FunFam 260: Major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2B

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
Symporter activity GO:0015293
Enables the active transport of a solute across a membrane by a mechanism whereby two or more species are transported together in the same direction in a tightly coupled process not directly linked to a form of energy other than chemiosmotic energy.
1 Q6DEJ6 (/ISS)
Sphingolipid transporter activity GO:0046624
Enables the directed movement of sphingolipids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells. Sphingolipids are a class of lipids containing the long-chain amine diol sphingosine or a closely related base (a sphingoid).
1 A6NFX1 (/IDA)
Sphingolipid transporter activity GO:0046624
Enables the directed movement of sphingolipids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells. Sphingolipids are a class of lipids containing the long-chain amine diol sphingosine or a closely related base (a sphingoid).
1 Q3T9M1 (/IMP)
Sphingolipid transporter activity GO:0046624
Enables the directed movement of sphingolipids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells. Sphingolipids are a class of lipids containing the long-chain amine diol sphingosine or a closely related base (a sphingoid).

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Lipid transport GO:0006869
The directed movement of lipids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Lipids are compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent.
1 A6NFX1 (/IDA)
Lipid transport GO:0006869
The directed movement of lipids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Lipids are compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent.
1 Q3T9M1 (/IMP)
Lipid transport GO:0006869
The directed movement of lipids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Lipids are compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent.
1 Q3T9M1 (/ISO)
Fatty acid transport GO:0015908
The directed movement of fatty acids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis.
1 Q6DEJ6 (/ISS)
Transcytosis GO:0045056
The directed movement of endocytosed material through the cell and its exocytosis from the plasma membrane at the opposite side.
1 Q6DEJ6 (/ISS)
Lysophospholipid transport GO:0051977
The directed movement of phospholipids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. A lysophospholipid is a phospholipid that lacks one of its fatty acyl chains; it is an intermediate formed during digestion of dietary and biliary phospholipids.
1 Q6DEJ6 (/IDA)
Establishment of blood-brain barrier GO:0060856
Establishment of the barrier between the blood and the brain. The cells in the brain are packed tightly together preventing the passage of most molecules from the blood into the brain. Only lipid soluble molecules or those that are actively transported can pass through the blood-brain barrier.
1 Q6DEJ6 (/ISS)
Lipid transport across blood-brain barrier GO:1990379
The directed movement of lipid molecules passing through the blood-brain barrier.
1 Q6DEJ6 (/ISS)

There are 3 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Integral component of plasma membrane GO:0005887
The component of the plasma membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane.
2 A6NFX1 (/IDA) Q3T9M1 (/IDA)
Integral component of plasma membrane GO:0005887
The component of the plasma membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane.
1 Q3T9M1 (/ISO)
