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

NPFNeuropeptide F; Integral part of the sensory system that mediates food signaling, providing the neural basis for the regulation of food response; coordinates larval foraging and social behavior changes during development. Required in dopaminergic (DA) neurons that innervate the mushroom body for satiety to suppress appetitive memory performance; a key factor in the internal state of hunger in the brain. NPF neurons coordinately modulate diverse sensory and motor neurons important for feeding, flight, and locomotion. NPF/NPFR pathway exerts its suppressive effect on larval aversion to d [...] (102 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
NPFR
Neuropeptide F receptor; Receptor for NPF. Integral part of the sensory system that mediates food signaling, providing the neural basis for the regulation of food response; coordinates larval foraging and social behavior changes during development. Required in dopaminergic (DA) neurons that innervate the mushroom body for satiety to suppress appetitive memory performance; a key factor in the internal state of hunger in the brain.

sNPF
Short neuropeptide F precursor (sNPF) encodes a protein that binds to the product of sNPF-R and activates ERK-Dilps signaling or the PKA-CREB pathway. Its roles include the regulation of cell and organism growth, carbohydrate metabolism, lifespan, feeding behavior, locomotion, circadian rhythm, and sleep.
   
  
 0.971
sNPF-R
Short neuropeptide F receptor (sNPF-R) encodes the G-protein-coupled receptor for the neuropeptide ligand encoded by sNPF, which utilizes the intracelluar ERK pathway or PKA-CREB pathway. It contributes to the regulation of growth, food intake, food-search behavior, appetitive memory, and sleep.
      
 0.947
Eps-15
Epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate clone 15 (Eps-15) encodes a multi-domain adaptor protein involved in endocytosis. It interacts with several other endocytic factors such as those encoded by shi, stnB, Dap160 and AP-2alpha. It is enriched at sites of endocytosis and is required for normal synaptic bouton development and vesicle endocytosis during high frequency stimulation.

Hug
Protein hugin; Probably has a role in larval molting; Belongs to the pyrokinin family.
   
  
 0.858
AstA
Allatostatin-A; May act as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator.
   
  
 0.844
AstC
Allatostatin C (AstC) encodes a myotropic factor involved in heart rate decrease.
   
  
 0.841
CCAP
Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) encodes a conserved 9 amino acid neuropeptide. It is produced by 1-2 neurons in each segment of the ventral nervous system and is released during the shedding of the old exoskeleton (ecdysis). It also has cardioactive functions.
   
  
 0.839
Akh
Adipokinetic hormone (Akh) encodes a peptide hormone secreted by the corpora cardiaca. It signals to the G-protein coupled receptor encoded by AkhR to regulate circulating hemolymph carbohydrates and stored lipid and glycogen in the fat body; Belongs to the AKH/HRTH/RPCH family.
      
 0.838
Lk
Leucokinin (Lk) encodes a neuropeptide that regulates water balance and food intake. Three groups of leucokinergic neurons are identified in the brain and abdominal ganglion of larvae and adults. Serotonin and insulin peptides have receptors in the abdominal leucokinergic neurons.
