FunFam 118: GABA-gated ion channel

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 7 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
GABA-A receptor activity GO:0004890
Combining with the amino acid gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA, 4-aminobutyrate) to initiate a change in cell activity. GABA-A receptors function as chloride channels.
2 Q24352 (/IDA) Q24352 (/IDA)
Cation channel activity GO:0005261
Enables the energy-independent passage of cations across a lipid bilayer down a concentration gradient.
2 Q24352 (/IDA) Q24352 (/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.
2 Q24352 (/IDA) Q24352 (/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.
2 Q24352 (/ISS) Q24352 (/ISS)
Extracellularly glycine-gated ion channel activity GO:0016933
Enables the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens when glycine is bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts on the extracellular side of the plasma membrane.
2 Q24352 (/ISS) Q24352 (/ISS)
GABA-gated chloride ion channel activity GO:0022851
Enables the transmembrane transfer of a chloride ion by a channel that opens when GABA has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.
2 Q24352 (/IDA) Q24352 (/IDA)
Glycine-gated chloride ion channel activity GO:0022852
Enables the transmembrane transfer of a chloride ion by a channel that opens when glycine has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.

There are 5 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
Ion transport GO:0006811
The directed movement of charged atoms or small charged molecules into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
2 Q24352 (/IDA) Q24352 (/IDA)
Regulation of circadian rhythm GO:0042752
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a circadian rhythm. A circadian rhythm is a biological process in an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours.
2 Q24352 (/IGI) Q24352 (/IGI)
Regulation of circadian rhythm GO:0042752
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a circadian rhythm. A circadian rhythm is a biological process in an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours.
2 Q24352 (/IMP) Q24352 (/IMP)
Synaptic transmission, glycinergic GO:0060012
The vesicular release of glycine from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of glycine 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.
2 Q24352 (/IGI) Q24352 (/IGI)
Negative regulation of neuronal action potential GO:1904456
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of neuronal action potential.
2 Q24352 (/IMP) Q24352 (/IMP)

There are 2 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Plasma membrane GO:0005886
The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
2 Q24352 (/ISS) Q24352 (/ISS)
Integral component of membrane GO:0016021
The component of a 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.
