|
cellular process
|
Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
|
GO:0051179
|
localization
|
Any process in which a cell, a substance, or a cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported, tethered to or otherwise maintained in a specific location. In the case of substances, localization may also be achieved via selective degradation. |
|
GO:0008150
|
biological_process
|
A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |
|
GO:0022857
|
transmembrane transporter activity
|
Enables the transfer of a substance, usually a specific substance or a group of related substances, from one side of a membrane to the other. |
|
GO:0005215
|
transporter activity
|
Enables the directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of or within a cell, accross or in between cells. |
|
GO:0003674
|
molecular_function
|
A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs. |
|
GO:0051234
|
establishment of localization
|
Any process that localizes a substance or cellular component. This may occur via movement, tethering or selective degradation. |
|
GO:0006810
|
transport
|
The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) or cellular components (such as complexes and organelles) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some agent such as a transporter or a transporter complex, a pore or a motor protein. |
|
GO:0055085
|
transmembrane transport
|
The process in which a solute is transported across a lipid bilayer, from one side of a membrane to the other. |
|
GO:0015267
|
channel activity
|
Enables the energy-independent facilitated diffusion of a solute through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel. Stereospecificity is not exhibited but this transport may be specific for a particular molecular species or class of molecules. |
|
GO:0022803
|
passive transmembrane transporter activity
|
Enables the transfer of a single solute from one side of a membrane to the other by a mechanism involving conformational change, either by facilitated diffusion or in a membrane potential dependent process if the solute is charged. |
