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-12Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-like subunit ACR-12. (573 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
acr-3
Acetylcholine receptor subunit beta-type acr-3; Non-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.
  
  
0.853
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.
  
0.850
lev-10
LEV-10A protein.
   
  
 0.815
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.
  
  
0.769
acr-2
Acetylcholine receptor subunit beta-type acr-2; Non-alpha subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Acts in cholinergic motoneurons to regulate presynaptic neurotransmitter release, thereby ensuring normal level of excitation of cholinergic motoneurons during locomotion. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily.
  
 
0.729
unc-50
Protein unc-50; Required for cell surface expression of acetylcholine receptors in body-wall muscles.
      
 0.724
ric-3
Resistance to inhibitors of cholinesterase protein 3; Required for maturation and cell surface expression of acetylcholine receptors; Belongs to the ric-3 family.
   
  
 0.718
oig-1
Immunoglobulin domain-containing protein oig-1; Plays a role in neural development, where it temporally regulates synapse formation in the D-type inhibitory GABAergic motor neurons, dorsal D (DD) and ventral D (VD) motor neurons. Controls the translocation of postsynaptic proteins, such as the acetylcholine receptor subunit acr- 12, and presynaptic proteins, such as snb-1, along nerve cords to prevent premature synapse remodeling/formation.
   
  
 0.673
unc-29
Acetylcholine receptor subunit beta-type unc-29; Non-alpha subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Involved in nAChR sensitivity to nicotine and levasimole. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily.
  
0.657
acc-4
Acetylcholine-gated ion channel acc-4; Probable acetylcholine-gated chloride channel subunit. Does not have ion channel activity alone as a homopentamer, but forms a functional heteropentameric ion channel with acc-1. May function with lgc-46 to regulate synaptic transmission and synaptic vesicle release in response to acetylcholine in cholinergic motor neurons.
