| GO:0008150 | biological_process | A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |
| GO:0003674 | molecular_function | A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs. |
| GO:0005575 | cellular_component | A location, relative to cellular compartments and structures, occupied by a macromolecular machine. There are three types of cellular components described in the gene ontology: (1) the cellular anatomical entity where a gene product carries out a molecular function (e.g., plasma membrane, cytoskeleton) or membrane-enclosed compartments (e.g., mitochondrion); (2) virion components, where viral proteins act, and (3) the stable macromolecular complexes of which gene product are parts (e.g., the clathrin complex). |
| GO:0110165 | cellular anatomical structure | A part of a cellular organism consisting of a material entity with granularity above the level of a protein complex but below that of an anatomical system. Note that cellular organisms exclude viruses. |
| GO:0071944 | cell periphery | The broad region around and including the plasma membrane of a cell, encompassing the cell cortex (inside the cell), the plasma membrane, and any external encapsulating structures. |
| GO:0016020 | membrane | A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it. |
| GO:0060089 | molecular transducer activity | A compound molecular function in which an effector function is controlled by one or more regulatory components. |
| GO:0005886 | plasma membrane | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. |
| GO:0038023 | signaling receptor activity | Receiving a signal and transmitting it in the cell to initiate a change in cell activity. A signal is a physical entity or change in state that is used to transfer information in order to trigger a response. |
| GO:0055082 | intracellular chemical homeostasis | A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a steady state level of a chemical within a cell. |
| GO:0048878 | chemical homeostasis | Any biological process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of a chemical. |
| GO:0019725 | cellular homeostasis | Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state at the level of the cell. |
| GO:0042592 | homeostatic process | Any biological process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state. |
| GO:0098590 | plasma membrane region | A membrane that is a (regional) part of the plasma membrane. |
| GO:0097060 | synaptic membrane | A specialized area of membrane on either the presynaptic or the postsynaptic side of a synapse, the junction between a nerve fiber of one neuron and another neuron or muscle fiber or glial cell. |
| GO:0030594 | neurotransmitter receptor activity | Combining with a neurotransmitter and transmitting the signal to initiate a change in cell activity. |
| GO:0045202 | synapse | The junction between an axon of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron, a muscle fiber or a glial cell. As the axon approaches the synapse it enlarges into a specialized structure, the presynaptic terminal bouton, which contains mitochondria and synaptic vesicles. At the tip of the terminal bouton is the presynaptic membrane; facing it, and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft) is a specialized area of membrane on the receiving cell, known as the postsynaptic membrane. In response to the arrival of nerve impulses, the presynaptic terminal bouton secretes molecules of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These diffuse across the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane. |
| GO:0030054 | cell junction | A cellular component that forms a specialized region of connection between two or more cells, or between a cell and the extracellular matrix, or between two membrane-bound components of a cell, such as flagella. |
| GO:0006873 | intracellular monoatomic ion homeostasis | A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a steady state level of monoatomic ions within a cell. Monatomic ions (also called simple ions) are ions consisting of exactly one atom. |
| GO:0050801 | monoatomic ion homeostasis | Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of monoatomic ions within an organism or cell. Monatomic ions (also called simple ions) are ions consisting of exactly one atom. |
| GO:0030003 | intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis | A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a steady state level of monoatomic cations within a cell. Monatomic cations (also called simple cations) are cations consisting of exactly one atom. |
| GO:0006874 | intracellular calcium ion homeostasis | A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a steady state level of calcium ions within a cell. |
| GO:0055074 | calcium ion homeostasis | Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of calcium ions within an organism or cell. |
| GO:0055080 | monoatomic cation homeostasis | Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of monoatomic cations within an organism or cell. Monatomic cations (also called simple cations) are cations consisting of exactly one atom. |
| GO:0098771 | inorganic ion homeostasis | Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of inorganic ions within an organism or cell. |
| GO:0098793 | presynapse | The part of a synapse that is part of the presynaptic cell. |
| GO:0051480 | regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration | Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of calcium ions within the cytosol of a cell or between the cytosol and its surroundings. |
| GO:0042734 | presynaptic membrane | A specialized area of membrane of the axon terminal that faces the plasma membrane of the neuron or muscle fiber with which the axon terminal establishes a synaptic junction; many synaptic junctions exhibit structural presynaptic characteristics, such as conical, electron-dense internal protrusions, that distinguish it from the remainder of the axon plasma membrane. |
| GO:0070050 | neuron cellular homeostasis | The cellular homeostatic process that preserves a neuron in a stable, differentiated functional and structural state. |
| GO:0099509 | regulation of presynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration | Any process that regulates the concentration of calcium in the presynaptic cytosol. |
