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

Defa38Defensin, alpha, 38. (116 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Cd4
T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4; Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class II molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class II peptides are derived from extracellular proteins while class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class II presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kina [...]

Defa17
Alpha-defensin 3; Probably contributes to the antimicrobial barrier function of the small bowel mucosa.
   
 
0.471
Defa35
Alpha-defensin 5; Probably contributes to the antimicrobial barrier function of the small bowel mucosa; Belongs to the alpha-defensin family.

Defa30
Defensin, alpha, 30.
   
 
0.465
Defa32
Alpha-defensin 20; May have microbicidal activities; Belongs to the alpha-defensin family.
   
 
0.464
Defa39
Defensin, alpha, 39.
   
 
0.462
Defb18
Beta-defensin 18; Has antibacterial activity; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
     
 0.461
Defa37
Defensin, alpha, 36.
   
 
 
0.457
Defa43
Defensin, alpha, 42.
   
 
 
0.457
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.
