FunFam 711: Gap junction epsilon-1 protein

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 1 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Gap junction channel activity GO:0005243
A wide pore channel activity that enables a direct cytoplasmic connection from one cell to an adjacent cell. The gap junction can pass large solutes as well as electrical signals between cells. Gap junctions consist of two gap junction hemi-channels, or connexons, one contributed by each membrane through which the gap junction passes.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Cell morphogenesis GO:0000902
The developmental process in which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized.
1 Q9CX92 (/IMP)
Lens development in camera-type eye GO:0002088
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lens over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The lens is a transparent structure in the eye through which light is focused onto the retina. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus.
1 Q9CX92 (/IMP)
Organ growth GO:0035265
The increase in size or mass of an organ. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that function together as to perform a specific function.
1 Q9CX92 (/IMP)

There are 0 GO terms relating to "cellular component"
