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

Bpifa1BPI fold-containing family A member 1; Lipid-binding protein which shows high specificity for the surfactant phospholipid dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) (By similarity). Plays a role in the innate immune responses of the upper airways. Reduces the surface tension in secretions from airway epithelia and inhibits the formation of biofilm by pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, such as P.aeruginosa and K.pneumoniae. Negatively regulates proteolytic cleavage of SCNN1G, an event that is required for activation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), and thereby contributes to airway s [...] (278 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Bpifb1
BPI fold-containing family B member 1; May play a role in innate immunity in mouth, nose and lungs. Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and modulates the cellular responses to LPS. May be involved in formation of the left-right axis in the node of the developing embryo.

Scgb3a1
Secretoglobin family 3A member 1; Secreted cytokine-like protein. Inhibits cell growth in vitro.
   
  
 0.874
Scgb1a1
Uteroglobin; Binds phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and weakly progesterone, potent inhibitor of phospholipase A2; Belongs to the secretoglobin family.
   
  
 0.822
Bpifb4
BPI fold-containing family B member 4; May have the capacity to recognize and bind specific classes of odorants. May act as a carrier molecule, transporting odorants across the mucus layer to access receptor sites. May serve as a primary defense mechanism by recognizing and removing potentially harmful odorants or pathogenic microorganisms from the mucosa or clearing excess odorant from mucus to enable new odorant stimuli to be received (By similarity).

Scgb3a2
Secretoglobin family 3A member 2; Secreted cytokine-like protein (By similarity). Binds to the scavenger receptor MARCO (By similarity). Can also bind to pathogens including the Gram-positive bacterium L.monocytogenes, the Gram- negative bacterium P.aeruginosa, and yeast (By similarity). Strongly inhibits phospholipase A2 (PLA2G1B) activity. Seems to have anti-inflammatory effects in respiratory epithelium. Also has anti-fibrotic activity in lung. May play a role in fetal lung development and maturation. Promotes branching morphogenesis during early stages of lung development. In the p [...]

Ltf
Lactotransferrin; Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe(3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. The lactotransferrin transferrin-like domain 1 functions as a serine protease of the peptidase S60 family that cuts arginine rich regions. This function contributes to the antimicrobial activity. Shows a preferential cleavage at -Arg-Ser-Arg-Arg-|- and -Arg-Arg-Ser-Arg-|-, and of Z-Phe-Arg-|-aminomethylcoumarin sites.

Bpi
Bactericidal permeability-increasing protein; The cytotoxic action of BPI is limited to many species of Gram-negative bacteria; this specificity may be explained by a strong affinity of the very basic N-terminal half for the negatively charged lipopolysaccharides that are unique to the Gram-negative bacterial outer envelope; Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. BPI/LBP family.
