2 items (Homo sapiens) - STRING network view

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 Size

small nodes:
protein of unknown 3D structure

large nodes:
some 3D structure is known or predicted

Node Color

colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors

white nodes:
second shell of interactors

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 each other.

Known Interactions

from curated databases

experimentally determined

Predicted Interactions

gene neighborhood

gene fusions

gene co-occurrence

Others

textmining

co-expression

protein homology

Your Input:
	EIF2C2	eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, 2; Required for RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The ’minimal RISC’ appears to include EIF2C2/AGO2 bound to a short guide RNA such as a microRNA (miRNA) or short interfering RNA (siRNA). These guide RNAs direct RISC to complementary mRNAs that are targets for RISC- mediated gene silencing. The precise mechanism of gene silencing depends on the degree of complementarity between the miRNA or siRNA and its target. Binding of RISC to a perfectly complementary mRNA generally results in silencing due [...] (859 aa)
	OTOP2	otopetrin 2 (562 aa)
