Constitutively upstream of

Overview and Scope of Use

• The 'constitutively upstream of' relation is used to relate GO Biological Processes (BP) and/or GO Molecular Functions (MF) when:
  • The mechanism that relates the upstream event (MF or BP) to the downstream event (MF or BP) is understood
  • The activities in the upstream event occur before events in the downstream event
  • The upstream event is required for the execution of the downstream event
  • The execution of the upstream event is approximately constant
