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

VmatVesicular monoamine transporter (Vmat) encodes a protein responsible for packaging the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and octopamine into secretory vesicles. (646 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
   
 
 0.906
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.
   
 
 0.896
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.
   
 
 0.868
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.
   
 
 0.852
SerT
Sodium-dependent serotonin transporter; Terminates the action of serotonin by its high affinity sodium-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals. Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family.
   
 
 0.851
VGlut
Vesicular glutamate transporter, isoform A.
   
  
 0.846
prt
Portabella (prt) encodes an orphan vesicular transporter expressed in a discrete number of cells in larvae and adults, including Kenyon cells of the mushroom bodies. prt depletion produces male mating behavior defects and a modest learning deficit.
  
 
0.843
Tbh
Tyramine 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.
      
 0.809
ple
Pale (ple) encodes a tyrosine hydroxylase, the first and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of dopamine (and eventually, melanin). Dopamine has critical roles in system development.
   
 
 0.796
nSyb
Neuronal synaptobrevin, isoform J; Neuronal Synaptobrevin (nSyb) encodes a SNAP receptor involved in vesicle fusion.
   
 
 0.762
