| 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: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:0008289 | lipid binding | Binding to a lipid. |
| GO:0005501 | retinoid binding | Binding to a retinoid, a class of isoprenoids that contain or are derived from four prenyl groups linked head-to-tail. Retinoids include retinol and retinal and structurally similar natural derivatives or synthetic compounds, but need not have vitamin A activity. |
| GO:0019840 | isoprenoid binding | Binding to an isoprenoid compound, isoprene (2-methylbuta-1,3-diene) or compounds containing or derived from linked isoprene (3-methyl-2-butenylene) residues. |
| GO:0019842 | vitamin binding | Binding to a vitamin, one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body. |
| GO:0016918 | retinal binding | Binding to retinal, one of the forms of vitamin A. Retinal plays an important role in the visual process in most vertebrates, combining with opsins to form visual pigments in the retina. |
| GO:0005502 | 11-cis retinal binding | Binding to 11-cis retinal, an isomer of retinal that plays an important role in the visual process in most vertebrates. 11-cis retinal combines with opsin in the rods (scotopsin) to form rhodopsin or visual purple. Retinal is one of the three compounds that makes up vitamin A. |
