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

Prg2Eosinophil granule major basic protein; Cytotoxin and helminthotoxin. MBP also induces non-cytolytic histamine release from basophils. It is involved in antiparasitic defense mechanisms and immune hypersensitivity reactions (By similarity). (223 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Pappa
Pappalysin-1; Metalloproteinase which specifically cleaves IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5, resulting in release of bound IGF. Cleavage of IGFBP-4 is dramatically enhanced by the presence of IGF, whereas cleavage of IGFBP-5 is slightly inhibited by the presence of IGF. Isoform 2 cleaves IGFBP-4 very slowly compared to PAPP-A, but its ability to cleave IGFBP-5 is unaffected.

Epx
Eosinophil peroxidase heavy chain; Mediates tyrosine nitration of secondary granule proteins in mature resting eosinophils; Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily.
   
  
 0.878
Prg3
Proteoglycan 3; Possesses similar cytotoxic and cytostimulatory activities to PRG2/MBP.
  
  
0.781
Hspg2
Basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan core protein; Integral component of basement membranes. Component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), responsible for the fixed negative electrostatic membrane charge, and which provides a barrier which is both size- and charge-selective. It serves as an attachment substrate for cells. Plays essential roles in vascularization. Critical for normal heart development and for regulating the vascular response to injury. Also required for avascular cartilage development (By similarity). The LG3 peptide has anti-angiogenic propert [...]

Ear6
Eosinophil-associated, ribonuclease A family, member 6; Belongs to the pancreatic ribonuclease family.
   
  
 0.578
Ear1
Eosinophil cationic protein 1; Cytotoxin and helminthotoxin with ribonuclease activity. Possesses a wide variety of biological activities (By similarity). Belongs to the pancreatic ribonuclease family.
   
  
 0.534
Mpo
Myeloperoxidase heavy chain; Part of the host defense system of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It is responsible for microbicidal activity against a wide range of organisms. In the stimulated PMN, MPO catalyzes the production of hypohalous acids, primarily hypochlorous acid in physiologic situations, and other toxic intermediates that greatly enhance PMN microbicidal activity; Belongs to the peroxidase family. XPO subfamily.
   
  
 0.510
Pappa2
Pappalysin 2.
    
 
 0.472
Ctsg
Cathepsin G; This vimentin-specific protease may regulate the reorganization of vimentin filaments, occurring during cell differentiation, movement and mitosis.
   
 
 0.455
Elane
Neutrophil elastase; Medullasin modifies the functions of natural killer cells, monocytes and granulocytes. Inhibits C5a-dependent neutrophil enzyme release and chemotaxis (By similarity). Capable of killing E.coli; probably digests outer membrane protein A (ompA) in E.coli ; Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Elastase subfamily.
