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.

MipAllatostatins MIP; Ligand for the sex peptide receptor (SPR). Stabilizes sleep and maintains sleep homeostasis to inhibit the activity of wake-promoting circuits, such as those that involve the pigment dispersing factor (pdf) neurons. Regulated by the circadian clock network and pathways associated with a sleep homeostat. May also have a regulatory role in gut motility. (211 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Hug
Protein hugin; Probably has a role in larval molting; Belongs to the pyrokinin family.
   
  
 0.883
AstC
Allatostatin C (AstC) encodes a myotropic factor involved in heart rate decrease.
   
  
 0.675
AstA
Allatostatin-A; May act as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator.
   
  
 0.667
FMRFa
Corticotropin-releasing factor-like; FMRFamide (FMRFa) encodes a propeptide precursor that is processed to generate bioactive neuropeptides, many of which activate the G protein coupled receptor encoded by FMRFaR. Physiologically, FMRFa-encoded peptides contribute to neuromuscular physiology modulation and sleep regulation.

Dh44
Diuretic hormone 44, isoform A; Hormone activity; G protein-coupled receptor binding; diuretic hormone activity; neuropeptide hormone activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: locomotor rhythm; G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; neuropeptide signaling pathway; body fluid secretion; hormone-mediated signaling pathway.
   
  
 0.623
SIFa
Neuropeptide SIFamide; Ligand for the neuropeptide SIFamide receptor. Modulates sexual behavior by negatively regulating female receptivity to male courtship and by playing a role in male sex discrimination. Also involved in promoting sleep. Belongs to the FARP (FMRFamide related peptide) family.
   
  
 0.622
Nplp1
Neuropeptide-like 1; [NPLP1-4]: Acts as a ligand for the receptor-type guanylate cyclase Gyc76C. Stimulates Gyc76c-dependent cGMP production and modulates the IMD innate immune pathway in response to salt stress by inducing nuclear translocation of NF-kappa-B protein Rel which leads to increased expression of the antimicrobial peptide diptericin. Does not appear to play a role in Gyc76C- mediated wing development.
   
  
 0.620
SPR
Sex peptide receptor; Receptor for two functionally unrelated ligands; SP (A70A) for controlling reproductive behaviors and MIP for controlling sleep behavior. MIP-SPR pathway functions as a sleep homeostat which perceives the need for sleep and stabilizes it by providing a slow-acting inhibitory input to the fly arousal system that involve the pigment dispersing factor (pdf) neurons. SP-SPR is one of the multiple SP pathways that induce female post- mating behavioral responses (PMR) such as the suppression of mating receptivity and initiation of egg laying. The PMR switch is achieved [...]

CCAP
Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) encodes a conserved 9 amino acid neuropeptide. It is produced by 1-2 neurons in each segment of the ventral nervous system and is released during the shedding of the old exoskeleton (ecdysis). It also has cardioactive functions.
   
  
 0.611
Ilp2
Probable insulin-like peptide 2 A chain; Plays a role in regulating body size by increasing cell size and cell number of individual organs. Probably mediates its growth effects by acting as a ligand for the insulin receptor and transducing a signal via the Chico/PI3K/Akt(PKB) pathway.
