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:0015076 ! heavy metal ion transporter activity
![]()
This GO term has been obsoleted.
Do not annotate to it.
id: GO:0015076
name: heavy metal ion transporter activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "OBSOLETE. Enables the directed movement of heavy metal ions into, out of or within a cell, or between cells. Heavy metals are those that can form a coordination bond with a protein, as opposed to an alkali or alkaline-earth metal that can only form an ionic bond; 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
