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

SmcpSperm mitochondrial-associated cysteine-rich protein; Involved in sperm motility. Its absence is associated with genetic background dependent male infertility. Infertility may be due to reduced sperm motility in the female reproductive tract and inability to penetrate the oocyte zona pellucida. (143 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Odf1
Outer dense fiber protein 1; Component of the outer dense fibers (ODF) of spermatozoa. ODF are filamentous structures located on the outside of the axoneme in the midpiece and principal piece of the mammalian sperm tail and may help to maintain the passive elastic structures and elastic recoil of the sperm tail.
   
  
 0.713
Fscb
Fibrous sheath CABYR-binding protein; May be involved in the later stages of fibrous sheath biogenesis and spermatozoa capacitation. Inhibits ROPN1 and ROPN1L SUMOylation. Binds calcium.
   
 
 0.620
Spesp1
Sperm equatorial segment protein 1; Involved in fertilization ability of sperm.
   
  
 0.604
Cylc2
Cylicin, basic protein of sperm head cytoskeleton 2.
   
 
 0.601
Zan
Zonadhesin; Binds in a species-specific manner to the zona pellucida of the egg. May be involved in gamete recognition and/or signaling.
    
 
 0.562
Tmem190
Transmembrane protein 190.
   
  
 0.526
Spata6
Spermatogenesis-associated protein 6; Required for formation of the sperm connecting piece during spermiogenesis. Sperm connecting piece is essential for linking the developing flagellum to the head during late spermiogenesis. May be involved in myosin-based microfilament transport through interaction with myosin subunits.
      
 0.521
Spata21
Spermatogenesis-associated protein 21; Involved in the differentiation of haploid spermatids.
   
 
 0.516
Hils1
Spermatid-specific linker histone H1-like protein; DNA-binding protein that may be implicated in chromatin remodeling and/or transcriptional regulation during spermiogenesis, the process of spermatid maturation into spermatozoa; Belongs to the histone H1/H5 family.
   
  
 0.501
Tsga8
Testis-specific gene A8 protein.
   
  
 0.497
