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

St3gal5Lactosylceramide alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of ganglioside GM3 (alpha-N- acetylneuraminyl-2,3-beta-D-galactosyl-1, 4-beta-D-glucosylceramide). (387 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
St8sia1
ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 1; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 29 family.
     
 0.987
B4galnt1
Beta-1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1; Involved in the biosynthesis of gangliosides GM2, GD2 and asialo-GM2; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family.
   
 0.964
Hexa
Beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha; Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines, in the brain and other tissues.
   
 
 0.935
Glb1
Beta-galactosidase.
   
 
 0.852
Ugcg
Ceramide glucosyltransferase; Catalyzes at the cytosolic surface of the Golgi, the initial step of the glucosylceramide-based glycosphingolipid/GSL synthetic pathway, the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to ceramide to produce glucosylceramide/GlcCer. Glucosylceramide is the core component of glycosphingolipids/GSLs, amphipathic molecules consisting of a ceramide lipid moiety embedded in the outer leaflet of the membrane, linked to one of hundreds of different externally oriented oligosaccharide structures. Glycosphingolipids are essential components of membrane microdomains that m [...]

B4galt6
Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6; Catalyzes the synthesis of lactosylceramide (LacCer) via the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to glucosylceramide (GlcCer). LacCer is the starting point in the biosynthesis of all gangliosides (membrane-bound glycosphingolipids) which play pivotal roles in the CNS including neuronal maturation and axonal and myelin formation (By similarity).
   
  
 0.692
B3galt4
Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 4; Involved in GM1/GD1B/GA1 ganglioside biosynthesis. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 31 family.
   
  
 0.632
Cyb5d2
Neuferricin; Heme-binding protein which promotes neuronal but not astrocyte differentiation; Belongs to the cytochrome b5 family. MAPR subfamily.
      
 0.613
B4galt5
Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 5.
      
 0.600
St8sia6
ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 6; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 29 family.
