Descriptions

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) ion channels contribute to electrical activity in neurons and cardiomyocytes. HCN1-4 share a similar multidomain organization with an N-terminal transmembrane region, a C-terminal intracellular region (IR) and a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CBD). Channel opening is primarily stimulated by transmembrane elements that sense membrane hyperpolarization. In the absence of cAMP, the CBD shows steric clashes with the C-linker within IR, which become energetically unfavored. The steric clashes are eliminated by cAMP binding, which selects for a CBD state devoid of steric clashes with the tetrameric C-linker and facilitates channel opening.

8 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
axon The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter.
basolateral plasma membrane The region of the plasma membrane that includes the basal end and sides of the cell. Often used in reference to animal polarized epithelial membranes, where the basal membrane is the part attached to the extracellular matrix, or in plant cells, where the basal membrane is defined with respect to the zygotic axis.
dendrite A neuron projection that has a short, tapering, morphology. Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conduct nerve impulses towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.
HCN channel complex A cation ion channel with a preference for K+ over Na+ ions, which is activated by membrane hyperpolarization, and consists of a tetramer of HCN family members. Some members of this family (HCN1, HCN2 and HCN4) are also activated when cAMP binds to their cyclic nucleotide binding domain (CNBD). Channel complexes of this family play an important role in the control of pacemaker activity in the heart.
neuronal cell body The portion of a neuron that includes the nucleus, but excludes cell projections such as axons and dendrites.
perinuclear region of cytoplasm Cytoplasm situated near, or occurring around, the nucleus.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
terminal bouton Terminal inflated portion of the axon, containing the specialized apparatus necessary to release neurotransmitters. The axon terminus is considered to be the whole region of thickening and the terminal bouton is a specialized region of it.

7 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
cAMP binding Binding to cAMP, the nucleotide cyclic AMP (adenosine 3',5'-cyclophosphate).
identical protein binding Binding to an identical protein or proteins.
intracellularly cAMP-activated cation channel activity Enables the transmembrane transfer of a cation by a channel that opens when intracellular cAMP has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.
potassium channel activity Enables the facilitated diffusion of a potassium ion (by an energy-independent process) involving passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism.
voltage-gated potassium channel activity Enables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by a voltage-gated channel. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded.
voltage-gated potassium channel activity involved in SA node cell action potential depolarization Enables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by a voltage-gated channel through the plasma membrane of an SA node cardiac muscle cell contributing to the depolarization phase of an action potential. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded.
voltage-gated sodium channel activity Enables the transmembrane transfer of a sodium ion by a voltage-gated channel. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded.

Name Definition
cellular response to aldosterone Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an aldosterone stimulus.
cellular response to cAMP Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a cAMP (cyclic AMP, adenosine 3',5'-cyclophosphate) stimulus.
cellular response to cGMP Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a cGMP (cyclic GMP, guanosine 3',5'-cyclophosphate) stimulus.
in utero embryonic development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the embryo in the uterus over time, from formation of the zygote in the oviduct, to birth. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus.
membrane depolarization during SA node cell action potential The process in which SA node cardiac muscle cell membrane potential changes in the depolarizing direction from the negative resting potential towards the positive membrane potential that will be the peak of the action potential.
modulation of chemical synaptic transmission Any process that modulates the frequency or amplitude of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse. Amplitude, in this case, refers to the change in postsynaptic membrane potential due to a single instance of synaptic transmission.
monoatomic cation transport The directed movement of a monoatomic cation, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Monatomic cations (also called simple cations) are positively charged ions consisting of exactly one atom.
potassium ion import across plasma membrane The directed movement of potassium ions from outside of a cell, across the plasma membrane and into the cytosol.
potassium ion transmembrane transport A process in which a potassium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other.
regulation of cardiac muscle cell action potential involved in regulation of contraction Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of action potential creation, propagation or termination in a cardiac muscle cell contributing to the regulation of its contraction.
regulation of cardiac muscle contraction Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cardiac muscle contraction.
regulation of heart contraction Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of heart contraction. Heart contraction is the process in which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body.
regulation of heart rate Any process that modulates the frequency or rate of heart contraction.
regulation of heart rate by cardiac conduction A cardiac conduction process that modulates the frequency or rate of heart contraction.
regulation of membrane depolarization Any process that modulates the rate, frequency or extent of membrane depolarization. Membrane depolarization is the process in which membrane potential changes in the depolarizing direction from the resting potential, usually from negative to positive.
regulation of membrane potential Any process that modulates the establishment or extent of a membrane potential, the electric potential existing across any membrane arising from charges in the membrane itself and from the charges present in the media on either side of the membrane.
SA node cell action potential An action potential that occurs in a sinoatrial node cardiac muscle cell.
sodium ion import across plasma membrane The directed movement of sodium ions from outside of a cell, across the plasma membrane and into the cytosol.
