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

Lgals12Galectin-12; Binds lactose. May participate in the apoptosis of adipocytes. (314 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Calcoco2
Calcium-binding and coiled-coil domain-containing protein 2; Xenophagy-specific receptor required for autophagy-mediated intracellular bacteria degradation (By similarity). Acts as an effector protein of galectin-sensed membrane damage that restricts the proliferation of infecting pathogens upon entry into the cytosol by targeting LGALS8-associated bacteria for autophagy (By similarity). Initially orchestrates bacteria targeting to autophagosomes and subsequently ensures pathogen degradation by regulating pathogen- containing autophagosome maturation (By similarity). Bacteria targeting [...]

Lgals2
Galectin-2; This protein binds beta-galactoside. Its physiological function is not yet known.
      
 0.555
Ankef1
Ankyrin repeat and EF-hand domain-containing protein 1.
   
  
 0.535
Vps13c
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13C; Necessary for proper mitochondrial function and maintenance of mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Involved in the regulation of PINK1/PRKN-mediated mitophagy in response to mitochondrial depolarization.
   
 
 0.526
Vstm4
V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 4; Peptide Lv enhances L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (L- VGCC) currents in retinal photoreceptors.
   
 
 0.525
Retn
Resistin; Hormone that seems to suppress insulin ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells. Potentially links obesity to diabetes; Belongs to the resistin/FIZZ family.
   
  
 0.520
Mindy3
Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase MINDY-3; Hydrolase that can remove 'Lys-48'-linked conjugated ubiquitin from proteins.
      
 0.490
Timp4
Metalloproteinase inhibitor 4; Complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor.
   
  
 0.477
Vps13a
Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 13A; May play a role in the control of protein cycling through the trans-Golgi network to early and late endosomes, lysosomes and plasma membrane.
   
 
 0.456
Lep
Leptin; Key player in the regulation of energy balance and body weight control. Once released into the circulation, has central and peripheral effects by binding LEPR, found in many tissues, which results in the activation of several major signaling pathways. In the hypothalamus, acts as an appetite-regulating factor that induces a decrease in food intake and an increase in energy consumption by inducing anorexinogenic factors and suppressing orexigenic neuropeptides, also regulates bone mass and secretion of hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal hormones. In the periphery, increases basal met [...]
