FunFam 6: Predicted mechanosensitive 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 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
Calcium ion binding GO:0005509
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with calcium ions (Ca2+).
1 O74839 (/NAS)
Stretch-activated, cation-selective, calcium channel activity GO:0015275
Enables the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a channel that opens in response to a mechanical stress in the form of stretching.
1 O74839 (/IDA)

There are 3 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
Cellular calcium ion homeostasis GO:0006874
Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of calcium ions at the level of a cell.
1 O74839 (/IMP)
Cell volume homeostasis GO:0006884
Any process involved in maintaining the steady state of a cell's volume. The cell's volume refers to the three-dimensional space occupied by a cell.
1 O74839 (/IMP)
Calcium ion transmembrane transport GO:0070588
A process in which a calcium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
1 O74839 (/IDA)

There are 3 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
Endoplasmic reticulum GO:0005783
The irregular network of unit membranes, visible only by electron microscopy, that occurs in the cytoplasm of many eukaryotic cells. The membranes form a complex meshwork of tubular channels, which are often expanded into slitlike cavities called cisternae. The ER takes two forms, rough (or granular), with ribosomes adhering to the outer surface, and smooth (with no ribosomes attached).
1 O74839 (/HDA)
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.
1 O74839 (/ISM)
Perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum GO:0097038
The portion of endoplasmic reticulum, the intracellular network of tubules and cisternae, that occurs near the nucleus. The lumen of the perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum is contiguous with the nuclear envelope lumen (also called perinuclear space), the region between the inner and outer nuclear membranes.
