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

POMCProopiomelanocortin. (258 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
MC2R
Melanocortin 2 receptor.
    
 0.999
MC1R
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor; Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta) and ACTH. Does not seem to be active with gamma-MSH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Could be involved in spermatogenesis (By similarity).
    
 0.999
LEP
Leptin; Key player in the regulation of energy balance and body weight control. Once released into the circulation, has central and peripheral effects by binding LEPR, found in many tissues, which results in the activation of several major signaling pathways (By similarity). In the hypothalamus, acts as an appetite-regulating factor that induces a decrease in food intake and an increase in energy consumption by inducing anorexinogenic factors and suppressing orexigenic neuropeptides, also regulates bone mass and secretion of hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal hormones. In the periphery, inc [...]
      
 0.999
MC4R
Melanocortin 4 receptor.
    
 0.998
OPRM1
Opioid receptor mu 1; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
    
 0.995
MC3R
Melanocortin 3 receptor.
    
 0.991
MC5R
Melanocortin 5 receptor.
    
 0.988
NPY
Neuropeptide Y; Belongs to the NPY family.
   
 
 0.987
PENK
Proenkephalin-A; Met- and Leu-enkephalins compete with and mimic the effects of opiate drugs. They play a role in a number of physiologic functions, including pain perception and responses to stress.
     
 0.975
OPRK1
Opioid receptor kappa 1; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
   
 0.973
