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:0036094
|
small molecule binding
|
Binding to a small molecule, any low molecular weight, monomeric, non-encoded molecule. |
GO:0005488
|
binding
|
The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. |
GO:0043167
|
ion binding
|
Binding to an ion, a charged atoms or groups of atoms. |
GO:0043168
|
anion binding
|
Binding to an anion, a charged atom or group of atoms with a net negative charge. |
GO:0060089
|
molecular transducer activity
|
A compound molecular function in which an effector function is controlled by one or more regulatory components. |
GO:0038023
|
signaling receptor activity
|
Receiving a signal and transmitting it in the cell to initiate a change in cell activity. A signal is a physical entity or change in state that is used to transfer information in order to trigger a response. |
GO:0004888
|
transmembrane signaling receptor activity
|
Combining with an extracellular or intracellular signal and transmitting the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity or state as part of signal transduction. |
GO:0043177
|
organic acid binding
|
Binding to an organic acid, any acidic compound containing carbon in covalent linkage. |
GO:0031406
|
carboxylic acid binding
|
Binding to a carboxylic acid, an organic acid containing one or more carboxyl (COOH) groups or anions (COO-). |
GO:0016595
|
glutamate binding
|
Binding to glutamate, the anion of 2-aminopentanedioic acid. |
GO:0016597
|
amino acid binding
|
Binding to an amino acid, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents. |
GO:0008066
|
glutamate receptor activity
|
Combining with glutamate and transmitting the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity. |
