WormMine: GOTerm GO:0016742 hydroxymethyl-, formyl- and related transferase activity GO

Name
GO

Identifier	Name	Description
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:0003824	catalytic activity	Catalysis of a biochemical reaction at physiological temperatures. In biologically catalyzed reactions, the reactants are known as substrates, and the catalysts are naturally occurring macromolecular substances known as enzymes. Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic.
GO:0016740	transferase activity	Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor). Transferase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 2.
GO:0016741	transferase activity, transferring one-carbon groups	Catalysis of the transfer of a one-carbon group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor).
GO:0016742	hydroxymethyl-, formyl- and related transferase activity	Catalysis of the transfer of a hydroxymethyl- or formyl group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor).
