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

ggr-2GABA/Glycine Receptor family (See gbr); Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. (546 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
acr-23
Betaine receptor acr-23; Betaine receptor that functions as a ligand-gated non- selective monovalent cation channel in mechanosensory neurons to maintain basal levels of locomotion. The channel is permeable to Na(+) and K(+) but not to Ba(2+) or Ca(2+) ions. Elicits current in response to betaine, very weak current in response to choline, virtually no current in response to acetylcholine and nicotine, and no current in response to glycine and GABA.
  
  
 0.772
pbo-5
Proton-gated ion channel subunit pbo-5; Forms a proton-gated ion channel with pbo-6 that is activated by acidification of the posterior coelomic space, leading to posterior body wall muscle contraction (pBoc) during the defecation cycle. Probably by regulating the defecation motor program, required for fatty acid uptake by intestinal cells. Does not bind neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, gamma- aminobutyric acid, glycine, serotonin, glutamate or choline ; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily.
  
  
0.734
acr-5
Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-type acr-5; Possible acetylcholine receptor; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily.
  
  
 0.710
B0280.7
Uncharacterized protein B0280.7.
      
 0.696
acr-24
AcetylCholine Receptor; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
  
 0.665
des-2
Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-type des-2; Subunit of the non-synaptic neuronal acetylcholine receptor (AChR), which may play a role in chemotaxis towards choline. After binding choline or acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.
  
  
 0.656
lgc-12
Ligand-Gated ion Channel; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
    0.591
lev-1
Acetylcholine receptor subunit beta-type lev-1; Non-alpha subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Involved in nAChR sensitivity to nicotine. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily.
  
  
 0.580
acr-7
Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-type acr-7; After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.
  
    0.577
acr-12
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-like subunit ACR-12.
  
  
 0.574
