MOLECULAR FUNCTION

 CYSTEINE: (Kidney Stones)

Molecular Function:

·         Cysteine-type peptidase activity

Definition: Catalysis of the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in a polypeptide chain by a mechanism in which the sulfhydryl group of a cysteine residue at the active center acts as a nucleophile.

Synonyms: Synonyms are alternative words or phrases closely related in meaning to the term name, with an indication of the relationship between the name and synonym given by the synonym scope.

TYPE IV COLLAGEN: (Alport Syndrome)

Molecular Function:

·         extracellular matrix structural constituent

Definition: The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of the extracellular matrix.

·         extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength

Definition: A constituent of the extracellular matrix that enables the matrix to resist longitudinal stress.

·         identical protein binding

Definition: Binding to an identical protein or proteins.

·         metal ion binding

Definition: Binding to a metal ion.

·         platelet-derived growth factor binding

Definition: Binding to platelet-derived growth factor.

·         protease binding

Definition: Binding to a protease or a peptidase.

Polycystin-1:

Molecular function:

 

·     calcium channel activity

Definition:

Enables the facilitated diffusion of a calcium ion (by an energy-independent process) involving passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism.

·     carbohydrate binding

Definition:

Binding to a carbohydrate, which includes monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides as well as substances derived from monosaccharides by reduction of the carbonyl group (alditols), by oxidation of one or more hydroxy groups to afford the corresponding aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids, or by replacement of one or more hydroxy group(s) by a hydrogen atom. Cyclitols are generally not regarded as carbohydrates.

·     protein domain specific binding

Definition:

Binding to a specific domain of a protein.

·     protein kinase binding

Definition:

Binding to a protein kinase, any enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP, to a protein substrate.

·     transmembrane transporter binding

Definition:

Binding to a transmembrane transporter, a protein or protein complex that enables the transfer of a substance, usually a specific substance or a group of related substances, from one side of a membrane to the other

·     Wnt-activated receptor activity

Definition:

Combining with a Wnt protein and transmitting the signal across the plasma membrane to initiate a change in cell activity.


V2 vasopressin:

Molecular function:

 

·     G protein-coupled receptor activity

Definition:

Combining with an extracellular signal 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.

·     peptide binding

Definition:

Binding to a peptide, an organic compound comprising two or more amino acids linked by peptide bonds.

·     vasopressin receptor activity

Definition:

Combining with vasopressin to initiate a change in cell activity.


Siderocalin: 

Molecular function: 

 

Definition: 

Binding to enterobactin. 


Definition: 

Binding to an identical protein or proteins. 


Definition: 

Binding to an iron (Fe) ion. 


Definition: 

Binding to a small molecule, any low molecular weight, monomeric, non-encoded molecule.
