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

ScxBasic helix-loop-helix transcription factor scleraxis; Plays an early essential role in mesoderm formation, as well as a later role in formation of somite-derived chondrogenic lineages. (207 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Tnmd
Tenomodulin; May be an angiogenesis inhibitor; Belongs to the chondromodulin-1 family.
   
  
 0.904
Mkx
Homeobox protein Mohawk; May act as a morphogenetic regulator of cell adhesion. Participates in the early events that lead to differentiation.
   
  
 0.847
Fmod
Fibromodulin; Affects the rate of fibrils formation. May have a primary role in collagen fibrillogenesis.
   
  
 0.716
Sox9
Transcription factor SOX-9; Transcriptional regulator that plays a role in chondrocytes differentiation and skeletal development. Binds to the COL2A1 promoter and activates COL2A1 expression, as part of a complex with ZNF219.
   
 
 0.715
Dcn
Decorin; May affect the rate of fibrils formation; Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class I subfamily.
   
  
 0.693
Gdf5
Growth/differentiation factor 5; Growth factor involved in bone and cartilage formation. During cartilage development regulates differentiation of chondrogenic tissue through two pathways. Firstly, positively regulates differentiation of chondrogenic tissue through its binding of high affinity with BMPR1B and of less affinity with BMPR1A, leading to induction of SMAD1-SMAD5-SMAD8 complex phosphorylation and then SMAD protein signaling transduction (By similarity). Secondly, negatively regulates chondrogenic differentiation through its interaction with NOG (By similarity). Required to p [...]
   
  
 0.681
Gdf7
Growth/differentiation factor 7.
   
  
 0.679
Col1a1
Collagen alpha-1(I) chain; Type I collagen is a member of group I collagen (fibrillar forming collagen); Belongs to the fibrillar collagen family.
   
  
 0.673
Acan
Aggrecan core protein; This proteoglycan is a major component of extracellular matrix of cartilagenous tissues. A major function of this protein is to resist compression in cartilage. It binds avidly to hyaluronic acid via an N-terminal globular region. May play a regulatory role in the matrix assembly of the cartilage.
   
  
 0.666
Bgn
Biglycan; May be involved in collagen fiber assembly; Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class I subfamily.
   
  
 0.652
