STRING protein interaction network
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

CtnsCystinosin; Cystine/H(+) symporter thought to transport cystine out of lysosomes. Plays an important role in melanin synthesis, possibly by preventing melanosome acidification and subsequent degradation of tyrosinase TYR; Belongs to the cystinosin family. (367 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Pqlc2
Lysosomal amino acid transporter 1 homolog; Amino acid transporter that specifically mediates the pH- dependent export of the cationic amino acids arginine, histidine and lysine from lysosomes.
   
 
 0.873
Shpk
Sedoheptulokinase; Acts as a modulator of macrophage activation through control of glucose metabolism.
   
  
 0.718
Cln3
Battenin; Involved in microtubule-dependent, anterograde transport of late endosomes and lysosomes.
   
  
 0.656
Tpcn2
Two pore calcium channel protein 2; Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) receptor that may function as one of the major voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (VDCC) across the lysosomal membrane. Involved in smooth muscle contraction; Belongs to the calcium channel alpha-1 subunit (TC 1.A.1.11) family. Two pore calcium channel subfamily.
   
  
 0.633
Corin
Atrial natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme, activated protease fragment; Serine-type endopeptidase involved in atrial natriuretic peptide hormone (NPPA) processing. Converts through proteolytic cleavage the non-functional propeptide NPPA into the active hormone, thereby regulating blood pressure in heart and promoting natriuresis, diuresis and vasodilation. Proteolytic cleavage of pro-NPPA also plays a role in female pregnancy by promoting trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling in uterus. Also acts as a regulator of sodium reabsorption in kidney. May also process pro-NPPB [...]

Bnc2
Zinc finger protein basonuclin-2; Probable transcription factor specific for skin keratinocytes. May play a role in the differentiation of spermatozoa and oocytes.
      
 0.568
Hs1bp3
HCLS1-binding protein 3; May be a modulator of IL-2 signaling.
   
    0.567
Slc24a5
Sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 5; Cation exchanger involved in pigmentation, possibly by participating in ion transport in melanosomes. Predominant sodium- Calcium exchanger in melanocytes. Probably transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) to the melanosome in exchange for 4 cytoplasmic Na(+) (By similarity).
      
 0.567
Idua
Alpha-L-iduronidase.
   
  
 0.561
Btg3
Protein BTG3; Overexpression impairs serum-induced cell cycle progression from the G0/G1 to S phase; Belongs to the BTG family.
      
 0.545
