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

Cad88CCadherin 88C (Cad88C) encodes a member of the cadherin superfamily of transmembrane proteins, which mediate cell-cell adhesion and/or cell-cell communication. (1981 aa)
fz2Frizzled-2; Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most of frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes. A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as PKC seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of GSK-3 kinase. Both pathways seem to i [...] (806 aa)
p120ctnAdherens junction protein p120 (p120ctn) encodes an important modulator of cell adhesion. It binds to and stabilizes classic cadherin cell adhesion receptors at the cell surface. Unlike its mammalian homologs, it is non-essential but becomes essential if the levels of the product of shg are reduced. (781 aa)
Cad99CCadherin-99C; Cadherin that functions in epithelial morphogenesis and the intestine epithelial immune response. Essential for female fertility. Regulates the length and organization of apical microvilli in developing follicle cells and salivary glands. Function in the follicle cell is essential for egg development as the microvilli secrete eggshell material such as the vitelline membrane. Acts at least in part by regulating the recruitment of the myosin ck to the follicle cell microvilli. Also required to regulate cell rearrangements during salivary tube elongation, possibly by modulat [...] (1706 aa)
dshSegment polarity protein dishevelled; Required to establish coherent arrays of polarized cells and segments in embryos. Plays a role in wingless (wg) signaling, possibly through the reception of the wg signal by target cells and subsequent redistribution of arm protein in response to that signal in embryos. This signal seems to be required to establish planar cell polarity and identity. (623 aa)
shgDE-cadherin; Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. In connecting cells they preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. During oogenesis, integral component of the guidance mechanisms that regulate the directional persistent collective migration of the border cell (BC) cluster through the nurse cells to the oocyte. Functions downstream of the two chemoattractant receptors, Pvr and Egfr, to promote BC adhesion between the leader cells of the migrating cluster and the surroundi [...] (1507 aa)
