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

GUCY2DRetinal guanylyl cyclase 1; Catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in rods and cones of photoreceptors. Plays an essential role in phototransduction, by mediating cGMP replenishment. May also participate in the trafficking of membrane-asociated proteins to the photoreceptor outer segment membrane (By similarity). (1110 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
GUCA1A
Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 1; Stimulates retinal guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is low and inhibits guanylyl cyclase when free calcium ions concentration is elevated. This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of retinal guanylyl cyclase is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure. May be involved in cone photoreceptor light response and recovery of response in bright light (By similarity).
   
 0.991
GUCA1B
Guanylyl cyclase-activating protein 2; Stimulates two retinal guanylyl cyclases (GCs) GUCY2D and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is low, and inhibits GUCY2D and GUCY2F when free calcium ions concentration is elevated. This Ca(2+)-sensitive regulation of GCs is a key event in recovery of the dark state of rod photoreceptors following light exposure. May be involved in cone photoreceptor response and recovery of response in bright light (By similarity).
   
 
 0.987
PRPH2
Peripherin-2; Essential for retina photoreceptor outer segment disk morphogenesis, may also play a role with ROM1 in the maintenance of outer segment disk structure. Required for the maintenance of retinal outer nuclear layer thickness (By similarity). Required for the correct development and organization of the photoreceptor inner segment (By similarity). Belongs to the PRPH2/ROM1 family.
   
  
 0.972
NCALD
Neurocalcin-delta; May be involved in the calcium-dependent regulation of rhodopsin phosphorylation. Binds three calcium ions.
   
 
 0.966
OPTC
Opticin; Inhibits angiogenesis in the vitreous humor of the eye, and therefore represses neovascularization (By similarity). Binds collagen fibrils. May be involved in collagen fiber organization via regulation of other members of the small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan superfamily (By similarity). Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class III subfamily.
   
 
 0.956
NPY2R
Neuropeptide Y receptor type 2; Receptor for neuropeptide Y and peptide YY; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
   
  
 0.921
KRT6B
IF rod domain-containing protein; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
   
 
 0.919
BPIFA2A
Short palate, lung and nasal epithelium carcinoma-associated protein 2A; Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. Plunc family.
   
    0.917
AMELX
Amelogenin, X isoform; Plays a role in the biomineralization of teeth. Seems to regulate the formation of crystallites during the secretory stage of tooth enamel development. Thought to play a major role in the structural organization and mineralization of developing enamel.
   
    0.917
GHRH
Somatoliberin; GRF is released by the hypothalamus and acts on the adenohypophyse to stimulate the secretion of growth hormone; Belongs to the glucagon family.
