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

Wfikkn2WAP, Kazal, immunoglobulin, Kunitz and NTR domain-containing protein 2; Protease-inhibitor that contains multiple distinct protease inhibitor domains. Probably has serine protease- and metalloprotease- inhibitor activity (By similarity). Inhibits the biological activity of mature myostatin, but not activin; Belongs to the WFIKKN family. (571 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Mstn
Growth/differentiation factor 8; Acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth.
   
 
 0.913
Gdf11
Growth/differentiation factor 11; Secreted signal that acts globally to specify positional identity along the anterior/posterior axis during development. May play critical roles in patterning both mesodermal and neural tissues and in establishing the skeletal pattern. Signals through activin receptors type-2, ACVR2A and ACVR2B, and activin receptors type-1, ACVR1B, ACVR1C and TGFBR1 leading to the phosphorylation of SMAD2 and SMAD3.
   
 
 0.805
Fst
Follistatin; Binds directly to activin and functions as an activin antagonist. Specific inhibitor of the biosynthesis and secretion of pituitary follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
   
  
 0.690
Fstl3
Follistatin-related protein 3; The secreted form is a binding and antagonizing protein for members of the TGF-beta family, such us activin, BMP2 and MSTN. Inhibits activin A-, activin B-, BMP2- and MSDT-induced cellular signaling; more effective on activin A than on activin B. Involved in bone formation; inhibits osteoclast differentiation. Involved in hematopoiesis; involved in differentiation of hemopoietic progenitor cells, increases hematopoietic cell adhesion to fibronectin and seems to contribute to the adhesion of hematopoietic precursor cells to the bone marrow stroma. The nucl [...]
      
 0.670
Fibcd1
Fibrinogen C domain-containing protein 1; Acetyl group-binding receptor which shows a high-affinity and calcium-dependent binding to acetylated structures such as chitin, some N-acetylated carbohydrates, and amino acids, but not to their non- acetylated counterparts. Can facilitate the endocytosis of acetylated components (By similarity).
   
  
 0.567
Ildr1
Immunoglobulin-like domain-containing receptor 1; Putative membrane receptor; Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. LISCH7 family.
  
 
 
 0.547
Wap
Whey acidic protein; Could be a protease inhibitor. May play an important role in mammary gland development and tissue remodeling.
   
  
 0.532
Igsf11
Immunoglobulin superfamily member 11; Functions as a cell adhesion molecule through homophilic interaction. Stimulates cell growth (By similarity).
  
     0.520
Lrit1
Leucine-rich repeat, immunoglobulin-like domain and transmembrane domain-containing protein 1; Possible role in phototransduction.
  
   
 0.435
Acvr1c
Activin receptor type-1C; Serine/threonine protein kinase which forms a receptor complex on ligand binding. The receptor complex consisting of 2 type II and 2 type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators, SMAD2 and SMAD3. Receptor for activin AB, activin B and NODAL. Plays a role in cell differentiation, growth arrest and apoptosis.
