Enables

This protein enables 10 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
acetylcholine transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of acetylcholine from one side of a membrane to the other. Acetylcholine is an acetic acid ester of the organic base choline and functions as a neurotransmitter, released at the synapses of parasympathetic nerves and at neuromuscular junctions. [GOC:ai]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
ATP bindingmolecular functionBinding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator. [ISBN:0198506732]
secondary active organic cation transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of organic cations from one side of a membrane to the other, up the solute's concentration gradient. The transporter binds the solute and undergoes a series of conformational changes. Transport works equally well in either direction. [GOC:curators]
amino acid transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of amino acids from one side of a membrane to the other. Amino acids are organic molecules that contain an amino group and a carboxyl group. [GOC:ai, GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729]
amino-acid betaine transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of betaine from one side of a membrane to the other. Betaine is the N-trimethyl derivative of an amino acid. [GOC:ai]
carnitine transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of carnitine across a membrane. Carnitine is a compound that participates in the transfer of acyl groups across the inner mitochondrial membrane. [GOC:ai]
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]
quaternary ammonium group transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of quaternary ammonium groups from one side of a membrane to the other. Quaternary ammonium groups are any compound that can be regarded as derived from ammonium hydroxide or an ammonium salt by replacement of all four hydrogen atoms of the NH4+ ion by organic groups. [ISBN:0198506732]
PDZ domain bindingmolecular functionBinding to a PDZ domain of a protein, a domain found in diverse signaling proteins. [GOC:go_curators, Pfam:PF00595]

Located In

This protein is located in 5 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
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]
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]
basal plasma membranecellular componentThe region of the plasma membrane located at the basal end 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]
apical plasma membranecellular componentThe region of the plasma membrane located at the apical end of the cell. [GOC:curators]
mitochondrial membranecellular componentEither of the lipid bilayers that surround the mitochondrion and form the mitochondrial envelope. [GOC:mah, NIF_Subcellular:sao1045389829]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 9 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
triglyceride metabolic processbiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways involving triglyceride, any triester of glycerol. The three fatty acid residues may all be the same or differ in any permutation. Triglycerides are important components of plant oils, animal fats and animal plasma lipoproteins. [ISBN:0198506732]
sodium ion transportbiological processThe directed movement of sodium ions (Na+) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:ai]
neurotransmitter transportbiological processThe directed movement of a neurotransmitter into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Neurotransmitters are any chemical substance that is capable of transmitting (or inhibiting the transmission of) a nerve impulse from a neuron to another cell. [GOC:ai]
carnitine metabolic processbiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways involving carnitine (hydroxy-trimethyl aminobutyric acid), a compound that participates in the transfer of acyl groups across the inner mitochondrial membrane. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732]
quaternary ammonium group transportbiological processThe directed movement into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore of quaternary ammonium compounds, any compound that can be regarded as derived from ammonium hydroxide or an ammonium salt by replacement of all four hydrogen atoms of the NH4+ ion by organic groups. [GOC:ai, ISBN:0198506732]
xenobiotic transportbiological processThe directed movement of a xenobiotic into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. A xenobiotic is a compound foreign to the organim exposed to it. It may be synthesized by another organism (like ampicilin) or it can be a synthetic chemical. [GOC:go_curators, GOC:krc]
amino acid import across plasma membranebiological processThe directed movement of an amino acid from outside of a cell, across the plasma membrane and into the cytosol. [GOC:krc, PMID:8195186]
