Objects:         covariant functors $C \to D$
Morphisms: natural transformations
Composition: vertical composition of natural transformations
Identity morphisms: identity natural transformations



Also denoted as

The functor category van also be denoted $\map {\operatorname{Fun} } {C, D}$, $\sqbrk {C, D}$ or $D^C$, in analogy to the set of all mappings.
