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

Npbwr1Neuropeptides B/W receptor type 1; Interacts specifically with a number of opioid ligands. Receptor for neuropeptides B and W, which may be involved in neuroendocrine system regulation, food intake and the organization of other signals (By similarity); Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. (329 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Npw
Neuropeptide W-23; Plays a regulatory role in the organization of neuroendocrine signals accessing the anterior pituitary gland. Stimulates water drinking and food intake. May play a role in the hypothalamic response to stress. When injected into the lateral cerebroventricle, it elevates prolactin (PRL) and corticosterone and lowers growth hormone (GH) release; Belongs to the neuropeptide B/W family.
    
 0.999
Npb
Neuropeptide B-29; May be involved in the regulation of feeding, neuroendocrine system, memory and learning. May be involved in the afferent pain pathway (By similarity).
    
 0.999
Pcdhgb6
Protocadherin gamma subfamily B, 6.
      
 0.575
Npy
C-flanking peptide of NPY; NPY is implicated in the control of feeding and in secretion of gonadotrophin-release hormone; Belongs to the NPY family.
    
 
 0.546
LOC100912228
Neuropeptide Y.
    
 
 0.546
Prss45
Inactive serine protease 45.
    
 
 0.540
Rxfp1
Relaxin receptor 1; Receptor for relaxins. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins leading to stimulation of adenylate cyclase and an increase of cAMP. Binding of the ligand may also activate a tyrosine kinase pathway that inhibits the activity of a phosphodiesterase that degrades cAMP (By similarity); Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
      
 0.487
Gamt
Guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase; Converts guanidinoacetate to creatine, using S- adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor. Important in nervous system development; Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. RMT2 methyltransferase family.
      
 0.459
Alx1
ALX homeobox protein 1; Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor that binds palindromic sequences within promoters and may activate or repress the transcription of a subset of genes. Most probably regulates the expression of genes involved in the development of mesenchyme-derived craniofacial structures (By similarity). Early on in development, it plays a role in forebrain mesenchyme survival (By similarity). May also induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the expression of SNAI1 (By similarity). Belongs to the paired homeobox family.
    
 
 0.452
Pomc
Corticotropin-like intermediary peptide; [Corticotropin]: Stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. [Melanocyte-stimulating hormone beta]: Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. [Met-enkephalin]: Endogenous opiate; Belongs to the POMC family.
