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

tmc-2Transmembrane channel-like protein 2; Probable ion channel; Belongs to the TMC family. (1238 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
calm-1
CALMyrin (Calcium and Integrin Binding protein) homolog.
  
 
 
 0.908
hum-6
Unconventional myosin heavy chain 6; Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity. Unconventional myosins serve in intracellular movements. Their highly divergent tails are presumed to bind to membranous compartments, which would be moved relative to actin filaments (By similarity).
   
  
 0.796
F53B1.2
Sphingomyelin synthase-related 1.
      
 0.743
trp-4
ANK_REP_REGION domain-containing protein; Belongs to the transient receptor (TC 1.A.4) family.
   
 
 0.732
mec-10
Degenerin mec-10; Amiloride-sensitive sodium channel subunit required for mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity). Negatively regulates the turning step of male mating behavior.
   
  
 0.694
mec-4
Degenerin mec-4; Probable sodium channel subunit. May be needed for mechanosensory transduction (touch sensitivity). Negatively regulates the turning step of male mating behavior.
   
  
 0.672
trpa-1
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily A member 1 homolog; Receptor-activated non-selective cation channel involved in the nose-touch response and foraging behavior. Contributes to the neural responses of sensory neurons to touch, particularly after repeated mechanical stimulation. Has no apparent role in thermosensory or chemosensory behaviors.
   
 
 0.668
deg-1
Degenerin deg-1; Probable sodium channel subunit. Required by a subset of neurons.
   
  
 0.567
unc-89
Muscle M-line assembly protein unc-89; Structural component of the muscle M line which is involved in assembly and organization of sarcomere myofilaments. The large isoform a, isoform b, isoform d and isoform f play an essential role in maintaining the organization of sarcomeres but not myofilament alignment during body wall muscle development whereas the small isoform c and isoform d appear to have a minor role. Isoform b and isoform f are required for the organization of unc-15/paramyosin into sarcomere thick filaments in body wall muscles. By binding mel-26, a substrate adapter of t [...]
   
 
 0.564
mec-2
Mechanosensory protein 2; Positively regulates the activity of the putative mechanosensory transduction channel. May link the mechanosensory channel and the microtubule cytoskeleton of the touch receptor neurons. Required for the function of a set of six touch receptor neurons.
