Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted

Together with Moe, involved in control of axon targeting of R8 and R2-R5 ph [...] (343 aa)
