FunFam 57: Lipase

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
Multicellular organism reproduction GO:0032504
The biological process in which new individuals are produced by one or two multicellular organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents.
3 E2QCS7 (/HEP) Q9VKS9 (/HEP) Q9VKT1 (/HEP)
Lipid metabolic process GO:0006629
The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids, compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. Includes fatty acids; neutral fats, other fatty-acid esters, and soaps; long-chain (fatty) alcohols and waxes; sphingoids and other long-chain bases; glycolipids, phospholipids and sphingolipids; and carotenes, polyprenols, sterols, terpenes and other isoprenoids.
2 E2QCS7 (/ISS) Q9VKS9 (/ISS)
Digestion GO:0007586
The whole of the physical, chemical, and biochemical processes carried out by multicellular organisms to break down ingested nutrients into components that may be easily absorbed and directed into metabolism.
2 O46107 (/IEP) O46107 (/IEP)
Multicellular organism reproduction GO:0032504
The biological process in which new individuals are produced by one or two multicellular organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents.
2 E2QCS7 (/IEP) Q9VKT1 (/IEP)
Determination of adult lifespan GO:0008340
The control of viability and duration in the adult phase of the life-cycle.
1 Q94252 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of autophagy GO:0010508
Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of autophagy. Autophagy is the process in which cells digest parts of their own cytoplasm.
1 Q94252 (/IDA)
Positive regulation of macroautophagy GO:0016239
Any process, such as recognition of nutrient depletion, that activates or increases the rate of macroautophagy to bring cytosolic macromolecules to the vacuole/lysosome for degradation.
1 Q94252 (/IMP)
Triglyceride catabolic process GO:0019433
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a triglyceride, any triester of glycerol.
