FunFam 2614: Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-9

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 6 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

Selectively enables the transmembrane transfer of a cation by a channel that opens upon binding acetylcholine.
2 P43144 (/IDA) Q9UGM1 (/IDA)
Receptor binding GO:0005102
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with one or more specific sites on a receptor molecule, a macromolecule that undergoes combination with a hormone, neurotransmitter, drug or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell function.
1 Q9GZZ6 (/TAS)
Protein binding GO:0005515
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
1 G3X8Z7 (/IPI)
Ligand-gated ion channel activity GO:0015276
Enables the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens when a specific ligand has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.
1 Q9UGM1 (/TAS)
Acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity GO:0022848
Selectively enables the transmembrane transfer of a cation by a channel that opens upon binding acetylcholine.

There are 9 GO terms relating to "biological process"

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
Positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration GO:0007204
Any process that increases the concentration of calcium ions in the cytosol.
2 Q9GZZ6 (/IGI) Q9UGM1 (/IGI)
Positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration GO:0007204
Any process that increases the concentration of calcium ions in the cytosol.
2 B2RX82 (/ISO) G3X8Z7 (/ISO)
Synaptic transmission, cholinergic GO:0007271
The process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse using the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
2 Q9GZZ6 (/TAS) Q9JLB5 (/TAS)
Inner ear morphogenesis GO:0042472
The process in which the anatomical structures of the inner ear are generated and organized. The inner ear is the structure in vertebrates that contains the organs of balance and hearing. It consists of soft hollow sensory structures (the membranous labyrinth) containing fluid (endolymph) surrounded by fluid (perilymph) and encased in a bony cavity (the bony labyrinth). It consists of two chambers, the sacculus and utriculus, from which arise the cochlea and semicircular canals respectively.
2 B2RX82 (/IMP) G3X8Z7 (/IMP)
Detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of sound GO:0050910
The series of events involved in the perception of sound vibration in which the vibration is received and converted into a molecular signal.
2 B2RX82 (/IMP) G3X8Z7 (/IMP)
Cation transport GO:0006812
The directed movement of cations, atoms or small molecules with a net positive charge, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
1 G3X8Z7 (/IMP)
Synaptic transmission, cholinergic GO:0007271
The process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse using the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
1 B2RX82 (/IMP)
Sensory perception of sound GO:0007605
The series of events required for an organism to receive an auditory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Sonic stimuli are detected in the form of vibrations and are processed to form a sound.
1 P43144 (/IEP)
Regulation of cell proliferation GO:0042127
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell proliferation.
