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

Lcn4Vomeronasal secretory protein 2; Transport of lipophilic molecules, possible pheromone- carrier. (185 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Lcn11
Lipocalin 11; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
      
 0.723
Obp1b
Odorant-binding protein 1b; Binds the chemical odorant 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine.
      
 0.694
Obp1a
Odorant-binding protein 1a; Binds the chemical odorant 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine.
   
  
 0.681
Gm5938
Predicted gene 5938; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
      
 0.673
Gm14744
Predicted gene 14744; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
      
 0.670
Mup4
Major urinary protein 4; Binds pheromones, likely to displace pheromones complexed to urinary MUPs and transport them to the vomeronasal organ (VNO) where they associate with their neuronal receptor(s). MUP4 is highly specific for the male mouse pheromone 2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole (SBT).
      
 0.658
Lcn8
Epididymal-specific lipocalin-8; May play a role in male fertility. May act as a retinoid carrier protein within the epididymis.
   
  
 0.654
Bpifa6
BPI fold-containing family A, member 6.
   
  
 0.635
Mup2
Major urinary protein 2; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
      
 0.622
Mup8
Major urinary protein 5; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
      
 0.573
