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

glc-2Glutamate-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. (434 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ben-1
Tubulin beta chain; Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain.
      
 0.758
lev-9
Protein lev-9; Scaffolding protein that is necessary to cluster acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junctions.
      
 0.660
cup-4
Acetylcholine 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.
  
  
 0.565
dyf-7
Protein dyf-7; Required for permeability of amphid and phasmid neurons to external dyes, chemotaxis to ammonium chloride, avoidance of high osmotic stimuli, male mating and dauer formation. Along with dex-1, enables neurite growth and maintenance by anchoring amphid dendritic tips during neuron cell body migration in embryonic and larval development.
      
 0.535
lgc-23
Neur_chan_LBD domain-containing protein; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
   
 0.517
unc-38
Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-type unc-38; Alpha subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Probably acts in cholinergic motoneurons to regulate presynaptic neurotransmitter release, thereby ensuring normal level of excitation of cholinergic motoneurons during locomotion. 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.
  
   
 0.500
mgl-2
G_PROTEIN_RECEP_F3_4 domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.499
acr-9
AcetylCholine Receptor.
  
    0.482
unc-63
Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-type unc-63; Alpha subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Probably acts in cholinergic motoneurons to regulate presynaptic neurotransmitter release, thereby ensuring normal level of excitation of cholinergic motoneurons during locomotion. Involved in nAChR sensitivity to nicotine and levamisole.
  
   
 0.460
lgc-13
Neur_chan_LBD domain-containing protein; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
