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

rdhBRetinol dehydrogenase B (rdhB) encodes a retinol dehydrogenase involved in rhodopsin biosynthesis. (248 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ninaB
Carotenoid isomerooxygenase; Catalyzes the oxidative cleavage at the 15,15'-double bond of carotenoids and the simultaneous all-trans to 11-cis isomerization of one cleavage product. Carotenoids like 11-cis retinal can promote visual pigment biogenesis in the dark. Essential for the biosynthesis of the 3-hydroxyretinal chromophore of rhodopsin from zeaxanthin and for proper photoreceptor development. Also essential for larval light perception.
   
  
 0.735
Ilp2
Probable 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.
   
   0.703
CG31200
GH12395p; It is involved in the biological process described with: proteolysis.
   
   0.701
CG11656
GH08448p.
    
   0.692
ninaE
Opsin Rh1; Neither inactivation nor afterpotential E (ninaE) encodes a protein that plays a major role in light detection and vision. It is the rhodopsin expressed in the largest class of photoreceptors in the adult retina. The stimulation by light of the product of ninaE induces G-protein signaling activation, the opening of the channels encoded by trp and trpl and photoreceptor cell membrane depolarization.
   
  
 0.680
Hmgs
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase; This enzyme condenses acetyl-CoA with acetoacetyl-CoA to form HMG-CoA, which is the substrate for HMG-CoA reductase.
  
  
 0.668
CarT
Carcinine transporter (CarT) encodes a transporter belonging to the SLC22A transporter family that is involved in the photoreceptor histamine-carcinine cycle. Histamine neurotransmitter is released by photoreceptors and cleared by uptake into glia, where it is converted to carcinine. The product of CarT transports carcinine back to photoreceptors, where it is hydrolysed by the product of t to restore the pool of histamine; Belongs to the major facilitator (TC 2.A.1) superfamily. Organic cation transporter (TC 2.A.1.19) family.
   
 
 0.614
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.
    
   0.610
Tsp
Thrombospondin, isoform A; Thrombospondin (Tsp) is expressed in embryonic tendons and is regulated by sr. The product of Tsp serves as a ligand for the integrin subunit encoded by if and is required for muscle adhesion to tendons.
    
 
 0.562
CG9427
GH19763p; Oxidoreductase activity.
   
  
 0.550
