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

Alox8Arachidonate 8S-lipoxygenase; Non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase that catalyzes the stereo-specific peroxidation of free and esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids generating a spectrum of bioactive lipid mediators. Catalyzes the peroxidation of arachidonate and linoleate into (8S)- HPETE and (9S)-HPODE respectively. From arachidonate mainly produces (8S)-HPETE and in addition, minor products derived from (8S)-HPETE itself that may include leukotriene A4 and 8,15-diHPETE. With arachidonate as substrate, has no detectable 15S-lipoxygenase activity and only displays a 8S-lipoxygenase a [...] (677 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ptgs1
Prostaglandin G/H synthase 1; Converts arachidonate to prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), a committed step in prostanoid synthesis. Involved in the constitutive production of prostanoids in particular in the stomach and platelets. In gastric epithelial cells, it is a key step in the generation of prostaglandins, such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which plays an important role in cytoprotection. In platelets, it is involved in the generation of thromboxane A2 (TXA2), which promotes platelet activation and aggregation, vasoconstriction and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells.

Ptgs2
Prostaglandin G/H synthase 2; Converts arachidonate to prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), a committed step in prostanoid synthesis. Constitutively expressed in some tissues in physiological conditions, such as the endothelium, kidney and brain, and in pathological conditions, such as in cancer. PTGS2 is responsible for production of inflammatory prostaglandins. Up-regulation of PTGS2 is also associated with increased cell adhesion, phenotypic changes, resistance to apoptosis and tumor angiogenesis. In cancer cells, PTGS2 is a key step in the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which plays imp [...]

Pla2g4a
Cytosolic phospholipase A2; Selectively hydrolyzes arachidonyl phospholipids in the sn-2 position releasing arachidonic acid. Together with its lysophospholipid activity, it is implicated in the initiation of the inflammatory response.
   
 
 0.935
Pla2g12b
Group XIIB secretory phospholipase A2-like protein; Not known; does not seem to have catalytic activity.
   
 0.926
Cyp4a10
Cytochrome P450 4A10; Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It oxidizes a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics.
   
 0.925
Gpx3
Glutathione peroxidase 3; Protects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione.
   
 
 0.923
Pla2g4e
Cytosolic phospholipase A2 epsilon; Calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 that selectively hydrolyzes glycerophospholipids in the sn-2 position.
   
 
 0.921
Pla2g4c
Cytosolic phospholipase A2 gamma; Has a preference for arachidonic acid at the sn-2 position of phosphatidylcholine as compared with palmitic acid.
     
 0.920
Gpx5
Epididymal secretory glutathione peroxidase; Protects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione. May constitute a glutathione peroxidase-like protective system against peroxide damage in sperm membrane lipids.
   
 
 0.920
Gpx6
Glutathione peroxidase 6; Belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family.
