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-8Acetylcholine receptor 8. (537 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
unc-50
Protein unc-50; Required for cell surface expression of acetylcholine receptors in body-wall muscles.
      
 0.865
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.
   
  
 0.863
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.
  
0.840
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.
  
0.790
lev-1
Acetylcholine receptor subunit beta-type lev-1; Non-alpha subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). 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.
  
 
0.735
slo-1
Calcium-activated potassium channel slo-1; Potassium channel activated by both membrane depolarization or increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) that mediates export of K(+). Its activation dampens the excitatory events that elevate the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration and/or depolarize the cell membrane. It therefore contributes to repolarization of the membrane potential. Essential for the regulation of neurotransmitter release at synapses.
   
  
 0.730
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.
  
  
0.701
acc-1
Acetylcholine-gated chloride channel subunit acc-1; Acetylcholine-gated chloride channel subunit. Forms functional homopentameric (in vitro) and functional heteropentameric ion channels with acc-3 and acc-4 ion channel subunits. Currents in channels are triggered in response to acetylcholine, but not in response to GABA, glutamate, glycine, histamine or dopamine.
  
  
 0.651
molo-1
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.650
lgc-47
Ligand-Gated ion Channel; Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
  
  
 0.632
