FunFam 11: Ammonium transporter

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
Ammonium transmembrane transporter activity GO:0008519
Enables the transfer of ammonium from one side of a membrane to the other. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals.
1 Q9P7F3 (/IGI)
Ammonium transmembrane transporter activity GO:0008519
Enables the transfer of ammonium from one side of a membrane to the other. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals.
1 Q9BLG4 (/ISS)
Methylammonium transmembrane transporter activity GO:0015200
Enables directed movement of methylammonium, CH3NH2, from one side of a membrane to the other.
1 Q9P7F3 (/IMP)

There are 8 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
Excretion GO:0007588
The elimination by an organism of the waste products that arise as a result of metabolic activity. These products include water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrogenous compounds.
1 Q9BLG4 (/IMP)
Ammonium transport GO:0015696
The directed movement of ammonium into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals.
1 Q9BLG4 (/IMP)
Ammonium transport GO:0015696
The directed movement of ammonium into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals.
1 Q9BLG4 (/ISS)
Asexual reproduction GO:0019954
The biological process in which new individuals are produced by either a single cell or a group of cells, in the absence of any sexual process.
1 Q9BLG4 (/IMP)
Sorocarp development GO:0030587
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the sorocarp over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process begins with the aggregation of individual cells and ends with the mature sorocarp. The sorocarp is a structure containing a spore-bearing sorus that sits on top of a stalk. An example of this process is found in Dictyostelium discoideum.
1 Q9BLG4 (/IMP)
Positive regulation of aggregate size involved in sorocarp development GO:0031159
Any process that increases the size of the aggregate formed during sorocarp formation.
1 Q9BLG4 (/IMP)
Ammonium transmembrane transport GO:0072488
The process in which ammonium is transported across a membrane. Ammonium is the cation NH4+.
1 Q9P7F3 (/IGI)
Methylammonium transmembrane transport GO:0072489
The process in which methylammonium is transported across a membrane.
1 Q9P7F3 (/IMP)

There are 7 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Fungal-type vacuole GO:0000324
A vacuole that has both lytic and storage functions. The fungal vacuole is a large, membrane-bounded organelle that functions as a reservoir for the storage of small molecules (including polyphosphate, amino acids, several divalent cations (e.g. calcium), other ions, and other small molecules) as well as being the primary compartment for degradation. It is an acidic compartment, containing an ensemble of acid hydrolases. At least in S. cerevisiae, there are indications that the morphology of the vacuole is variable and correlated with the cell cycle, with logarithmically growing cells having a multilobed, reticulated vacuole, while stationary phase cells contain a single large structure.
1 Q9P7F3 (/HDA)
Autophagosome membrane GO:0000421
The lipid bilayer surrounding an autophagosome, a double-membrane-bounded vesicle in which endogenous cellular material is sequestered.
1 Q9BLG4 (/IDA)
Vacuolar membrane GO:0005774
The lipid bilayer surrounding the vacuole and separating its contents from the cytoplasm of the cell.
1 Q9BLG4 (/IDA)
Plasma membrane GO:0005886
The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
1 Q9BLG4 (/IDA)
Integral component of plasma membrane GO:0005887
The component of the plasma 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 Q9P7F3 (/TAS)
Phagocytic vesicle membrane GO:0030670
The lipid bilayer surrounding a phagocytic vesicle.
1 Q9BLG4 (/IDA)
Endolysosome membrane GO:0036020
The lipid bilayer surrounding an endolysosome. An endolysosome is a transient hybrid organelle formed by fusion of a late endosome with a lysosome.
