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:0015289 ! pore-forming toxin activity
This GO term has been obsoleted.
Do not annotate to it.
id: GO:0015289
name: pore-forming toxin activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "OBSOLETE. Catalysis of the transport of electrolytes and other small molecules across a cell membrane. They are synthesized by one cell and secreted for insertion into the membrane of another cell where they form transmembrane pores. They may exert their toxic effects by allowing the free flow of electrolytes and other small molecules across the membrane, or they may allow entry into the target cell cytoplasm of a toxin protein that ultimately kills the cell." [PMID:10839820]
comment: This term was made obsolete because it represents a class of gene products.
