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

PctpPhosphatidylcholine transfer protein; Catalyzes the transfer of phosphatidylcholine between membranes. Binds a single lipid molecule. (214 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Acot13
Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 13; Acyl-CoA thioesterases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to the free fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH), providing the potential to regulate intracellular levels of acyl-CoAs, free fatty acids and CoASH. Has acyl-CoA thioesterase activity towards medium (C12) and long-chain (C18) fatty acyl-CoA substrates. Can also hydrolyze 3-hydroxyphenylacetyl-CoA (in vitro). May play a role in controlling adaptive thermogenesis.

Stard3
StAR-related lipid transfer protein 3; Sterol-binding protein that mediates cholesterol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to endosomes (By similarity). Creates contact site between the endoplasmic reticulum and late endosomes: localizes to late endosome membranes and contacts the endoplasmic reticulum via interaction with VAPA and VAPB (By similarity). Acts as a lipid transfer protein that redirects sterol to the endosome at the expense of the cell membrane and favors membrane formation inside endosomes (By similarity). May also mediate cholesterol transport between other membra [...]

Stard4
StAR-related lipid transfer protein 4; Involved in the intracellular transport of cholesterol. Binds cholesterol or other sterols.
   
  
 0.818
Stard5
StAR-related lipid transfer protein 5; May be involved in the intracellular transport of sterols or other lipids. May bind cholesterol or other sterols.
   
  
 0.759
Stard6
StAR-related lipid transfer protein 6; May be involved in the intracellular transport of sterols or other lipids. May bind cholesterol or other sterols (By similarity).
   
  
 0.739
Star
Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial; Plays a key role in steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the metabolism of cholesterol into pregnenolone. Transporter that binds to and transport cholesterol through the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion.
   
  
 0.679
Pax3
Paired box protein Pax-3; Transcription factor that may regulate cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis. Involved in neural development and myogenesis. Transcriptional activator of MITF, acting synergistically with SOX10 (By similarity); Belongs to the paired homeobox family.
   
 
 0.651
Stard8
StAR-related lipid transfer protein 8; Accelerates GTPase activity of RHOA and CDC42, but not RAC1. Stimulates the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate by PLCD1 (By similarity).
   
  
 0.562
Scp2
Non-specific lipid-transfer protein; Mediates in vitro the transfer of all common phospholipids, cholesterol and gangliosides between membranes. May play a role in regulating steroidogenesis.
   
  
 0.553
Stard9
StAR-related lipid transfer protein 9; Microtubule-dependent motor protein required for spindle pole assembly during mitosis. Required to stabilize the pericentriolar material (PCM) (By similarity).
