FunFam 601: Carboxylic ester hydrolase

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
Acetylcholinesterase activity GO:0003990
Catalysis of the reaction: acetylcholine + H2O = choline + acetate.
1 Q9U295 (/IDA)
Protein homodimerization activity GO:0042803
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer.
1 Q9U295 (/IPI)
Protein dimerization activity GO:0046983
The formation of a protein dimer, a macromolecular structure consists of two noncovalently associated identical or nonidentical subunits.
1 Q9U295 (/IPI)

There are 6 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
Acetylcholine catabolic process in synaptic cleft GO:0001507
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of acetylcholine that occurs in the synaptic cleft during synaptic transmission.
1 Q9U295 (/IC)
Nematode larval development GO:0002119
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the nematode larva over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Nematode larval development begins with the newly hatched first-stage larva (L1) and ends with the end of the last larval stage (for example the fourth larval stage (L4) in C. elegans). Each stage of nematode larval development is characterized by proliferation of specific cell lineages and an increase in body size without alteration of the basic body plan. Nematode larval stages are separated by molts in which each stage-specific exoskeleton, or cuticle, is shed and replaced anew.
1 Q9U295 (/IGI)
Acetylcholine catabolic process GO:0006581
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of acetylcholine, the acetic acid ester of the organic base choline.
1 Q9U295 (/IDA)
Hatching GO:0035188
The emergence of an immature organism from a protective structure.
1 Q9U295 (/IGI)
Regulation of backward locomotion GO:0043058
Any process that modulates the speed, mechanical force, or rhythm of the posterior movement of an organism.
1 Q9U295 (/IGI)
Multicellular organismal movement GO:0050879
Any physiological process involved in changing the position of a multicellular organism or an anatomical part of a multicellular organism.
1 Q9U295 (/IGI)

There are 0 GO terms relating to "cellular component"
