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

Spink4Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 4. (86 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Reg4
Regenerating islet-derived protein 4; Calcium-independent lectin displaying mannose-binding specificity and able to maintain carbohydrate recognition activity in an acidic environment. May be involved in inflammatory and metaplastic responses of the gastrointestinal epithelium (By similarity).
   
  
 0.700
Tff3
Trefoil factor 3; Involved in the maintenance and repair of the intestinal mucosa. Promotes the mobility of epithelial cells in healing processes (motogen).
   
  
 0.632
Spink11
Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 11; Probable serine protease inhibitor.
      
 0.603
Agr2
Anterior gradient protein 2 homolog; Required for MUC2 post-transcriptional synthesis and secretion. May play a role in the production of mucus by intestinal cells. Proto-oncogene that may play a role in cell migration, cell differentiation and cell growth (By similarity). Promotes cell adhesion (By similarity); Belongs to the AGR family.
   
  
 0.582
Spdef
SAM pointed domain-containing Ets transcription factor; May function as an androgen-independent transactivator of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) promoter. Binds to 5'-GGAT-3' DNA sequences. May play a role in the regulation of the prostate gland and/or prostate cancer development. Acts as a transcriptional activator for SERPINB5 promoter (By similarity); Belongs to the ETS family.
   
  
 0.556
Spink13
Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 13; May be a serine protease inhibitor (By similarity). Essential for sperm maturation and fertility. Inhibits sperm acrosome reaction, protecting sperm from premature reaction (By similarity).
      
 0.553
Spink14
Serine peptidase inhibitor, Kazal type 14.
      
 0.520
Clca3a1
Calcium-activated chloride channel regulator 3A-1; Plays a role in modulating chloride current across the plasma membrane in a calcium-dependent manner.
   
  
 0.518
Clca1
Calcium-activated chloride channel regulator 1; May be involved in mediating calcium-activated chloride conductance. May play critical roles in goblet cell metaplasia, mucus hypersecretion, cystic fibrosis and AHR. May be involved in the regulation of mucus production and/or secretion by goblet cells. Involved in the regulation of tissue inflammation in the innate immune response. May play a role as a tumor suppressor. Induces MUC5AC. Belongs to the CLCR family.
   
  
 0.517
Lypd8
Ly6/PLAUR domain-containing protein 8; Secreted protein specifically required to prevent invasion of Gram-negative bacteria in the inner mucus layer of the colon epithelium, a portion of the large intestine which is free of commensal microbiota. Prevents invasion of flagellated microbiota by binding to the flagellum of bacteria, such as P.mirabilis, thereby inhibiting bacterial motility in the intestinal lumen. Segregation of intestinal bacteria and epithelial cells in the colon is required to preserve intestinal homeostasis; Belongs to the CNF-like-inhibitor family.
