hemopexin

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 4 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

There are 12 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
Positive regulation of immunoglobulin production GO:0002639
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of immunoglobulin production.
1 Q91X72 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of humoral immune response mediated by circulating immunoglobulin GO:0002925
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of a humoral immune response mediated by circulating immunoglobulin.
1 Q91X72 (/IMP)
Cellular iron ion homeostasis GO:0006879
Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of iron ions at the level of a cell.
1 P02790 (/TAS)
Receptor-mediated endocytosis GO:0006898
An endocytosis process in which cell surface receptors ensure specificity of transport. A specific receptor on the cell surface binds tightly to the extracellular macromolecule (the ligand) that it recognizes; the plasma-membrane region containing the receptor-ligand complex then undergoes endocytosis, forming a transport vesicle containing the receptor-ligand complex and excluding most other plasma-membrane proteins. Receptor-mediated endocytosis generally occurs via clathrin-coated pits and vesicles.
1 P02790 (/TAS)
Heme transport GO:0015886
The directed movement of heme, any compound of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
1 P02790 (/TAS)
Hemoglobin metabolic process GO:0020027
The chemical reactions and pathways involving hemoglobin, including its uptake and utilization.
1 Q91X72 (/IMP)
Heme metabolic process GO:0042168
The chemical reactions and pathways involving heme, any compound of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring.
1 Q91X72 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein GO:0042531
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the introduction of a phosphate group to a tyrosine residue of a STAT (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription) protein.
1 Q91X72 (/IMP)
Regulation of protein metabolic process GO:0051246
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving a protein.
1 Q91X72 (/IMP)
Response to corticosterone GO:0051412
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a corticosterone stimulus. Corticosterone is a 21 carbon steroid hormone of the corticosteroid type, produced in the cortex of the adrenal glands. In many species, corticosterone is the principal glucocorticoid, involved in regulation of fuel metabolism, immune reactions, and stress responses.
1 Q90WR3 (/IDA)
Positive regulation of response to interferon-gamma GO:0060332
Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of a response to interferon-gamma. Response to interferon gamma is a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an interferon-gamma stimulus.
1 Q91X72 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of interferon-gamma-mediated signaling pathway GO:0060335
Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of the series of molecular events generated as a consequence of interferon-gamma binding to a cell surface receptor.

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.
1 P02790 (/HDA)
Extracellular exosome GO:0070062
