(4 nodes) Cornification network (Mus musculus)

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

Your Input:
	Tmem79	Transmembrane protein 79; Contributes to the epidermal integrity and skin barrier function. Plays a role in the lamellar granule (LG) secretory system and in the stratum corneum (SC) epithelial cell formation. (391 aa)
	Casp14	Caspase-14 subunit p20, intermediate form; Non-apoptotic caspase which is involved in epidermal differentiation. Seems to play a role in keratinocyte differentiation and is required for cornification. Regulates maturation of the epidermis by proteolytically processing filaggrin. In vitro is equally active on the synthetic caspase substrates WEHD-ACF and IETD-AFC. Involved in processing of prosaposin in the epidermis. May be involved in retinal pigment epithelium cell barrier function (By similarity). Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. (257 aa)
	Cers3	Ceramide synthase 3; Ceramide synthase that catalyzes formation of ceramide from sphinganine and acyl-CoA substrates, with high selectivity toward very- long (C22:0-C24:0) and ultra long chain (more than C26:0) as acyl donor. It is crucial for the synthesis of ultra long-chain ceramides in the epidermis, to maintain epidermal lipid homeostasis and terminal. differentiation. (419 aa)
	Cyp26b1	Cytochrome P450 26B1; Involved in the metabolism of retinoic acid (RA), rendering this classical morphogen inactive through oxidation. Involved in the specific inactivation of all-trans-retinoic acid (all-trans-RA), with a preference for the following substrates: all-trans-RA > 9-cis-RA > 13- cis-RA. Generates several hydroxylated forms of RA, including 4-OH-RA, 4-oxo-RA, and 18-OH-RA. Essential for postnatal survival. Plays a central role in germ cell development: acts by degrading RA in the developing testis, preventing STRA8 expression, thereby leading to delay of meiosis. Required [...] (512 aa)
