GO:0006910 phagocytosis, recognition

The initial step in phagocytosis involving adhesion to bacteria, immune complexes and other particulate matter, or an apoptotic cell and based on recognition of factors such as bacterial cell wall components, opsonins like complement and antibody or protein receptors and lipids like phosphatidyl serine, and leading to intracellular signaling in the phagocytosing cell.

Definition The initial step in phagocytosis involving adhesion to bacteria, immune complexes and other particulate matter, or an apoptotic cell and based on recognition of factors such as bacterial cell wall components, opsonins like complement and antibody or protein receptors and lipids like phosphatidyl serine, and leading to intracellular signaling in the phagocytosing cell.
Comment Note that cell surface molecules involved in the direct binding of bacteria may be also annotated to the molecular function term GO:0008367 bacterial binding. Note that cell surface molecules involved in the direct binding to opsonins such as complement components or antibodies may be also annotated to the term GO:0001846 opsonin binding.
