FunFam 80: Glutamate receptor ionotropic, kainate

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 4 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
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.
2 E9NA96 (/ISM) Q9W365 (/ISM)
Signaling 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 Q9W365 (/IPI)
Coreceptor activity GO:0015026
Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger, and in cooperation with a nearby primary receptor, initiating a change in cell activity.
1 Q9W365 (/IDA)
Coreceptor activity GO:0015026
Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger, and in cooperation with a nearby primary receptor, initiating a change in cell activity.

There are 10 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
Transmission of nerve impulse GO:0019226
The neurological system process in which a signal is transmitted through the nervous system by a combination of action potential propagation and synaptic transmission.
2 E9NA96 (/IMP) Q9W365 (/IMP)
Detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception GO:0050907
The series of events in which a chemical stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal as part of sensory perception.
2 E9NA96 (/IEP) Q9W365 (/IEP)
Detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of smell GO:0050911
The series of events involved in the perception of smell in which an olfactory chemical stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal.
2 E9NA96 (/IMP) Q9W365 (/IMP)
Entrainment of circadian clock GO:0009649
The synchronization of a circadian rhythm to environmental time cues such as light.
1 E9NA96 (/IMP)
Response to acetate GO:0010034
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an acetate stimulus.
1 Q9W365 (/IMP)
Response to chlorate GO:0010157
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a chlorate stimulus.
1 Q9W365 (/IMP)
Temperature compensation of the circadian clock GO:0010378
The process in which the circadian clock maintains robust and accurate timing over a broad range of physiological temperatures. The circadian clock is an endogenous 24-h timer found in most eukaryotes and in photosynthetic bacteria. The clock drives rhythms in the physiology, biochemistry, and metabolism of the organisms.
1 E9NA96 (/IMP)
Olfactory behavior GO:0042048

1 Q9W365 (/IMP)
Cellular response to acetate GO:0071311
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an acetate stimulus.
