"SLC45A2" - solute carrier family 45, member 2 in Homo sapiens
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 protein node
small nodes:
protein of unknown 3D structure
large protein node
large nodes:
some 3D structure is known or predicted
Node Color
colored protein node
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
non-colored protein node
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
database edge
from curated databases
experiment edge
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
neighborhood edge
gene neighborhood
fusion edge
gene fusions
cooccurrence edge
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining edge
textmining
coexpression edge
co-expression
homology edge
protein homology

SLC45A2solute carrier family 45, member 2; Melanocyte differentiation antigen. May transport substances required for melanin biosynthesis (By similarity) (530 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
MITF
microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (520 aa)
            score_image   0.878
SLC24A5
solute carrier family 24, member 5; Cation exchanger involved in pigmentation, possibly by participating in ion transport in melanosomes. Probably transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) in exchange for 4 Na(+) (500 aa)
            score_image   0.863
OCA2
oculocutaneous albinism II; Could be involved in the transport of tyrosine, the precursor to melanin synthesis, within the melanocyte. Regulates the pH of melanosome and the melanosome maturation. One of the components of the mammalian pigmentary system. Seems to regulate the post-translational processing of tyrosinase, which catalyzes the limiting reaction in melanin synthesis. May serve as a key control point at which ethnic skin color variation is determined. Major determinant of brown and/or blue eye color (838 aa)
            score_image   0.810
EDA2R
ectodysplasin A2 receptor; Receptor for EDA isoform A2, but not for EDA isoform A1. Mediates the activation of the NF-kappa-B and JNK pathways. Activation seems to be mediated by binding to TRAF3 and TRAF6 (318 aa)
            score_image   0.743
TYRP1
tyrosinase-related protein 1; Oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) into indole-5,6-quinone-2-carboxylic acid. May regulate or influence the type of melanin synthesized (537 aa)
            score_image   0.685
TYR
tyrosinase; This is a copper-containing oxidase that functions in the formation of pigments such as melanins and other polyphenolic compounds. Catalyzes the rate-limiting conversions of tyrosine to DOPA, DOPA to DOPA-quinone and possibly 5,6-dihydroxyindole to indole-5,6 quinone (529 aa)
            score_image   0.681
EDAR
ectodysplasin A receptor; Receptor for EDA isoform A1, but not for EDA isoform A2. Mediates the activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK. May promote caspase-independent cell death (448 aa)
            score_image   0.681
MC1R
melanocortin 1 receptor (alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone receptor) (317 aa)
            score_image   0.658
P2RX1
purinergic receptor P2X, ligand-gated ion channel, 1; Ligand-gated ion channel with relatively high calcium permeability. Binding to ATP mediates synaptic transmission between neurons and from neurons to smooth muscle. Seems to be linked to apoptosis, by increasing the intracellular concentration of calcium in the presence of ATP, leading to programmed cell death (By similarity) (399 aa)
            score_image   0.646
SLC24A4
solute carrier family 24 (sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger), member 4; Transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) in exchange for 4 Na(+) (622 aa)
            score_image   0.621
