GO term: protein tag Help



Ontology: Molecular Function (GO:0031386)

Definition: Acting as an indicator or marker to facilitate recognition by other molecules in the cell. Recognition of the tag, which can be covalently attached to the target molecule, may result in modification, sequestration, transport or degradation of the molecule in question.

Synonyms: protein tagging activity; ubiquitin; covalent modifier
