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

Ilp2Probable 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. (137 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ilp5
Insulin-like peptide 5 (Ilp5) encodes a peptide involved in the insulin signaling pathway, sleep and mating behavior in females; Belongs to the insulin family.
   
 0.995
Ilp3
Insulin-like peptide 3 (Ilp3) encodes a peptide involved in the insulin signaling pathway, the sugar-mediated activation of TOR signaling, sleep and mating behavior in females.
   
 
 0.994
Ilp1
Probable insulin-like peptide 1 A chain; Insulin receptor binding; hormone activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: insulin receptor signaling pathway.
     
 0.993
ImpL2
Neural/ectodermal development factor IMP-L2; Essential developmental role during embryogenesis, in particular the normal development of the nervous system. May be involved in some aspect of cell adhesion.
    
 
 0.990
Ilp6
Insulin-like peptide 6 (Ilp6) encodes a protein that promotes growth during starvation.
     
 0.988
InR
Insulin-like receptor subunit beta 1; Has a ligand-stimulated tyrosine-protein kinase activity. Required for cell survival. Regulates body size and organ size by altering cell number and cell size in a cell-autonomous manner. Involved in the development of the embryonic nervous system, and is necessary for axon guidance and targeting in the visual system. Also plays a role in life-span determination.
    
 0.986
Ilp7
Insulin-like peptide 7 (Ilp7) encodes a secreted insulin-like peptide that binds to the receptor encoded by InR to activate the insulin signaling pathway. It is expressed by small populations of neurons and plays roles in female egg-site selection, sleep duration, and nutrient-dependent food intake and tracheal growth.
     
 0.982
Ilp4
Insulin-like peptide 4 (Ilp4) encodes a protein involved in larval feeding behavior; Belongs to the insulin family.
     
 0.982
chico
Insulin receptor substrate 1; Activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase when bound to the regulatory p85 subunit (By similarity). May mediate the control of various cellular processes by insulin-like peptides. When phosphorylated by the insulin receptor binds specifically to various cellular proteins containing SH2 domains. Involved in control of cell proliferation, cell size, and body and organ growth throughout development. Also has a role in a signaling pathway controlling the physiological response required to endure periods of low nutrient conditions. Insulin/insulin-like growth fac [...]
     
 0.965
Diap2
Death-associated inhibitor of apoptosis 2; Required for activation of NF-kappaB transcription factors in the immune deficiency (Imd) signaling cascade which is essential for innate immune responses upon infection by Gram-negative bacteria. Promotes cytoplasmic cleavage of Rel and its translocation to the nucleus where it drives expression of antimicrobial peptides. Binds, polyubiquitinates and activates Dredd which is required for Rel- mediated induction of antimicrobial peptides. Anti- apoptotic protein which binds, ubiquitinates and inactivates the effector caspase Drice. Suppresses [...]
