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:
VSX2Visual system homeobox 2; Acts as a transcriptional regulator (By similarity). Plays a significant role in the specification and morphogenesis of the sensory retina (By similarity).

Binds double-stranded target DNA, irrespective of the cytosine methylation status (By similarity). Regulates the transcription of numerous target genes, and thereby plays an important role in regulating the response to growth factors, DNA damage, and ischemia. Plays a role in the regulation of cell survival, proliferation and cell death. Mediates responses to ischemia and hypoxia; regulates the express [...] (510 aa)
INSInsulin A chain; Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver. (107 aa)
NOTCH1Uncharacterized protein. (2561 aa)
FGF2Fibroblast growth factor 2; Acts as a ligand for FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. Also acts as an integrin ligand which is required for FGF2 signaling. Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, cell differentiation and cell migration. Functions as a potent mitogen in vitro. Can induce angiogenesis; Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family. (158 aa)
POU4F1POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 1; Multifunctional transcription factor with different regions mediating its different effects. Acts by binding (via its C-terminal domain) to sequences related to the consensus octamer motif 5'- ATGCAAAT-3' in the regulatory regions of its target genes. Regulates the expression of specific genes involved in differentiation and survival within a subset of neuronal lineages. It has been shown that activation of some of these genes requires its N-terminal domain, maybe through a neuronal-specific cofactor; Belongs to the POU transcription factor [...] (389 aa)
SOX9Transcription factor SOX-9; Transcription factor that selectively activates enhancer through its interaction with a DNA-binding partner factor. Activates enhancer of COL2A1 through its binding with DNA sequence 5'-ATTCAT-3'. In response to bone morphogenetic protein stimulus, phosphorylation is induced and then sumoylation, allowing cooperation with SNAI2 to trigger neural crest delamination. Functions at the level of mesenchymal cell condensation by inducing cartilage development in limbs and by changing the aggregation properties of limb mesenchymal cells. Regulates the cell fate dec [...] (494 aa)
ISL1Insulin gene enhancer protein ISL-1; Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Recognizes and binds to the consensus octamer binding site 5'-ATAATTAA- 3' in promoter of target genes. Plays a fundamental role in the gene regulatory network essential for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) differentiation. Binds to insulin gene enhancer sequences (By similarity). Defines subclasses of motoneurons that segregate into columns in the spinal cord and select distinct axon pathways. Acts in conjunction with LHX1, LHX3 and ISL2. Binds to insulin gene enhancer sequences (By similarity). Essential for heart d [...] (349 aa)
ALBSerum albumin; Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood; Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family. (565 aa)
SOX2Transcription factor SOX-2; Transcriptional activator. Binds to the consensus DNA sequence 5'-TCATTGTTGTTG-3'. In cooperation with other transcription factors, binds to the promoter sequence of the crystallin gene to activate transcription in the lens. Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal (By similarity). Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation. May function as a switch in neuronal development. (312 aa)
PIK3C3Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3. (944 aa)
PAX6Paired box protein Pax-6; May be a transcription factor with important functions in eye and nasal development. (500 aa)
CASP3Caspase-3; Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. (283 aa)
GLULGlutamine synthetase; Glutamine synthetase that catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of glutamate and ammonia to glutamine. When expressed in liver, it may be involved in detoxifying intramitochondrially generated ammonia. Also acts as glutamate decarboxylase by catalyzing the production of 4- aminobutanoate (gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA) in a pyridoxal phosphate-independent manner. (413 aa)
GSLGlutamine synthetase. (434 aa)
PCNAProliferating cell nuclear antigen; This protein is an auxiliary protein of DNA polymerase delta and is involved in the control of eukaryotic DNA replication by increasing the polymerase's processibility during elongation of the leading strand; Belongs to the PCNA family. (262 aa)
SIX3Homeobox protein SIX3; Transcriptional regulator which can act as both a transcriptional repressor and activator by binding a ATTA homeodomain core recognition sequence on these target genes. During forebrain development represses WNT1 expression allowing zona limitans intrathalamica formation and thereby ensuring proper anterio-posterior patterning of the diencephalon and formation of the rostral diencephalon. Acts as a direct upstream activator of SHH expression in the rostral diencephalon ventral midline and that in turn SHH maintains its expression. In addition, Six3 activity is re [...] (314 aa)
