FunFam 364: Carboxylic ester hydrolase

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
Acetylcholinesterase activity GO:0003990
Catalysis of the reaction: acetylcholine + H2O = choline + acetate.
1 G5EDV9 (/IDA)
Acetylcholinesterase activity GO:0003990
Catalysis of the reaction: acetylcholine + H2O = choline + acetate.
1 G5EDV9 (/IMP)
Protein homodimerization activity GO:0042803
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer.
1 G5EDV9 (/IPI)

There are 6 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
Acetylcholine catabolic process in synaptic cleft GO:0001507
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of acetylcholine that occurs in the synaptic cleft during synaptic transmission.
1 G5EDV9 (/IC)
Acetylcholine catabolic process GO:0006581
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of acetylcholine, the acetic acid ester of the organic base choline.
1 G5EDV9 (/IDA)
Acetylcholine catabolic process GO:0006581
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of acetylcholine, the acetic acid ester of the organic base choline.
1 G5EDV9 (/IMP)
Synaptic transmission, cholinergic GO:0007271
The vesicular release of acetylcholine from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of dopamine 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 G5EDV9 (/IMP)
Regulation of locomotion GO:0040012
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of locomotion of a cell or organism.
1 G5EDV9 (/IGI)
Regulation of locomotion GO:0040012
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of locomotion of a cell or organism.
1 G5EDV9 (/IMP)
