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

Slc27a5Bile acyl-CoA synthetase; Acyl-CoA synthetase that catalyzes the activation of bile acids via formation of bile acid CoA thioesters which is necessary for their subsequent conjugation with glycine or taurine. Catalyzes the activation of the primary bile acid, cholic acid. Both primary bile acid (chenodeoxycholic acid) and secondary bile acids (deoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid) are the principal substrates (By similarity). Also exhibits acyl CoA synthetase activity that activates very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) by catalyzing the formation of fatty acyl-CoA (By similarity). In [...] (689 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Baat
Bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase; Catalyzes the amidation of bile acids (BAs) with the amino acid taurine. Selective for taurine conjugation of cholyl CoA and only taurine-conjugated BAs are found in bile. Amidation of BAs in the liver with taurine prior to their excretion into bile is an important biochemical event in bile acid metabolism (By similarity). This conjugation (or amidation) plays several important biological roles in that it promotes the secretion of BAs and cholesterol into bile and increases the detergent properties of BAs in the intestine, which facilitates l [...]

Cyp27a1
Sterol 26-hydroxylase, mitochondrial; Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase that catalyzes regio- and stereospecific hydroxylation of cholesterol and its derivatives. Hydroxylates (with R stereochemistry) the terminal methyl group of cholesterol side-chain in a three step reaction to yield at first a C26 alcohol, then a C26 aldehyde and finally a C26 acid. Regulates cholesterol homeostasis by catalyzing the conversion of excess cholesterol to bile acids via both the 'neutral' (classic) and the 'acid' (alternative) pathways. May also regulate cholesterol homeostasis via generation of active oxy [...]

Acnat2
Acyl-coenzyme A amino acid N-acyltransferase 2; Acyltransferase which efficiently conjugates very long-chain and long-chain fatty acids to taurine. Shows no conjugation activity in the presence of glycine (By similarity).
   
 
 0.964
Acnat1
Acyl-coenzyme A amino acid N-acyltransferase 1; Acyltransferase which efficiently conjugates very long-chain and long-chain fatty acids to taurine. Shows no conjugation activity in the presence of glycine.

Scp2
Non-specific lipid-transfer protein; Mediates in vitro the transfer of all common phospholipids, cholesterol and gangliosides between membranes. May play a role in regulating steroidogenesis.
   
 
 0.960
Amacr
Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase; Catalyzes the interconversion of (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers of alpha-methyl-branched-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters (By similarity). Acts only on coenzyme A thioesters, not on free fatty acids, and accepts as substrates a wide range of alpha-methylacyl-CoAs, including pristanoyl-CoA, trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA (an intermediate in bile acid synthesis), and arylpropionic acids like the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid) but neither 3- methyl-branched nor linear-chain acyl-CoAs (By similarity). Belongs to the CoA-transferase I [...]

Acot8
Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 8; Acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) thioesterases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to the free fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH), providing the potential to regulate intracellular levels of acyl-CoAs, free fatty acids and CoASH. Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 8/ACOT8 display no strong substrate specificity with respect to the carboxylic acid moiety of Acyl-CoAs. Hydrolyzes medium length (C2 to C20) straight-chain, saturated and unsaturated acyl-CoAS but is inactive towards substrates with longer aliphatic chains. Moreover, it catalyz [...]

Abcb11
Bile salt export pump; Catalyzes the secretion of conjugated bile salts across the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes in an ATP-dependent manner. Transports taurine-conjugated bile salts more rapidly than glycine- conjugated bile salts.
   
  
 0.869
Acox2
Peroxisomal acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 2; Oxidizes the CoA esters of the bile acid intermediates di- and tri-hydroxycoprostanic acids (By similarity). Capable of oxidizing short as well as long chain 2-methyl branched fatty acids (By similarity).
   
 
 0.822
Slco1b2
Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B2; Mediates the Na(+)-independent uptake of organic anions such as taurochlate, bromosulfophthalein and steroid conjugates such as estrone-3-sulfate, 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and prostaglandin E2; Belongs to the organo anion transporter (TC 2.A.60) family.
