GO Term : GO:0036128 CatSper complex GO

Namespace  cellular_component Obsolete  false
Description  A sperm-specific voltage-gated calcium channel that controls the intracellular calcium ion concentration and, thereby, the swimming behavior of sperm. Consists of a heteromeric tetramer surrounding a calcium ion- selective pore. May also contain additional auxiliary subunits.

Identifier Name Description
GO:0032991 protein-containing complex A stable assembly of two or more macromolecules, i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, in which at least one component is a protein and the constituent parts function together.
GO:0005575 cellular_component A location, relative to cellular compartments and structures, occupied by a macromolecular machine. There are three types of cellular components described in the gene ontology: (1) the cellular anatomical entity where a gene product carries out a molecular function (e.g., plasma membrane, cytoskeleton) or membrane-enclosed compartments (e.g., mitochondrion); (2) virion components, where viral proteins act, and (3) the stable macromolecular complexes of which gene product are parts (e.g., the clathrin complex).
GO:0110165 cellular anatomical structure A part of a cellular organism consisting of a material entity with granularity above the level of a protein complex but below that of an anatomical system. Note that cellular organisms exclude viruses.
GO:0071944 cell periphery The broad region around and including the plasma membrane of a cell, encompassing the cell cortex (inside the cell), the plasma membrane, and any external encapsulating structures.
GO:0098796 membrane protein complex Any protein complex that is part of a membrane.
GO:0016020 membrane A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it.
GO:1990351 transporter complex A protein complex facilitating transport of molecules (proteins, small molecules, nucleic acids) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells.
GO:1902495 transmembrane transporter complex A transmembrane protein complex which enables the transfer of a substance from one side of a membrane to the other.
GO:0005886 plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
GO:0098797 plasma membrane protein complex Any protein complex that is part of the plasma membrane.
GO:0034703 cation channel complex An ion channel complex through which cations pass.
GO:0034702 monoatomic ion channel complex A protein complex that spans a membrane and forms a water-filled channel across the phospholipid bilayer allowing selective monoatomic ion transport down its electrochemical gradient.
GO:0005891 voltage-gated calcium channel complex A protein complex that forms a transmembrane channel through which calcium ions may pass in response to changes in membrane potential.
GO:0034704 calcium channel complex An ion channel complex through which calcium ions pass.
GO:0036128 CatSper complex A sperm-specific voltage-gated calcium channel that controls the intracellular calcium ion concentration and, thereby, the swimming behavior of sperm. Consists of a heteromeric tetramer surrounding a calcium ion- selective pore. May also contain additional auxiliary subunits.
