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

fat-1Omega-3 fatty acid desaturase fat-1; Omega-3 fatty acid desaturase that acts on a range of substrates. Catalyzes the desaturation of linolenic acid (18:2n-6), dihomo-gamma-linoleic acid (DHGLA) (20:3n-6), and arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), to generate gamma linolenic acid (18:3n-3), eicosatetraenoic acid (20:4n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) respectively. Although the enzyme has been suggested to act on glycerolipids, the precise nature of the fatty acid substrate is unknown. (402 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fat-4
Delta(5) fatty acid desaturase fat-4; Catalyzes the desaturation of dihomo-gamma-linoleic acid (DHGLA) (20:3n-6) to generate arachidonic acid (20:4n-6). Also acts on a number of other substrates, including fatty acids that do not contain a double bond at the 8 position; Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family.

fat-3
Delta(6)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-3; Delta(6) fatty acid desaturase that acts on a range of substrates. Catalyzes the desaturation of linoleic acid (Delta(9,12)- 18:2, or C18:2(n-6)) to gamma-linolenic acid (Delta(6,9,12)-18:3, or C18:3(n-6)). Plays a role in synaptic vesicle recycling by regulating synaptojanin unc-26 localization at synapses.
   
 0.931
fat-6
Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-6; Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase that acts preferentially on stearoyl-CoA. Also acts on vaccenyl-coA and heptadecanyol-CoA. Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family.
   
 
 0.852
fat-7
Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-7; Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase that acts preferentially on stearoyl-CoA. Also acts on vaccenyl-coA, heptadecanyol-CoA, and palmitoyl-CoA.
     
 0.835
elo-1
Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein.
   
  
 0.830
fat-5
Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-5; Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase that acts preferentially on palmitoyl-CoA. Also acts on pentadecanoyl-coA and myristoyl-CoA.
     
 0.830
elo-2
Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein.
      
 0.813
faah-1
Fatty acid amide hydrolase 1; Degrades bioactive fatty acid amides like palmitoyl ethanolamide (PEA), palmitoleoyl ethanolamide (POEA), oleoyl ethanolamide (OEA), linoleoyl ethanolamide (LOEA), arachidonoyl ethanolamide (anandamide, or AEA), and eicosapentaneoyl ethanolamide (EPEA), thereby serving to terminate the signaling functions of these molecules. EPEA promotes dauer formation and may constitute a signal of high nutrient availability. Breakdown of EPEA may promote lifespan extension when nutrient availability is high. Facilitates axon regeneration after injury by degradating inh [...]
   
  
 0.665
elo-6
Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 6; Condensing enzyme that elongates saturated and monounsaturated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) and monomethyl branched-chain fatty acids (mmBCFAs). Required for the formation of isoheptadecanoate (C17iso).
