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

TectbBeta-tectorin; One of the major non-collagenous components of the tectorial membrane (By similarity). The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that covers the neuroepithelium of the cochlea and contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia and leads to fluctuations in hair- cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. (329 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ceacam16
Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 16; Required for proper hearing, plays a role in maintaining the integrity of the tectorial membrane; Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CEA family.
      
 0.883
Otog
Otogelin; Glycoprotein specific to acellular membranes of the inner ear. May be required for the anchoring of the otoconial membranes and cupulae to the underlying neuroepithelia in the vestibule. May be involved in the organization and/or stabilization of the fibrillar network that compose the tectorial membrane in the cochlea. May play a role in mechanotransduction processes.
   
  
 0.870
Otogl
Otogelin-like protein.
   
  
 0.757
Strc
Stereocilin; Essential to the formation of horizontal top connectors between outer hair cell stereocilia.
   
  
 0.701
Otol1
Otolin-1; Collagen-like protein specifically expressed in the inner ear, which provides an organic scaffold for otoconia, a calcium carbonate structure in the saccule and utricle of the ear. Acts as a scaffold for biomineralization: sequesters calcium and forms interconnecting fibrils between otoconia that are incorporated into the calcium crystal structure. Together with OC90, modulates calcite crystal morphology and growth kinetics ; Belongs to the OTOL1 family.
   
  
 0.688
Zan
Zonadhesin; Binds in a species-specific manner to the zona pellucida of the egg. May be involved in gamete recognition and/or signaling.
   
  
 0.681
Bricd5
BRICHOS domain containing 5.
      
 0.667
Otoa
Otoancorin; May act as an adhesion molecule. Belongs to the stereocilin family.
   
  
 0.631
Coch
Cochlin; Plays a role in the control of cell shape and motility in the trabecular meshwork.
      
 0.629
Ttc8
Tetratricopeptide repeat protein 8; The BBSome complex is thought to function as a coat complex required for sorting of specific membrane proteins to the primary cilia. The BBSome complex is required for ciliogenesis but is dispensable for centriolar satellite function. This ciliogenic function is mediated in part by the Rab8 GDP/GTP exchange factor, which localizes to the basal body and contacts the BBSome. Rab8(GTP) enters the primary cilium and promotes extension of the ciliary membrane. Firstly the BBSome associates with the ciliary membrane and binds to RAB3IP/Rabin8, the guanosyl [...]
