GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)
Category:GO:0009412 ! response to heavy metal
![]()
This GO term has been obsoleted.
Do not annotate to it.
id: GO:0009412
name: response to heavy metal
namespace: biological_process
def: "OBSOLETE. Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a heavy metal stimulus. Heavy metals are those metals that can form a coordination bond with a protein; this definition includes the following biologically relevant heavy metals: Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, V, W, Zn." [GOC:ai]
comment: This term was made obsolete because 'heavy metal' is an ambiguous grouping term which has no set meaning (see Pure Appl. Chem. Vol. 74, No. 5, pp. 793-807, 2002, for more information).
is_obsolete: true
consider: GO:0010038 ! response to metal ion
