FunFam 8: 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 1 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.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Aging GO:0007568
A developmental process that is a deterioration and loss of function over time. Aging includes loss of functions such as resistance to disease, homeostasis, and fertility, as well as wear and tear. Aging includes cellular senescence, but is more inclusive. May precede death and may succeed developmental maturation (GO:0021700).
1 Q20605 (/IMP)
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 Q8MXY0 (/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 Q8MXY0 (/ISS)
Culmination involved in sorocarp development GO:0031154
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the culminant over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Culmination begins with a morphogenetic change of the finger-like or migratory slug giving rise to an organized structure containing a stalk and a sorus. This process is the final stage of sorocarp development.
1 Q8MXY0 (/IMP)
Regulation of developmental process GO:0050793
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of development, the biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a multicellular organism over time from an initial condition (e.g. a zygote, or a young adult) to a later condition (e.g. a multicellular animal or an aged adult).
1 Q8MXY0 (/IMP)
Detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of smell GO:0050911
The series of events involved in the perception of smell in which an olfactory chemical stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal.
1 Q9VFA9 (/IMP)
Cellular response to ammonia GO:1903718
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an ammonia stimulus.
1 Q9VFA9 (/IMP)

There are 3 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
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 Q8MXY0 (/IDA)
Phagocytic vesicle membrane GO:0030670
The lipid bilayer surrounding a phagocytic vesicle.
1 Q8MXY0 (/IDA)
Perinuclear region of cytoplasm GO:0048471
Cytoplasm situated near, or occurring around, the nucleus.
