FunFam 121: Protocadherin 17

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
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 O14917 (/IPI)

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
Adult behavior GO:0030534
Behavior in a fully developed and mature organism.
3 E9PXF0 (/IMP) Q3UTP0 (/IMP) Q5HZI5 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of synaptic transmission GO:0050805
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse.
3 E9PXF0 (/IMP) Q3UTP0 (/IMP) Q5HZI5 (/IMP)
Synaptic membrane adhesion GO:0099560
The attachment of presynaptic membrane to postsynaptic membrane via adhesion molecules that are at least partially embedded in the plasma membrane.
3 E9PXF0 (/IDA) Q3UTP0 (/IDA) Q5HZI5 (/IDA)
Synaptic membrane adhesion GO:0099560
The attachment of presynaptic membrane to postsynaptic membrane via adhesion molecules that are at least partially embedded in the plasma membrane.
3 E9PXF0 (/IMP) Q3UTP0 (/IMP) Q5HZI5 (/IMP)
Presynaptic active zone assembly GO:1904071
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a presynaptic active zone. The presynaptic active zone is a specialized region of the plasma membrane and cell cortex of a presynaptic neuron; encompasses a region of the plasma membrane where synaptic vesicles dock and fuse, and a specialized cortical cytoskeletal matrix.
3 E9PXF0 (/IMP) Q3UTP0 (/IMP) Q5HZI5 (/IMP)
Regulation of synaptic vesicle clustering GO:2000807
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of synaptic vesicle clustering.
3 E9PXF0 (/IMP) Q3UTP0 (/IMP) Q5HZI5 (/IMP)
Axon guidance GO:0007411

Axon extension GO:0048675
Long distance growth of a single axon process involved in cellular development.
2 A0A0B5JFA0 (/IMP) C4P342 (/IMP)
Retina development in camera-type eye GO:0060041
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the retina over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The retina is the innermost layer or coating at the back of the eyeball, which is sensitive to light and in which the optic nerve terminates.
2 A0A0B5JFA0 (/IMP) C4P342 (/IMP)
Camera-type eye photoreceptor cell differentiation GO:0060219
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a photoreceptor cell in a camera-type eye.
