Gene ontology separates protein function into . Ontology focuses on simplifying proteins by organizing its characteristics into three distinct categories: biological processes, molecular function, and cellular component (1).
LPHN3
Biological Processes - series of function (pathways) - Neural Synapse - Cell signaling - Membrane transport - G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway - Cell surface receptor signaling pathway - locomotory behavior - synapse activity
Gene ontology is a great way to analyze a proteins function by breaking it down into simple categories. LPHN3 has a lot of domains to be aware of and by looking at gene ontology we can better understand the ways in which LPHN3 functions within an organism.
