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

mrap2aMelanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2A; Inhibitor of melanocortin receptor 4 (mc4r), a receptor involved in energy homeostasis. Plays a role during larval development in the control of energy homeostasis and body weight regulation by decreasing ligand-sensitivity of mc4r and mc4r-mediated generation of cAMP, leading to stimulate growth during larval development. Acts by stabilizing an inactive conformation of mc4r during embryonic development, when all the energy consumed is obtained from the yolk sac, possibly to speed the rapid maturation to the mobile free-feeding juvenile sta [...] (217 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
mc2r
Melanocortin 2 receptor.
    
 
 0.910
mc5rb
Melanocortin 5b receptor.
    
 
 0.888
mc5ra
Melanocortin 5a receptor.
    
 
 0.866
mc4r
Melanocortin receptor 4; Receptor specific to the heptapeptide core common to adrenocorticotropic hormone and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-MSH. Plays a central role in energy homeostasis and somatic growth. This receptor is mediated by G proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase (cAMP).
    
 
 0.862
mc3r
Melanocortin 3 receptor.
    
 
 0.753
pomca
Pro-opiomelanocortin protein.
      
 0.688
cyb5r4
Cytochrome b5 reductase 4; NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress response pathway; Belongs to the flavoprotein pyridine nucleotide cytochrome reductase family.
 
    
 0.622
mc1r
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor; Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
    
 
 0.607
agrp
Agouti-related neuropeptide.
      
 0.578
asip1
Agouti-signaling protein 1.
      
 0.470
