FunFam 58: Ligand-gated chloride channel

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
Chloride channel activity GO:0005254
Enables the facilitated diffusion of a chloride (by an energy-independent process) involving passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism.
1 G5EEC1 (/IDA)

There are 2 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
Chloride transport GO:0006821
The directed movement of chloride into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
1 G5EEC1 (/IDA)
Mechanosensory behavior GO:0007638
Behavior that is dependent upon the sensation of a mechanical stimulus.
1 G5EEC1 (/IMP)

There are 2 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

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
Postsynaptic density GO:0014069
An electron dense network of proteins within and adjacent to the postsynaptic membrane of an asymmetric, neuron-neuron synapse. Its major components include neurotransmitter receptors and the proteins that spatially and functionally organize them such as anchoring and scaffolding molecules, signaling enzymes and cytoskeletal components.
1 G5EEC1 (/IDA)
Neuronal cell body GO:0043025
The portion of a neuron that includes the nucleus, but excludes cell projections such as axons and dendrites.
1 G5EEC1 (/IDA)
