protein tag activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

A molecular function exhibited by a protein that is covalently attached (AKA tagged or conjugated) to another protein where it acts as a marker, recognized by the cellular apparatus to target the tagged protein for some cellular process such as modification, sequestration, transport or degradation. [GOC:dos, PMID:19028679, PMID:20054389, PMID:6305978]

Protein tag activity refers to the ability of a protein, often a short peptide sequence, to bind to a specific molecule or structure. These tags can be used for a variety of purposes in molecular biology and biotechnology, including protein purification, localization, and detection. The molecular function of a protein tag can be described by its interaction with other molecules and its ability to facilitate or alter their activity. For example, a protein tag might bind to an antibody, a specific enzyme, or a particular cellular compartment. The tag can then be used to purify the protein of interest, track its movement within a cell, or monitor its interaction with other molecules. The specific function of a protein tag is dependent on its sequence and structure, and can be tailored to a particular application.'
