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

acr-21AcetylCholine Receptor. (635 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.

srh-40
Serpentine Receptor, class H.

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.
  
 
0.636
acr-24
AcetylCholine Receptor; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
 
0.606
acr-20
AcetylCholine Receptor; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
 
0.603
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.
  
 
0.596
deg-3
Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-type deg-3; Subunit of the non-synaptic neuronal acetylcholine receptor, 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 ; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily.
  
 
0.594
twk-13
TWiK family of potassium channels; Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.
   
  
 0.589
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.
