STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
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 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
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 to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

Guca1bGuanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2; Stimulates two retinal guanylyl cyclase (GCs) GUCY2E and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is low, and inhibits GUCY2E and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is elevated (By similarity). This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of GCs is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure (By similarity). May be involved in cone photoreceptor response and recovery of response in bright light. (201 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Gucy2e
Retinal guanylyl cyclase 1; Catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in rods and cones of photoreceptors. Plays an essential role in phototransduction, by mediating cGMP replenishment. May also participate in the trafficking of membrane-asociated proteins to the photoreceptor outer segment membrane.
   
 0.969
Gucy2d
Guanylate cyclase D; Functions as an olfactory receptor activated by urine odorants, uroguanylin and guanylin and as well by the volatile semiochemicals carbon disulfide (CS2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Has guanylate cyclase activity upon binding of the ligand (By similarity). Activation of GUCY2D neurons leads to the cGMP-dependent activation of the CNGA3 channels, membrane depolarization and an increase in action potential frequency. Signaling pathways activated by GUCY2D may trigger social behaviors such as acquisition of food preference.
   
 0.962
Gucy2f
Retinal guanylyl cyclase 2; Responsible for the synthesis of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in rods and cones of photoreceptors (By similarity). Plays an essential role in phototransduction, by mediating cGMP replenishment. May also participate in the trafficking of membrane-asociated proteins to the photoreceptor outer segment membrane.
   
 0.954
Guca1a
Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 1; Stimulates retinal guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is low and inhibits guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is elevated (By similarity). This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of retinal guanylyl cyclase is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure (By similarity). May be involved in cone photoreceptor light response and recovery of response in bright light.

Cnga1
cGMP-gated cation channel alpha-1; Subunit of the rod cyclic GMP-gated cation channel, which is involved in the final stage of the phototransduction pathway. When light hits rod photoreceptors, cGMP concentrations decrease causing rapid closure of CNGA1/CNGB1 channels and, therefore, hyperpolarization of the membrane potential.
   
 
 0.824
Cngb1
Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel beta 1.
   
 0.796
Pde6a
Rod cGMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase subunit alpha; This protein participates in processes of transmission and amplification of the visual signal.
   
  
 0.723
Pde6b
Rod cGMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase subunit beta; This protein participates in processes of transmission and amplification of the visual signal. Necessary for the formation of a functional phosphodiesterase holoenzyme.
   
  
 0.715
Rho
Rhodopsin; Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth. Light-induced isomerization of 11-cis to all-trans retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins. Subsequent receptor phosphorylation mediates displacement of the bound G-protein alpha subunit by the arrestin SAG and terminates signaling.
   
  
 0.691
Aipl1
Aryl-hydrocarbon-interacting protein-like 1; May be important in protein trafficking and/or protein folding and stabilization.
