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 74: Gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor gamma2 sub...

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
Glycine binding GO:0016594
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with glycine, aminoethanoic acid.
1 Q9UPF3 (/TAS)
Extracellularly glycine-gated chloride channel activity GO:0016934
Enables the transmembrane transfer of a chloride 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.
1 Q9UPF3 (/TAS)
Neurotransmitter receptor activity GO:0030594
Combining with a neurotransmitter and transmitting the signal to initiate a change in cell activity.
1 Q9UPF3 (/NAS)

There are 2 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
Chloride transport GO:0006821
The directed movement of chloride into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
1 Q9UPF3 (/NAS)
Chemical synaptic transmission GO:0007268
The vesicular release of classical neurotransmitter molecules from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of neurotransmitter 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.
1 Q9UPF3 (/NAS)

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
Glycine-gated chloride channel complex GO:0016935
A protein complex that forms a transmembrane channel through which chloride ions may pass in response to glycine binding to the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.
