FunFam 68: zinc-activated ligand-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 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
Zinc ion binding GO:0008270
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with zinc (Zn) ions.
1 Q401N2 (/IC)
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.
1 Q401N2 (/IDA)
