GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)
Category:GO:0042280 ! cell surface antigen activity, host-interacting
![]()
This GO term has been obsoleted.
Do not annotate to it.
id: GO:0042280
name: cell surface antigen activity, host-interacting
namespace: molecular_function
def: "OBSOLETE. Functions as an immunogenic target for the host immune system that masks other invariant surface molecules from immune recognition." [GOC:mb]
comment: This term was made obsolete because describing something as an 'antigen' means that an organism can produce antibodies to it, which says nothing about the gene product activity.
is_obsolete: true
consider: GO:0044403 ! symbiosis, encompassing mutualism through parasitism
consider: GO:0046789 ! host cell surface receptor binding
