STRINGSTRING
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

B4galnt1Beta-1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1; Involved in the biosynthesis of gangliosides GM2, GD2 and GA2; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. (533 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
St8sia1
Alpha-N-acetylneuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase; Involved in the production of gangliosides GD3 and GT3 from GM3; gangliosides are a subfamily of complex glycosphinglolipds that contain one or more residues of sialic acid.
     
 0.981
St3gal5
Lactosylceramide alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of ganglioside GM3 (alpha-N- acetylneuraminyl-2,3-beta-D-galactosyl-1, 4-beta-D-glucosylceramide), which is a precursor for most of the complex ganglioside species.
     
 0.981
B3galt4
Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 4; Involved in GM1/GD1B/GA1 ganglioside biosynthesis. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 31 family.
   
 
 0.973
St8sia5
Alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 8E; May be involved in the synthesis of gangliosides GD1c, GT1a, GQ1b and GT3 from GD1a, GT1b, GM1b and GD3 respectively.
     
 0.958
Glb1
Beta-galactosidase; Cleaves beta-linked terminal galactosyl residues from gangliosides, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans. Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 35 family.
   
 
 0.920
B4galt6
Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6; Catalyzes the synthesis of lactosylceramide (LacCer) via the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to glucosylceramide (GlcCer). LacCer is the starting point in the biosynthesis of all gangliosides (membrane-bound glycosphingolipids) which play pivotal roles in the CNS including neuronal maturation and axonal and myelin formation.
     
 0.920
Slc33a1
Acetyl-coenzyme A transporter 1; Probable acetyl-CoA transporter necessary for O-acetylation of gangliosides. Negatively regulates BMP signaling (By similarity); Belongs to the SLC33A transporter family.
     
 0.909
Hexa
Beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha; Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines, in the brain and other tissues.
   
 
  0.901
Hexb
Beta-hexosaminidase subunit beta; Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines, in the brain and other tissues.
     
  0.900
Cyb5d2
Neuferricin; Heme-binding protein which promotes neuronal but not astrocyte differentiation.
      
 0.840
