The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_3_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:

"
Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel transmembrane domain

FunFam 51: Cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha 6

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 2 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
Acetylcholine receptor activity GO:0015464
Combining with acetylcholine and transmitting the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity.
1 P18845 (/ISS)
Acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity GO:0022848
Selectively enables the transmembrane transfer of a cation by a channel that opens upon binding acetylcholine.
1 P18845 (/ISS)

There are 4 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
Signal transduction GO:0007165
The cellular process in which a signal is conveyed to trigger a change in the activity or state of a cell. Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell.
1 P18845 (/ISS)
Nervous system development GO:0007399
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of nervous tissue over time, from its formation to its mature state.
1 P18845 (/ISS)
Behavioral response to nicotine GO:0035095
Any process that results in a change in the behavior of an organism as a result of a nicotine stimulus.
1 P18845 (/ISS)
Synaptic transmission involved in micturition GO:0060084
The process of communication from a neuron to a smooth muscle in the bladder that contributes to the expulsion of urine from the body.
1 P18845 (/ISS)

There are 1 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

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-gated channel complex GO:0005892
A homo- or hetero-pentameric protein complex that forms a transmembrane channel through which ions may pass in response to acetylcholine binding.
