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:0005488 binding The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule.
GO:0005515 protein binding Binding to a protein.
GO:0140299 molecular sensor activity Binding to a molecule and eliciting a change in the protein's activity in response to the intracellular level of that molecule.
GO:0098772 molecular function regulator activity A molecular function regulator regulates the activity of its target via non-covalent binding that does not result in covalent modification to the target. Examples of molecular function regulators include regulatory subunits of multimeric enzymes and channels. Mechanisms of regulation include allosteric changes in the target and competitive inhibition.
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:0005034 osmosensor activity Sensing extracellular osmolarity to initiate a change in cell activity, and spanning the membrane of the cell.
