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

cup-4Acetylcholine receptor-like protein cup-4; Thought to regulate endocytosis in coelomocytes through modulation of phospholipase C activity. Possible acetylcholine receptor; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. (433 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
nlp-7
Neuropeptide-like protein 7; May regulate lifespan in response to food availability and oxidative stress.

lgc-44
Ligand-Gated ion Channel; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
  
 0.681
lgc-39
Ligand-Gated ion Channel; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
  
 0.663
lgc-41
Ligand-Gated ion Channel; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
   
 0.629
acc-3
Acetylcholine-gated chloride channel subunit acc-3; Probable acetylcholine-gated chloride channel regulatory subunit. Does not have ion channel activity alone as a homopentamer, but forms a functional heteropentameric ion channel with acc-1. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
   
 0.621
lgc-47
Ligand-Gated ion Channel; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
  
 0.568
glc-2
Glutamate-gated chloride channel subunit beta; Glutamate-gated chloride channel subunit; channel properties depend on the subunit composition. Glutamate binding triggers a rapidly reversible current in heteromeric channels formed by glc-1 and glc-2, while the anti-helmintic drug ivermectin and other avermectins trigger a permanently open channel configuration. Channels containing only glc- 2 are activated by glutamate, but not by ivermectin (in vitro). The heteromeric channel formed by glc-1 and glc-2 is also activated by ibotenate, and it is blocked by picrotoxin and flufenamic acid.

lgc-53
Ligand-Gated ion Channel; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
   
 0.562
exp-1
Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor exp-1; GABA receptor that functions as an excitatory cation channel. Permeable to monovalent cations such as Na(+) and K(+). Has negligible divalent cation permeability. Does not act as a chloride channel. Mediates enteric muscle contractions required for defecation. Probably by regulating the defecation motor program, required for fatty acid uptake by intestinal cells.
