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

VAChTVesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) encodes a vesicular transport protein necessary for packaging the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into synaptic vesicles; Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Vesicular transporter family. (578 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ChAT
Choline O-acetyltransferase 13 kDa chain; Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) encodes a protein that catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is considered to be a specific marker for cholinergic neurons.
 
 
  
 0.982
VGAT
Vesicular GABA Transporter (VGAT) encodes an essential transporter that is responsible for packaging the neurotransmitter GABA into synaptic vesicles.
   
  
 0.956
Syt1
Synaptotagmin 1; May have a regulatory role in the membrane interactions during trafficking of synaptic vesicles at the active zone of the synapse. It binds acidic phospholipids with a specificity that requires the presence of both an acidic head group and a diacyl backbone.
   
 
 0.923
Rab3
Ras-related protein Rab-3; Rab3 (Rab3) encodes a member of a large family of Ras-like small GTPases. Localized primarily at the synapse, Rab3 product is involved in mechanisms that control synaptic development and function, including the regulation of active zone protein composition at the neuromuscular junction.
   
 
 0.921
Gad1
Glutamic acid decarboxylase 1 (Gad1) encodes an essential, nervous system-specific glutamic acid decarboxylase, which is the synthetic enzyme for the major inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA). It is required for a multitude of physiological functions and adult behaviors dependent on GABA, including sleep, memory, circadian rhythms and egg hatching; Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.
   
 
 0.866
VGlut
Vesicular glutamate transporter, isoform A.
   
  
 0.858
unc-13
Unc-13, isoform E; Unc-13 (unc-13) encodes a protein involved in synaptic vesicle exocytosis.
     
 0.819
Syb
Synaptobrevin; Unknown, but synaptobrevins are presumed to be involved in targeting and fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane as well as in neurotransmitter release.
     
 0.804
CG5265
Carn_acyltransf domain-containing protein; Carnitine O-acetyltransferase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: carnitine metabolic process; carnitine metabolic process, CoA-linked; fatty acid metabolic process; Belongs to the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family.
 
 
  
 0.802
Ace
Acetylcholinesterase 16 kDa subunit; Acetylcholine esterase (Ace) encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to acetate and choline, thus resetting the neurotransmission mechanism at neuromuscular junctions; Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
