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.

POMCCorticotropin-like intermediary peptide; ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Beta-endorphin and Met-enkephalin are endogenous opiates. [Melanocyte-stimulating hormone alpha]: Anorexigenic peptide. Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. [Beta-endorphin]: Endogenous orexigenic opiate. (342 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Mc4r
Melanocortin 4 receptor.

OPRM1
Mu-type opioid receptor; Receptor for endogenous opioids such as beta-endorphin and endomorphin. Receptor for natural and synthetic opioids including morphine, heroin, DAMGO, fentanyl, etorphine, buprenorphin and methadone. Agonist binding to the receptor induces coupling to an inactive GDP-bound heterotrimeric G-protein complex and subsequent exchange of GDP for GTP in the G-protein alpha subunit leading to dissociation of the G-protein complex with the free GTP- bound G-protein alpha and the G-protein beta-gamma dimer activating downstream cellular effectors. The agonist- and cell ty [...]

MC5R
Melanocortin 5 receptor.
    
 0.999
MC2R
Adrenocorticotropic hormone receptor; Receptor for corticotropin (ACTH). This receptor is mediated by G proteins (G(s)) which activate adenylate cyclase (cAMP).
    
 0.999
MC3R
Melanocortin 3 receptor.
    
 0.999
OPRD1
Opioid receptor delta 1; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
    
 0.995
ENSCPOP00000032922
Uncharacterized protein.
    
 0.995
MC1R
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor; Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
    
 0.993
PENK
Met-enkephalin-Arg-Gly-Leu; Met- and Leu-enkephalins compete with and mimic the effects of opiate drugs. They play a role in a number of physiologic functions, including pain perception and responses to stress. PENK(114-133) and PENK(238-259) increase glutamate release in the striatum. PENK(114-133) decreases GABA concentration in the striatum.
     
 0.990
PDYN
Alpha-neoendorphin; Leu-enkephalins compete with and mimic the effects of opiate drugs. They play a role in a number of physiologic functions, including pain perception and responses to stress (By similarity). Leumorphin has a typical opiod activity and may have anti- apoptotic effect.
