Enables

This protein enables 6 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
pyruvate secondary active transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of pyruvate from one side of a membrane to the other, up its concentration gradient. The transporter binds the solute and undergoes a series of conformational changes. Transport works equally well in either direction and is driven by a chemiosmotic source of energy. Secondary active transporters include symporters and antiporters. [GOC:mtg_transport]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
lactate transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of lactate from one side of a membrane to the other. Lactate is 2-hydroxypropanoate, CH3-CHOH-COOH; L(+)-lactate is formed by anaerobic glycolysis in animal tissues, and DL-lactate is found in sour milk, molasses and certain fruit juices. [GOC:ai, ISBN:0198506732, RHEA:34987]
symporter activitymolecular functionEnables the active transport of a solute across a membrane by a mechanism whereby two or more species are transported together in the same direction in a tightly coupled process not directly linked to a form of energy other than chemiosmotic energy. [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729, PMID:10839820]
identical protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to an identical protein or proteins. [GOC:jl]
pyruvate transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of pyruvate, 2-oxopropanoate, from one side of a membrane to the other. [GOC:ai]

Located In

This protein is located in 9 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
nucleoplasmcellular componentThat part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus. [GOC:ma, ISBN:0124325653]
cytosolcellular componentThe part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. [GOC:hjd, GOC:jl]
plasma membranecellular componentThe membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363]
basolateral plasma membranecellular componentThe region of the plasma membrane that includes the basal end and sides of the cell. Often used in reference to animal polarized epithelial membranes, where the basal membrane is the part attached to the extracellular matrix, or in plant cells, where the basal membrane is defined with respect to the zygotic axis. [GOC:go_curators]
Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapsecellular componentA synapse between the Schaffer collateral axon of a CA3 pyramidal cell and a CA1 pyramidal cell. [PMID:16399689]
hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapsecellular componentOne of the giant synapses that form between the mossy fiber axons of dentate gyrus granule cells and the large complex spines of CA3 pyramidal cells. It consists of a giant bouton known as the mossy fiber expansion, synapsed to the complex, multiheaded spine (thorny excresence) of a CA3 pyramidal cell. [DOI:10.1002/1096-9861, PMID:13869693, PMID:23264762]
parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapsecellular componentAn excitatory synapse formed by the parallel fibers of granule cells synapsing onto the dendrites of Purkinje cells. [PMID:16623829, PMID:3209740]
postsynaptic density membranecellular componentThe membrane component of the postsynaptic density. This is the region of the postsynaptic membrane in which the population of neurotransmitter receptors involved in synaptic transmission are concentrated. [GOC:dos]
glutamatergic synapsecellular componentA synapse that uses glutamate as a neurotransmitter. [GOC:dos]
