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

TbhTyramine beta-hydroxylase; Converts tyramine into octopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in ovulation and locomotion. Functions in an amine-mediated Bacc-dependent signaling pathway that negatively regulates acute ethanol sensitivity. Belongs to the copper type II ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family. (670 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Tdc2
Tyrosine decarboxylase activity; carboxy-lyase activity; pyridoxal phosphate binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: oviposition; locomotor rhythm; behavioral response to cocaine; cellular amino acid metabolic process; locomotory behavior.
   
  
 0.978
Ddc
Aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine. Variation in the synthesis of bioamines may be a factor contributing to natural variation in life span. Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.

shps
AT01267p; Oxidoreductase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: oxidation-reduction process.
   
 
 0.916
Oamb
Octopamine receptor Oamb; Receptor for octopamine (OA) which is a neurotransmitter, neurohormone and neuromodulator in invertebrates. Stimulates intracellular accumulation of cAMP and Ca(2+) following ligand binding. Required for ovulation. Following activation on mature follicle cells by OA, induces activity of the metalloprotease Mmp2 which leads to breakdown of the posterior follicle wall, resulting in ovulation. Ligand binding probably also leads to activation of CamKII which is also required for ovulation. Modulates sleep/wake behavior by acting in neurons of the pars intercerebra [...]
   
  
 0.860
Octbeta2R
Octopamine receptor beta-2R; Autoreceptor for octopamine (OA), which is a neurotransmitter, neurohormone, and neuromodulator in invertebrates. Essential for ovulation and fertilization. During ovulation it mediates the OA-induced relaxation of the oviduct visceral muscles, by increasing cAMP levels and activating effectors such as calmodulin- dependent kinase II (CaMKII) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) pathways. Positively regulates synaptic growth; an action that is antagonized by Octbeta1R.
      
 0.842
Trh
Tryptophan hydroxylase (Trh) encodes an enzyme that functions as the first and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin.
   
  
 0.834
Vmat
Vesicular monoamine transporter (Vmat) encodes a protein responsible for packaging the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and octopamine into secretory vesicles.
      
 0.809
Tdc1
Tyrosine decarboxylase 1 (Tdc1) encodes a protein involved in behavioral response to ethanol.
      
 0.716
Octbeta3R
Octopamine receptor beta-3R; Autoreceptor for octopamine, which is a neurotransmitter, neurohormone, and neuromodulator in invertebrates (By similarity). Probably also acts as a receptor for tyramine during ecdysone biosynthesis. Required for the biosynthesis of the steroid hormone ecdysone which is necessary for metamorphosis. Involved in activation of prothoracicotropic hormone and insulin-like peptide signaling which is required for the expression of ecdysone biosynthetic genes. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
      
 0.691
Octbeta1R
Octopamine receptor beta-1R; Autoreceptor for octopamine, which is a neurotransmitter, neurohormone, and neuromodulator in invertebrates. Negatively regulates synaptic growth by activating the inhibitory G protein Galphao and limiting cAMP production. Antagonizes the action of Octbeta2R which stimulates synaptic growth.
