Identifier Name Description
GO:0022857 transmembrane transporter activity Enables the transfer of a substance from one side of a membrane to the other.
GO:0022891 substrate-specific transmembrane transporter activity Enables the transfer of a specific substance or group of related substances from one side of a membrane to the other.
GO:0005215 transporter activity Enables the directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells.
GO:0005216 ion channel activity Enables the facilitated diffusion of an ion (by an energy-independent process) by passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism. May be either selective (it enables passage of a specific ion only) or non-selective (it enables passage of two or more ions of same charge but different size).
GO:0004871 signal transducer activity Conveys a signal across a cell to trigger a change in cell function or state. A signal is a physical entity or change in state that is used to transfer information in order to trigger a response.
GO:0004872 receptor activity Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity.
GO:0004970 ionotropic glutamate receptor activity Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens when glutamate has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.
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.
GO:0015075 ion transmembrane transporter activity Enables the transfer of an ion from one side of a membrane to the other.
GO:0003674 molecular_function Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions.
GO:0022892 substrate-specific transporter activity Enables the directed movement of a specific substance or group of related substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells.
GO:0038023 signaling receptor activity Receiving a signal and transmitting the signal 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:0060089 molecular transducer activity The molecular function that accepts an input of one form and creates an output of a different form.
GO:0022803 passive transmembrane transporter activity Enables the transfer of a solute from one side of the membrane to the other, down the solute's concentration gradient.
GO:0015267 channel activity Enables the energy-independent facilitated diffusion, mediated by passage of a solute through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel. Stereospecificity is not exhibited but this transport may be specific for a particular molecular species or class of molecules.
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.
GO:0022834 ligand-gated channel activity Enables the transmembrane transfer of a solute by a channel that opens when a specific ligand has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.
GO:0022836 gated channel activity Enables the transmembrane transfer of a solute by a channel that opens in response to a specific stimulus.
GO:0022838 substrate-specific channel activity Enables the energy-independent facilitated diffusion, mediated by passage of a specific solute through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel. Stereospecificity is not exhibited but this transport may be specific for a particular molecular species or class of molecules.
GO:0005230 extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity Enables the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens when a specific extracellular ligand has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.
GO:0015276 ligand-gated ion channel activity Enables the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens when a specific ligand has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.
GO:0004972 NMDA glutamate receptor activity An ionotropic glutamate receptor activity that exhibits slow gating by glutamate, acts by opening a nonselective cation channel, and can be activated by L-aspartate.
