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

lgc-40Ligand-Gated ion Channel; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. (494 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
acr-20
AcetylCholine Receptor; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
   
 0.728
acr-18
AcetylCholine Receptor; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
   
 0.713
pbo-6
Proton-gated ion channel subunit pbo-6; Forms a proton-gated ion channel with pbo-5 that is activated by acidification of the posterior coelomic space, leading to posterior body wall muscle contraction (pBoc) during the defecation cycle. Not necessary for stimulation of posterior body contraction (pBoc). Does not bind neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glycine, serotonin, glutamate or choline.
  
   
 0.628
lgc-26
Neur_chan_LBD domain-containing protein.
  
   
 0.595
lgc-30
Neur_chan_LBD domain-containing protein; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
  
 0.592
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.
  
   
 0.582
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.
  
   
 0.570
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.
  
   
 0.567
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.
