FunFam 12: Voltage-dependent anion-selective 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 5 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
Cation channel activity GO:0005261
Enables the energy-independent passage of cations across a lipid bilayer down a concentration gradient.
1 Q9VKP2 (/IDA)
Voltage-gated anion channel activity GO:0008308
Enables the transmembrane transfer of an anion by a voltage-gated channel. An anion is a negatively charged ion. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded.
1 Q9VKP2 (/IDA)
Voltage-gated anion channel activity GO:0008308
Enables the transmembrane transfer of an anion by a voltage-gated channel. An anion is a negatively charged ion. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded.
1 Q9P544 (/ISO)
Voltage-gated anion channel activity GO:0008308
Enables the transmembrane transfer of an anion by a voltage-gated channel. An anion is a negatively charged ion. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded.
1 Q9VKP2 (/ISS)
Porin activity GO:0015288
Enables the transfer of substances, sized less than 1000 Da, from one side of a membrane to the other. The transmembrane portions of porins consist exclusively of beta-strands which form a beta-barrel. They are found in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, plastids and possibly acid-fast Gram-positive bacteria.
1 Q9VKP2 (/IDA)

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.
1 Q9VKP2 (/IDA)
Mitochondrial transport GO:0006839
Transport of substances into, out of or within a mitochondrion.
1 Q9VKP2 (/ISS)
Mitochondrion organization GO:0007005
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a mitochondrion; includes mitochondrial morphogenesis and distribution, and replication of the mitochondrial genome as well as synthesis of new mitochondrial components.
1 Q21752 (/IMP)
Inorganic anion transmembrane transport GO:0098661
The process in which an inorganic anion is transported across a membrane.
1 Q9P544 (/ISO)
Mitochondrial transmembrane transport GO:1990542
The process in which a solute is transported from one side of a membrane to the other into, out of or within a mitochondrion.
1 Q9P544 (/ISO)

There are 4 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
Mitochondrion GO:0005739
A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration.

1 Q9VKP2 (/ISS)
Mitochondrial outer membrane GO:0005741
The outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing, lipid bilayer of the mitochondrial envelope.
1 Q9P544 (/ISO)
