FunFam 11: Choline O-acetyltransferase

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 2 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
Chemical synaptic transmission GO:0007268
The vesicular release of classical neurotransmitter molecules from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of neurotransmitter receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse.
1 P07668 (/TAS)
Neuromuscular synaptic transmission GO:0007274
The process of synaptic transmission from a neuron to a muscle, across a synapse.
1 P07668 (/IMP)
Nervous system development GO:0007399
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of nervous tissue over time, from its formation to its mature state.
1 P07668 (/TAS)
Acetylcholine biosynthetic process GO:0008292
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of acetylcholine, the acetic acid ester of the organic base choline.
1 P07668 (/IMP)
Acetylcholine biosynthetic process GO:0008292
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of acetylcholine, the acetic acid ester of the organic base choline.
1 P07668 (/NAS)

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
Nucleus GO:0005634
A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
1 P07668 (/NAS)
Cytosol GO:0005829
The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
1 P07668 (/NAS)
