Enables

This protein enables 9 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
G protein-coupled adenosine receptor activitymolecular functionCombining with adenosine and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activating an associated G-protein; promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric G-protein complex. [GOC:bf, GOC:mah, PMID:9755289]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
calmodulin bindingmolecular functionBinding to calmodulin, a calcium-binding protein with many roles, both in the calcium-bound and calcium-free states. [GOC:krc]
lipid bindingmolecular functionBinding to a lipid. [GOC:ai]
enzyme bindingmolecular functionBinding to an enzyme, a protein with catalytic activity. [GOC:jl]
type 5 metabotropic glutamate receptor bindingmolecular functionBinding to a type 5 metabotropic glutamate receptor. [GOC:mah, GOC:nln]
identical protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to an identical protein or proteins. [GOC:jl]
protein-containing complex bindingmolecular functionBinding to a macromolecular complex. [GOC:jl]
alpha-actinin bindingmolecular functionBinding to alpha-actinin, one of a family of proteins that cross-link F-actin as antiparallel homodimers. Alpha-actinin has a molecular mass of 93-103 KDa; at the N-terminus there are two calponin homology domains, at the C-terminus there are two EF-hands. These two domains are connected by the rod domain. This domain is formed by triple-helical spectrin repeats. [PMID:10984498, PMID:11699871, PMID:15014165]

Located In

This protein is located in 11 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
intermediate filamentcellular componentA cytoskeletal structure that forms a distinct elongated structure, characteristically 10 nm in diameter, that occurs in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Intermediate filaments form a fibrous system, composed of chemically heterogeneous subunits and involved in mechanically integrating the various components of the cytoplasmic space. Intermediate filaments may be divided into five chemically distinct classes: Type I, acidic keratins; Type II, basic keratins; Type III, including desmin, vimentin and others; Type IV, neurofilaments and related filaments; and Type V, lamins. [http://www.cytochemistry.net/Cell-biology/intermediate_filaments.htm, ISBN:0198506732]
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]
membranecellular componentA lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it. [GOC:dos, GOC:mah, ISBN:0815316194]
dendritecellular componentA neuron projection that has a short, tapering, morphology. Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conduct nerve impulses towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body. [GOC:aruk, GOC:bc, GOC:dos, GOC:mah, GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732]
axolemmacellular componentThe portion of the plasma membrane surrounding an axon; it is a specialized trilaminar random mosaic of protein molecules floating within a fluid matrix of highly mobile phospholipid molecules, 7-8 nm in thickness. [http://www.medik.sk/clanky/bio_jun.htm, ISBN:0124325653]
asymmetric synapsecellular componentA type of synapse occurring between an axon and a dendritic spine or dendritic shaft. Asymmetric synapses, the most abundant synapse type in the central nervous system, involve axons that contain predominantly spherical vesicles and contain a thickened postsynaptic density. Most or all synapses of this type are excitatory. [GOC:dgh, GOC:ef]
presynaptic membranecellular componentA specialized area of membrane of the axon terminal that faces the plasma membrane of the neuron or muscle fiber with which the axon terminal establishes a synaptic junction; many synaptic junctions exhibit structural presynaptic characteristics, such as conical, electron-dense internal protrusions, that distinguish it from the remainder of the axon plasma membrane. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0815316194]
neuronal cell bodycellular componentThe portion of a neuron that includes the nucleus, but excludes cell projections such as axons and dendrites. [GOC:go_curators]
postsynaptic membranecellular componentA specialized area of membrane facing the presynaptic membrane on the tip of the nerve ending and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft). Neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane. [ISBN:0198506732]
presynaptic active zonecellular componentA specialized region of the plasma membrane and cell cortex of a presynaptic neuron; encompasses a region of the plasma membrane where synaptic vesicles dock and fuse, and a specialized cortical cytoskeletal matrix.

apoptotic processbiological processA programmed cell death process which begins when a cell receives an internal (e.g. DNA damage) or external signal (e.g. an extracellular death ligand), and proceeds through a series of biochemical events (signaling pathway phase) which trigger an execution phase.
