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

Emp2Epithelial membrane protein 2; Functions as a key regulator of cell membrane composition by regulating proteins surface expression. Also, plays a role in regulation of processes including cell migration, cell proliferation, cell contraction and cell adhesion. Negatively regulates caveolae formation by reducing CAV1 expression and CAV1 amount by increasing lysosomal degradation. Facilitates surface trafficking and the formation of lipid rafts bearing GPI-anchor proteins. Regulates surface expression of MHC1 and ICAM1 proteins increasing susceptibility to T-cell mediated cytotoxicity. Re [...] (172 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Itsn2
Intersectin-2; Adapter protein that may provide indirect link between the endocytic membrane traffic and the actin assembly machinery. May regulate the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCPs). Seems to be involved in CCPs maturation including invagination or budding. Involved in endocytosis of integrin beta-1 (ITGB1) and transferrin receptor (TFR). Plays a role in dendrite formation by melanocytes.

Itsn1
Intersectin-1; Adapter protein that provides a link between the endocytic membrane traffic and the actin assembly machinery. Acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for CDC42, and thereby stimulates actin nucleation mediated by WASL and the ARP2/3 complex (By similarity). Plays a role in the assembly and maturation of clathrin- coated vesicles (By similarity). Recruits FCHSD2 to clathrin-coated pits (By similarity). Involved in endocytosis of activated EGFR, and probably also other growth factor receptors. Involved in endocytosis of integrin beta-1 (ITGB1) and transferrin rece [...]

Cplx4
Complexin-4; Complexin that regulates SNARE protein complex-mediated synaptic vesicle fusion. Required for the maintenance of synaptic ultrastructure in the adult retina. Positively regulates synaptic transmission through synaptic vesicle availability and exocytosis of neurotransmitters at photoreceptor ribbon synapses in the retina. Suppresses tonic photoreceptor activity and baseline 'noise' by suppression of Ca(2+) vesicle tonic release and the facilitation of evoked synchronous and asynchronous Ca(2+) vesicle release. Belongs to the complexin/synaphin family.
  
   
 0.509
Kank2
KN motif and ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 2; Involved in transcription regulation by sequestering in the cytoplasm nuclear receptor coactivators such as NCOA1, NCOA2 and NCOA3 (By similarity). Involved in regulation of caspase-independent apoptosis by sequestering the proapoptotic factor AIFM1 in mitochondria (By similarity). Pro-apoptotic stimuli can induce its proteasomal degradation allowing the translocation of AIFM1 to the nucleus to induce apoptosis (By similarity). Involved in the negative control of vitamin D receptor signaling pathway (By similarity). Involved in a [...]

P2rx7
P2X purinoceptor 7; Receptor for ATP that acts as a ligand-gated ion channel. Responsible for ATP-dependent lysis of macrophages through the formation of membrane pores permeable to large molecules. Could function in both fast synaptic transmission and the ATP-mediated lysis of antigen-presenting cells. In the absence of its natural ligand, ATP, functions as a scavenger receptor in the recognition and engulfment of apoptotic cells.
   
  
 0.452
Ydjc
Carbohydrate deacetylase; Probably catalyzes the deacetylation of acetylated carbohydrates an important step in the degradation of oligosaccharides.
      
 0.447
Dnajc8
DnaJ homolog subfamily C member 8; Suppresses polyglutamine (polyQ) aggregation of ATXN3 in neuronal cells.
      
 0.446
Gjb6
Gap junction beta-6 protein; One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell.
  
    0.429
Tspan7
Tetraspanin-7; May be involved in cell proliferation and cell motility; Belongs to the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family.
