FunFam 226: Vesicular GLUtamate transporter

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 4 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

Neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity GO:0005326
Enables the directed movement of a neurotransmitter into, out of or within a cell, or between cells. Neurotransmitters are any chemical substance that is capable of transmitting (or inhibiting the transmission of) a nerve impulse from a neuron to another cell.
2 Q86P76 (/IMP) Q9VQC0 (/IMP)
Glutamate:sodium symporter activity GO:0015501
Enables the transfer of a solute or solutes from one side of a membrane to the other according to the reaction: glutamate(out) + Na+(out) = glutamate(in) + Na+(in).

There are 15 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
Synaptic transmission, glutamatergic GO:0035249
The vesicular release of glutamate from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of glutamate 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.
3 P34644 (/IMP) Q86P76 (/IMP) Q9VQC0 (/IMP)
L-glutamate transmembrane transport GO:0015813
The directed movement of L-glutamate across a membrane.
2 Q86P76 (/ISA) Q9VQC0 (/ISA)
Regulation of membrane potential in photoreceptor cell GO:0016057
Hyperpolarization (vertebrates) or depolarization (invertebrates) of the photoreceptor cell membrane via closing/opening of cation specific channels as a result of signals generated by rhodopsin activation by a photon.
2 Q86P76 (/IGI) Q9VQC0 (/IGI)
Hyperosmotic response GO:0006972
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 detection of, or exposure to, a hyperosmotic environment, i.e. an environment with a higher concentration of solutes than the organism or cell.
1 P34644 (/IMP)
Adult locomotory behavior GO:0008344
Locomotory behavior in a fully developed and mature organism.
1 P34644 (/IMP)
Response to mechanical stimulus GO:0009612

1 P34644 (/IGI)
Response to mechanical stimulus GO:0009612
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 a mechanical stimulus.
1 P34644 (/IMP)
Response to inorganic substance GO:0010035
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 inorganic substance stimulus.

Regulation of pharyngeal pumping GO:0043051
Any process that modulates the contraction and relaxation movements of the pharyngeal muscle that mediates feeding in nematodes.
1 P34644 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of turning behavior involved in mating GO:0061096
Any process that decreases the rate, frequency or extent of turning behavior involved in mating. Turning behavior is the sharp ventral turn performed by the male as he approaches either the hermaphrodite head or tail, whilst trying to locate his partner's vulva. Turning occurs via a sharp ventral coil of the male's tail.
