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:0046873 metal ion transmembrane transporter activity Enables the transfer of metal ions 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:0008324 cation transmembrane transporter activity Enables the transfer of cation from one side of the membrane to the other.
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:0022890 inorganic cation transmembrane transporter activity Enables the transfer of inorganic cations from one side of a membrane to the other. Inorganic cations are atoms or small molecules with a positive charge that do not contain carbon in covalent linkage.
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:0046915 transition metal ion transmembrane transporter activity Enables the transfer of transition metal ions from one side of a membrane to the other. A transition metal is an element whose atom has an incomplete d-subshell of extranuclear electrons, or which gives rise to a cation or cations with an incomplete d-subshell. Transition metals often have more than one valency state. Biologically relevant transition metals include vanadium, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum and silver.
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:0005261 cation channel activity Enables the selective, energy-independent passage of cations across a lipid bilayer down a concentration gradient.
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:0005381 iron ion transmembrane transporter activity Catalysis of the transfer of iron (Fe) ions from one side of a membrane to the other.
GO:0097689 iron channel activity Enables selective, facilitated diffusion of an iron ion (by an energy-independent process) involving passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism.
