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

SftpcPulmonary surfactant-associated protein C; Pulmonary surfactant associated proteins promote alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the peripheral air spaces. (193 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Sftpb
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B; Pulmonary surfactant-associated proteins promote alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the peripheral air spaces. SP-B increases the collapse pressure of palmitic acid to nearly 70 millinewtons per meter.

Sftpa1
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A; In presence of calcium ions, it binds to surfactant phospholipids and contributes to lower the surface tension at the air- liquid interface in the alveoli of the mammalian lung and is essential for normal respiration. Enhances the expression of MYO18A/SP-R210 on alveolar macrophages ; Belongs to the SFTPA family.

Scgb1a1
Uteroglobin; Binds phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and weakly progesterone, potent inhibitor of phospholipase A2; Belongs to the secretoglobin family.
   
  
 0.970
Sftpd
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D; Contributes to the lung's defense against inhaled microorganisms, organic antigens and toxins. Interacts with compounds such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides and fatty acids and modulates leukocyte action in immune response. May participate in the extracellular reorganization or turnover of pulmonary surfactant. Binds strongly maltose residues and to a lesser extent other alpha- glucosyl moieties; Belongs to the SFTPD family.

Ager
Advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor; Mediates interactions of advanced glycosylation end products (AGE). These are nonenzymatically glycosylated proteins which accumulate in vascular tissue in aging and at an accelerated rate in diabetes. Acts as a mediator of both acute and chronic vascular inflammation in conditions such as atherosclerosis and in particular as a complication of diabetes. AGE/RAGE signaling plays an important role in regulating the production/expression of TNF-alpha, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. Interaction with S1 [...]

Scgb3a2
Secretoglobin family 3A member 2; Secreted cytokine-like protein (By similarity). Binds to the scavenger receptor MARCO (By similarity). Can also bind to pathogens including the Gram-positive bacterium L.monocytogenes, the Gram- negative bacterium P.aeruginosa, and yeast (By similarity). Strongly inhibits phospholipase A2 (PLA2G1B) activity. Seems to have anti-inflammatory effects in respiratory epithelium. Also has anti-fibrotic activity in lung. May play a role in fetal lung development and maturation. Promotes branching morphogenesis during early stages of lung development. In the p [...]

Napsa
Napsin-A; May be involved in processing of pneumocyte surfactant precursors.
   
 
 0.904
Aqp5
Aquaporin-5; Forms a water-specific channel (By similarity). Plays an important role in fluid secretion in salivary glands. Required for TRPV4 activation by hypotonicity. Together with TRPV4, controls regulatory volume decrease in salivary epithelial cells. Seems to play a redundant role in water transport in the eye, lung and in sweat glands. Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
   
  
 0.872
Adgrf5
Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor F5; Receptor that plays a critical role in lung surfactant homeostasis. May play a role in controlling adipocyte function.
   
 
 0.846
Ctsh
Cathepsin H heavy chain; Important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes; Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
