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

OmdOsteomodulin; May be implicated in biomineralization processes. Has a function in binding of osteoblasts via the alpha(V)beta(3)-integrin (By similarity). (423 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ogn
Mimecan; Induces bone formation in conjunction with TGF-beta-1 or TGF- beta-2; Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class III subfamily.
   
 
0.900
Fmod
Fibromodulin; Affects the rate of fibrils formation. May have a primary role in collagen fibrillogenesis.
  
 
0.818
Prelp
Prolargin; May anchor basement membranes to the underlying connective tissue.
  
 
0.781
Lum
Lumican; Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class II subfamily.
  
 
0.756
Aspn
Asporin; Binds calcium and plays a role in osteoblast-driven collagen biomineralization activity (By similarity). Critical regulator of TGF- beta in articular cartilage and plays an essential role in cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. Negatively regulates chondrogenesis in the articular cartilage by blocking the TGF- beta/receptor interaction on the cell surface and inhibiting the canonical TGF-beta/Smad signal. Negatively regulates periodontal ligament (PDL) differentiation and mineralization to ensure that the PDL is not ossified and to maintain homeostasis o [...]
  
  
0.754
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.
   
 
 0.711
Chad
Chondroadherin; Promotes attachment of chondrocytes, fibroblasts, and osteoblasts. This binding is mediated (at least for chondrocytes and fibroblasts) by the integrin alpha(2)beta(1). May play an important role in the regulation of chondrocyte growth and proliferation (By similarity); Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class IV subfamily.
  
  
0.670
Kera
Keratocan; May be important in developing and maintaining corneal transparency and for the structure of the stromal matrix; Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class II subfamily.
  
 
0.615
C4bp
C4b-binding protein; Controls the classical pathway of complement activation. It binds as a cofactor to C3b/C4b inactivator (C3bINA), which then hydrolyzes the complement fragment C4b. It also accelerates the degradation of the C4bC2a complex (C3 convertase) by dissociating the complement fragment C2a. Alpha chain binds C4b. It interacts also with serum amyloid P component.
      
 0.579
Lrr1
Leucine-rich repeat protein 1.
