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

MC1RMelanocyte-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 (By similarity). (317 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
POMC
Uncharacterized protein.
    
 0.949
ASIP
Agouti-signaling protein; Involved in the regulation of melanogenesis. The binding of ASP to MC1R precludes alpha-MSH initiated signaling and thus blocks production of cAMP, leading to a down-regulation of eumelanogenesis (brown/black pigment) and thus increasing synthesis of pheomelanin (yellow/red pigment) (By similarity).
      
 0.939
TYR
Tyrosinase.
    
 0.786
OCA2
OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein.
      
 0.742
MITF
Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor isoform 1.
   
 
 0.742
TYRP1
Tyrosinase related protein 1.
    
 0.715
SLC45A2
Solute carrier family 45 member 2.
   
  
 0.693
SLC24A5
Solute carrier family 24 member 5; Belongs to the Ca(2+):cation antiporter (CaCA) (TC 2.A.19) family.
      
 0.666
ATRN
Attractin isoform 1 preproprotein.
      
 0.647
AGRP
Agouti related neuropeptide.
    
 
 0.575
