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

Tas2r129Taste receptor type 2 member 129; Putative taste receptor which may play a role in the perception of bitterness. (320 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Tas1r1
Taste receptor type 1 member 1; Putative taste receptor. TAS1R1/TAS1R3 responds to the umami taste stimulus (the taste of monosodium glutamate) and also to most of the 20 standard L-amino acids, but not to their D-enantiomers or other compounds. Sequence differences within and between species can significantly influence the selectivity and specificity of taste responses.

Calhm1
Calcium homeostasis modulator protein 1; Pore-forming subunit of a voltage-gated ion channel, also permeable to larger molecules including ATP, required for sensory perception of sweet, bitter and umami tastes. Specifically present in type II taste bud cells, where it plays a central role in sweet, bitter and umami taste perception by inducing ATP release from the cell, ATP acting as a neurotransmitter to activate afferent neural gustatory pathways. Together with CALHM3, forms a fast-activating voltage-gated ATP-release channel in type II taste bud cells (TBCs). Acts both as a voltage- [...]

Vmn1r51
Vomeronasal type-1 receptor 51; Putative pheromone receptor implicated in the regulation of social as well as reproductive behavior; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
      
 0.489
Plcb2
1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase beta-2; The production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is mediated by activated phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes. This protein may be involved in the transduction of bitter taste stimuli (By similarity).

Tas2r118
Taste receptor type 2 member 16; Gustducin-coupled receptor implicated in the perception of bitter compounds in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. Signals through PLCB2 and the calcium-regulated cation channel TRPM5 (By similarity).
  
    0.471
Trpm5
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 5; Voltage-modulated Ca(2+)-activated, monovalent cation channel (VCAM) that mediates a transient membrane depolarization and plays a central role in taste transduction. Monovalent-specific, non-selective cation channel that mediates the transport of Na(+), K(+) and Cs(+) ions equally well. Activated directly by increases in intracellular Ca(2+), but is impermeable to it. Gating is voltage-dependent and displays rapid activation and deactivation kinetics upon channel stimulation even during sustained elevations in Ca(2+). A [...]

Prss37
Probable inactive serine protease 37; Plays a role in male fertility. May have a role in sperm migration or binding to zona-intact eggs. Involved in the activation of the proacrosin/acrosin system (By similarity).
