Identifier Name Description
GO:0003824 catalytic activity Catalysis of a biochemical reaction at physiological temperatures. In biologically catalyzed reactions, the reactants are known as substrates, and the catalysts are naturally occurring macromolecular substances known as enzymes. Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic.
GO:0008080 N-acetyltransferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of an acetyl group to a nitrogen atom on the acceptor molecule.
GO:0016747 transferase activity, transferring acyl groups other than amino-acyl groups Catalysis of the transfer of an acyl group, other than amino-acyl, from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor).
GO:0008152 metabolic process The chemical reactions and pathways, including anabolism and catabolism, by which living organisms transform chemical substances. Metabolic processes typically transform small molecules, but also include macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, and protein synthesis and degradation.
GO:0016746 transferase activity, transferring acyl groups Catalysis of the transfer of an acyl group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor).
GO:0016740 transferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor). Transferase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 2.
GO:0016407 acetyltransferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of an acetyl group to an acceptor molecule.
GO:0016410 N-acyltransferase activity Catalysis of the transfer of an acyl group to a nitrogen atom on the acceptor molecule.
GO:0008150 biological_process Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end.
GO:0003674 molecular_function Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions.
GO:0034212 peptide N-acetyltransferase activity Catalysis of the acetylation of an amino acid residue of a peptide or protein, according to the reaction: acetyl-CoA + peptide = CoA + N-acetylpeptide.
GO:0004596 peptide alpha-N-acetyltransferase activity Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + peptide = CoA + N-alpha-acetylpeptide. This reaction is the acetylation of the N-terminal amino acid residue of a peptide or protein.
