cargo receptor activity

Term Information

Feedback 
Accession
GO:0038024
Name
cargo receptor activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
endocytic receptor activity, receptor activity involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis, receptor activity, transport receptor activity
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Binding specifically to a substance (cargo) to deliver it to a transport vesicle. Cargo receptors span membranes (for instance the plasma membrane or the endoplasmic reticulum membrane), binding simultaneously to cargo molecules and coat adaptors, to efficiently recruit the cargo molecules to nascent vesicles. Source: PMID:15239958, PMID:27903609
Comment
Notes: (1) For receptors binding a molecule but coupled to a signal transduction pathway, consider instead the term 'signaling receptor activity ; GO:0038023' and its children. (2) Cargo receptors transport substances by vesicular transport, not by transmembrane transport. For transmembrane transporters, consider instead the term 'transmembrane transporter activity ; GO:0022857'.
