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

Uts2bUrotensin-2B; Potent vasoconstrictor; Belongs to the urotensin-2 family. (113 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Uts2r
Urotensin-2 receptor; High affinity receptor for urotensin-2 and urotensin-2B. The activity of this receptor is mediated by a G-protein that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system (By similarity).
    
 0.988
Uts2
Urotensin-2; Highly potent vasoconstrictor.
   
 
 0.985
Cckar
Cholecystokinin receptor type A; Receptor for cholecystokinin. Mediates pancreatic growth and enzyme secretion, smooth muscle contraction of the gall bladder and stomach. Has a 1000-fold higher affinity for CCK rather than for gastrin. It modulates feeding and dopamine-induced behavior in the central and peripheral nervous system. This receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system (By similarity).
     
 0.658
Cysltr2
Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2; Receptor for cysteinyl leukotrienes. The response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The rank order of affinities for the leukotrienes is LTC4 = LTD4 >> LTE4.
     
 0.657
Cysltr1
Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1; Receptor for cysteinyl leukotrienes mediating constriction of the microvascular smooth muscle during an inflammatory response. This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The rank order of affinities for the leukotrienes is LTD4 >> LTE4 = LTC4 >> LTB4.
     
 0.628
Qrfp
Orexigenic neuropeptide QRFP; Stimulates feeding and grooming behavior, metabolic rate and locomotor activity and increases blood pressure. May have orexigenic activity. May promote aldosterone secretion by the adrenal gland. Belongs to the RFamide neuropeptide family.
     
 0.623
Vwc2
Brorin; BMP antagonist which may play a role in neural development. Promotes cell adhesion.
   
  
 0.579
Arhgap36
Rho GTPase-activating protein 36; GTPase activator for the Rho-type GTPases by converting them to an inactive GDP-bound state.
   
  
 0.579
Cckbr
Gastrin/cholecystokinin type B receptor; Receptor for gastrin and cholecystokinin. The CCK-B receptors occur throughout the central nervous system where they modulate anxiety, analgesia, arousal, and neuroleptic activity. This receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system (By similarity). Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
     
 0.575
Npsr1
Neuropeptide S receptor; G-protein coupled receptor for neuropeptide S (NPS). Promotes mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. Inhibits cell growth in response to NPS binding. Involved in pathogenesis of asthma and other IgE-mediated diseases.
