GO term | GO name | GO namespace | GO def |
GO:0005313 | L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity | molecular_function | Enables the transfer of L-glutamate from one side of a membrane to the other. L-glutamate is the anion of 2-aminopentanedioic acid. [GOC:ai, GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729] |
GO:0005314 | high-affinity L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity | molecular_function | Enables the transfer of glutamate from one side of a membrane to the other. In high-affinity transport the transporter is able to bind the solute even if it is only present at very low concentrations. [TC:2.A.3.10.5] |
GO:0008068 | extracellularly glutamate-gated chloride channel activity | molecular_function | Enables the transmembrane transfer of a chloride ion by a channel that opens when glutamate is bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts on the extracellular side of the plasma membrane. [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729] |
GO:0015501 | glutamate:sodium symporter activity | molecular_function | Enables the transfer of a solute or solutes from one side of a membrane to the other according to the reaction |
GO:0001504 | neurotransmitter uptake | biological_process | The directed movement of neurotransmitters into neurons or glial cells. This process leads to inactivation and recycling of neurotransmitters. [ISBN:0123668387] |
GO:0006811 | monoatomic ion transport | biological_process | The directed movement of a monoatomic ion into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Monatomic ions (also called simple ions) are ions consisting of exactly one atom. [GOC:ai] |
GO:0006835 | dicarboxylic acid transport | biological_process | The directed movement of dicarboxylic acids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:krc] |
GO:0006836 | neurotransmitter transport | biological_process | The 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] |
GO:0015804 | neutral amino acid transport | biological_process | The directed movement of neutral amino acids, amino acids with no net charge, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:ai] |
GO:0015813 | L-glutamate transmembrane transport | biological_process | The directed movement of L-glutamate across a membrane. [PMID:21307582] |
GO:0060079 | excitatory postsynaptic potential | biological_process | A process that leads to a temporary increase in postsynaptic potential due to the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell. The flow of ions that causes an EPSP is an excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) and makes it easier for the neuron to fire an action potential. [GOC:dph, GOC:ef] |
GO:1902476 | chloride transmembrane transport | biological_process | The process in which chloride is transported across a membrane. [GOC:TermGenie, GOC:vw] |
GO:0005886 | plasma membrane | cellular_component | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363] |
GO:0097060 | synaptic membrane | cellular_component | A specialized area of membrane on either the presynaptic or the postsynaptic side of a synapse, the junction between a nerve fiber of one neuron and another neuron or muscle fiber or glial cell. [GOC:BHF, PMID:20410104] |
GO:0098794 | postsynapse | cellular_component | The part of a synapse that is part of the post-synaptic cell. [GOC:dos] |
GO:0015175 | neutral L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity | molecular_function | Enables the transfer of neutral L-amino acids from one side of a membrane to the other. Neutral amino acids have side chains with no charge at pH 7.3. [GOC:ai, GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729] |
