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

nAChRbeta2Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor beta2 (nAChRbeta2) encodes a subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which is part of the superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels. These channels open to facilitate the passage of cations across synaptic membranes in response to the binding of their native ligand, acetylcholine. Mutations in nAChRbeta2 have been associated with resistance phenotypes to several neonicotinoid insecticides. (519 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
RIC-3
RIC3 acetylcholine receptor chaperone (RIC-3) encodes a protein that assists with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor protein folding.
   
 
 0.663
nAChRbeta3
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor beta 3 (Dbeta3) subunit; Transmembrane signaling receptor activity; acetylcholine-gated cation-selective channel activity; neurotransmitter receptor activity.
  
 
0.663
nAChRalpha7
Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha7 (nAChRalpha7) encodes a subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, a pentameric neurotransmitter-gated ion channel.
  
0.572
nAChRalpha5
Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha5 (nAChRalpha5) encodes a subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which is a pentameric neurotransmitter-gated ion channel.
  
0.558
nAChRbeta1
Acetylcholine receptor subunit beta-like 1; After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily.
  
 
0.534
mAChR-A
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor DM1; The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor mediates various cellular responses, including inhibition of adenylate cyclase, breakdown of phosphoinositides and modulation of potassium channels through the action of G proteins. Primary transducing effect is Pi turnover. May have a role in the processing of olfactory and mechanosensory signals; regulation of neurosecretion.
   
  
 0.507
nAChRalpha2
Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-like 2; After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily.
  
 
0.496
nAChRalpha6
Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor alpha6 (nAChRalpha6) encodes a postsynaptic receptor involved in cation transport, synaptic transmission, muscle homeostasis and sensitivity to insecticides.
  
 
0.480
Lcch3
Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit beta-like; GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. Combines with the ligand-gated ion channel subunit GRD to form cation-selective GABA-gated ion channels when coexpressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes.
  
 
 0.467
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.
