"ASIP" - agouti signaling protein in Homo sapiens
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Size
small protein node
small nodes:
protein of unknown 3D structure
large protein node
large nodes:
some 3D structure is known or predicted
Node Color
colored protein node
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
non-colored protein node
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding each other.
Known Interactions
database edge
from curated databases
experiment edge
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
neighborhood edge
gene neighborhood
fusion edge
gene fusions
cooccurrence edge
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining edge
textmining
coexpression edge
co-expression
homology edge
protein homology

ASIPagouti signaling protein; Involved in the regulation of melanogenesis. The binding of ASP to MC1R precludes alpha-MSH initiated signaling and thus blocks production of cAMP, leading to a down-regulation of eumelanogenesis (brown/black pigment) and thus increasing synthesis of pheomelanin (yellow/red pigment). In higher primates, agouti may affect the quality of hair pigmentation rather than its pattern of deposition. Could well play a role in neuroendocrine aspects of melanocortin action. May have some functional role in regulating the lipid metabolism with adipocytes (132 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
MC1R
melanocortin 1 receptor (alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone receptor) (317 aa)
        score_image score_image score_image   0.982
ATRN
attractin (1429 aa)
        score_image   score_image   0.914
SLC2A4
solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 4; Insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter (509 aa)
          score_image score_image   0.902
VAMP2
vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (synaptobrevin 2); Involved in the targeting and/or fusion of transport vesicles to their target membrane (116 aa)
          score_image     0.900
LNPEP
leucyl/cystinyl aminopeptidase; Release of an N-terminal amino acid, cleaves before cysteine, leucine as well as other amino acids. Degrades peptide hormones such as oxytocin, vasopressin and angiotensin III, and plays a role in maintaining homeostasis during pregnancy. May be involved in the inactivation of neuronal peptides in the brain. Cleaves Met-enkephalin and dynorphin. Binds angiotensin IV and may be the angiotensin IV receptor in the brain (1025 aa)

SLC24A5
solute carrier family 24, member 5; Cation exchanger involved in pigmentation, possibly by participating in ion transport in melanosomes. Probably transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) in exchange for 4 Na(+) (500 aa)
            score_image   0.898
MC4R
melanocortin 4 receptor; Receptor specific to the heptapeptide core common to adrenocorticotropic hormone and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-MSH. This receptor is mediated by G proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase (332 aa)
        score_image   score_image   0.841
MC3R
melanocortin 3 receptor; Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. This receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase (323 aa)
        score_image   score_image   0.836
MC5R
melanocortin 5 receptor; Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. This receptor is a possible mediator of the immunomodulation properties of melanocortins (325 aa)
        score_image   score_image   0.812
MC2R
melanocortin 2 receptor (adrenocorticotropic hormone); Receptor for ACTH. This receptor is mediated by G proteins (G(s)) which activate adenylate cyclase (297 aa)
