Enables

This protein enables 8 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
nucleotide bindingmolecular functionBinding to a nucleotide, any compound consisting of a nucleoside that is esterified with (ortho)phosphate or an oligophosphate at any hydroxyl group on the ribose or deoxyribose. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0198547684]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
oxysterol bindingmolecular functionBinding to oxysterol, an oxidized form of cholesterol. [GOC:curators]
voltage-gated monoatomic anion channel activitymolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of an anion by a voltage-gated channel. An anion is a negatively charged ion. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. [GOC:mtg_transport, GOC:vw, ISBN:0815340729]
porin activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of substances, sized less than 1000 Da, from one side of a membrane to the other. The transmembrane portions of porins consist exclusively of beta-strands which form a beta-barrel. They are found in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, plastids and possibly acid-fast Gram-positive bacteria. [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729, PMID:10839820, TC:1.B.1.-.-]
cholesterol bindingmolecular functionBinding to cholesterol (cholest-5-en-3-beta-ol); the principal sterol of vertebrates and the precursor of many steroids, including bile acids and steroid hormones. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732]
phosphatidylcholine bindingmolecular functionBinding to a phosphatidylcholine, a glycophospholipid in which a phosphatidyl group is esterified to the hydroxyl group of choline. [GOC:mah, ISBN:0198506732]
ceramide bindingmolecular functionBinding to a ceramide, a class of lipids composed of sphingosine linked to a fatty acid. Ceramides are a major component of cell membranes. [GOC:sart]

Located In

This protein is located in 8 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
acrosomal vesiclecellular componentA structure in the head of a spermatozoon that contains acid hydrolases, and is concerned with the breakdown of the outer membrane of the ovum during fertilization. It lies just beneath the plasma membrane and is derived from the lysosome. [ISBN:0124325653, ISBN:0198506732]
nucleuscellular componentA membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent. [GOC:go_curators]
mitochondrioncellular componentA semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. [GOC:giardia, ISBN:0198506732]
mitochondrial outer membranecellular componentThe outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing, lipid bilayer of the mitochondrial envelope. [GOC:ai]
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]
mitochondrial membranecellular componentEither of the lipid bilayers that surround the mitochondrion and form the mitochondrial envelope. [GOC:mah, NIF_Subcellular:sao1045389829]
mitochondrial nucleoidcellular componentThe region of a mitochondrion to which the DNA is confined. [GOC:jl]
sperm midpiececellular componentThe highly organized segment of the sperm flagellum which begins at the connecting piece and is characterized by the presence of 9 outer dense fibers (ODFs) that lie outside each of the 9 outer axonemal microtubule doublets and by a sheath of mitochondria that encloses the ODFs and the axoneme; the midpiece terminates about one-fourth of the way down the sperm flagellum at the annulus, which marks the beginning of the principal piece.

Involved In

This protein is involved in 6 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
monoatomic anion transportbiological processThe directed movement of a monoatomic anion, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Monatomic anions (also called simple anions) are negatively charged ions consisting of exactly one atom. [GOC:ai]
binding of sperm to zona pellucidabiological processThe process in which the sperm binds to the zona pellucida glycoprotein layer of the egg. The process begins with the attachment of the sperm plasma membrane to the zona pellucida and includes attachment of the acrosome inner membrane to the zona pellucida after the acrosomal reaction takes place. [GOC:dph, ISBN:0878932437]
negative regulation of protein polymerizationbiological processAny process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the process of creating protein polymers. [GOC:mah]
mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilizationbiological processThe process by which the mitochondrial outer membrane becomes permeable to the passing of proteins and other molecules from the intermembrane space to the cytosol as part of the apoptotic signaling pathway. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mtg_apoptosis, GOC:pg, PMID:21041309]
monoatomic anion transmembrane transportbiological processThe process in which a monoatomic anion is transported across a membrane. Monatomic anions (also called simple anions) are negatively charged ions consisting of exactly one atom. [GOC:dos, GOC:vw]
negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathwaybiological processAny process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. [GOC:mtg_apoptosis]
