FunFam 277: glutamate receptor 2

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 3 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
Sodium channel activity GO:0005272
Enables the facilitated diffusion of a sodium ion (by an energy-independent process) involving passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism.
1 Q9VW78 (/IDA)
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 Q9VW78 (/ISM)
Salty taste receptor activity GO:0033039
Combining with soluble salty compounds to initiate a change in cell activity. These receptors are responsible for the sense of salty taste.
1 Q9VW78 (/IMP)

There are 6 GO terms relating to "biological process"

1 Q9VW78 (/ISS)
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.
1 Q9VW78 (/IMP)
Response to amino acid GO:0043200
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 amino acid stimulus. An amino acid is a carboxylic acids containing one or more amino groups.

1 Q9VW78 (/IMP)
Cellular response to salt GO:1902075
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 a salt stimulus.
1 Q9VW78 (/IMP)

1 Q9VW78 (/ISM)
Receptor complex GO:0043235
Any protein complex that undergoes combination with a hormone, neurotransmitter, drug or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell function.
1 Q9VW78 (/IDA)
Sensory dendrite GO:0071683
A dendrite that is found on a sensory neuron, and directly transduces a sensory signal from the sensory neuron to another neuron.
