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.

Defb14Beta-defensin 14; Has antibacterial activity; Belongs to the beta-defensin family. (67 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Defb1
Beta-defensin 1; Has bactericidal activity. May act as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR6. Positively regulates the sperm motility and bactericidal activity in a CCR6-dependent manner. Binds to CCR6 and triggers Ca2+ mobilization in the sperm which is important for its motility; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
   
 
 0.971
Defb3
Beta-defensin 3; Antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria E.coli and P.aeruginosa; Belongs to the beta-defensin family. LAP/TAP subfamily.
   
 
 0.911
AY761185
cDNA sequence AY761185.
     
 0.911
Defb4
Beta-defensin 4; Exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria. May act as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR6. Can bind to mouse (but not human) CCR6 and induce chemotactic activity of CCR6-expressing cells.
   
 
 0.898
Defb6
Beta-defensin 6; Has potent antibacterial activity against E.coli (ATCC 25922); Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
   
 
 0.775
Defb8
Beta-defensin 8; A synthetic peptide displays antimicrobial activities against S.aureus, P.aeruginosa, E.coli and B.cepacia. The antimicrobial activity against S.aureus, E.coli and B.cepacia is reduced in raised concentration of NaCl, but its action against P.aeruginosa is independent of NaCl concentration.
     
 0.703
Ccr6
C-C chemokine receptor type 6; Receptor for the C-C type chemokine CCL20. Binds to CCL20 and subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ion levels. Although CCL20 is its major ligand it can also act as a receptor for non-chemokine ligands such as beta-defensins. Binds to defensin DEFB1 leading to increase in intracellular calcium ions and cAMP levels. Its binding to DEFB1 is essential for the function of DEFB1 in regulating sperm motility and bactericidal activity (By similarity). Binds to defensins DEFB4 and DEFB4A/B and mediates their chemotactic effects [...]

Defa26
Alpha-defensin 26; May have microbicidal activities; Belongs to the alpha-defensin family.
     
 0.668
Defa21
Alpha-defensin 21; May have microbicidal activities; Belongs to the alpha-defensin family.
