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

HexbBeta-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. (536 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
  
0.990
Glb1
Beta-galactosidase; Cleaves beta-linked terminal galactosyl residues from gangliosides, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans. Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 35 family.
  
 
 0.958
Naga
Alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase; Removes terminal alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine residues from glycolipids and glycopeptides. Required for the breakdown of glycolipids (By similarity); Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 27 family.
   
 
 0.948
Hexdc
Hexosaminidase D; Has hexosaminidase activity. Responsible for the cleavage of the monosaccharides N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from cellular substrates. Has a preference for galactosaminide over glucosaminide substrates (By similarity); Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 20 family.
     
 0.945
Gla
Alpha-galactosidase A.
   
 
 0.945
Gns
N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase; Belongs to the sulfatase family.
   
 
 0.931
Gm2a
Ganglioside GM2 activator; Binds gangliosides and stimulates ganglioside GM2 degradation. It stimulates only the breakdown of ganglioside GM2 and glycolipid GA2 by beta-hexosaminidase A. It extracts single GM2 molecules from membranes and presents them in soluble form to beta- hexosaminidase A for cleavage of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and conversion to GM3. The large binding pocket can accommodate several single chain phospholipids and fatty acids, GM2A also exhibits some calcium-independent phospholipase activity.
   
 0.914
B3galt4
Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 4; Involved in GM1/GD1B/GA1 ganglioside biosynthesis. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 31 family.
   
 
 0.913
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.
     
 0.912
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.
