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

MgpMatrix Gla protein; Associates with the organic matrix of bone and cartilage. Thought to act as an inhibitor of bone formation. (104 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ahsg
Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein; Probably involved in differentiation; Belongs to the fetuin family.
   
  
 0.956
Spp1
Osteopontin; Binds tightly to hydroxyapatite. Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. Probably important to cell-matrix interaction; Belongs to the osteopontin family.
   
  
 0.897
Ggcx
Vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylase; Mediates the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation of glutamate residues to calcium-binding gamma-carboxyglutamate (Gla) residues with the concomitant conversion of the reduced hydroquinone form of vitamin K to vitamin K epoxide.
      
 0.883
Bmp2
Bone morphogenetic protein 2; Induces cartilage and bone formation. Stimulates the differentiation of myoblasts into osteoblasts via the EIF2AK3- EIF2A- ATF4 pathway. BMP2 activation of EIF2AK3 stimulates phosphorylation of EIF2A which leads to increased expression of ATF4 which plays a central role in osteoblast differentiation. In addition stimulates TMEM119, which upregulates the expression of ATF4. Belongs to the TGF-beta family.
   
 
 0.881
Bglap
Osteocalcin; Constitutes 1-2% of the total bone protein. It binds strongly to apatite and calcium; Belongs to the osteocalcin/matrix Gla protein family.
   
  
 0.867
Bglap2
Osteocalcin-2; Constitutes 1-2% of the total bone protein. It binds strongly to apatite and calcium; Belongs to the osteocalcin/matrix Gla protein family.
      
 0.867
Bglap3
Osteocalcin-related protein; Binds strongly to apatite and calcium. Belongs to the osteocalcin/matrix Gla protein family.
      
 0.866
Pros1
Vitamin K-dependent protein S; Anticoagulant plasma protein; it is a cofactor to activated protein C in the degradation of coagulation factors Va and VIIIa. It helps to prevent coagulation and stimulating fibrinolysis.
   
  
 0.784
Bmp4
Bone morphogenetic protein 4; Induces cartilage and bone formation. Acts in concert with PTHLH/PTHRP to stimulate ductal outgrowth during embryonic mammary development and to inhibit hair follicle induction.
   
 
 0.780
Ucma
Unique cartilage matrix-associated protein C-terminal fragment; May be involved in the negative control of osteogenic differentiation of osteochondrogenic precursor cells in peripheral zones of fetal cartilage and at the cartilage-bone interface. Belongs to the UCMA family.
