ZFIN GO: Molecular Function: receptor ligand activity

OBO ID: GO:0048018

Term Name:	receptor ligand activity		Search Ontology:
Synonyms:	receptor agonist activity receptor ligand activity signaling molecule signaling receptor ligand activity vitamin D receptor activator activity
Definition:	The activity of a gene product that interacts with a receptor to effect a change in the activity of the receptor. Ligands may be produced by the same, or different, cell that expresses the receptor. Ligands may diffuse extracellularly from their point of origin to the receiving cell, or remain attached to an adjacent cell surface (e.g. Notch ligands).
