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

MetrnMeteorin; Involved in both glial cell differentiation and axonal network formation during neurogenesis. Promotes astrocyte differentiation and transforms cerebellar astrocytes into radial glia. Also induces axonal extension in small and intermediate neurons of sensory ganglia by activating nearby satellite glia. (291 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Fndc5
Fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5; [Irisin]: mediates beneficial effects of muscular exercise. Induces browning of white adipose tissue by stimulating UCP1 expression, at least in part, via the nuclear receptor PPARA.

Fam173a
Adenine nucleotide translocase lysine N-methyltransferase; Mitochondrial protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that trimethylates adenine nucleotide translocases ANT2/SLC25A5 and ANT3/SLC25A6, thereby regulating mitochondrial respiration. Probably also trimethylates ANT1/SLC25A4.
 
 
  
 0.538
Fgf21
Fibroblast growth factor 21; Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression). Activity probably requires the presence of KLB; Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
   
  
 0.519
Zfp354c
Zinc finger protein 354C; May function as a transcription repressor. Binds to 5'-CCACA- 3' core sequence. Suppresses osteogenic effects of RUNX2. May be involved in osteoblastic differentiation (By similarity). Plays a role in postnatal myogenesis, may be involved in the regulation of satellite cells self-renewal ; Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
   
 
 0.486
Kbtbd12
Kelch repeat and BTB domain-containing protein 12.
      
 0.485
Mstn
Growth/differentiation factor 8; Acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth.
      
 0.483
Rrp36
Ribosomal RNA processing protein 36 homolog; Involved in the early processing steps of the pre-rRNA in the maturation pathway leading to the 18S rRNA; Belongs to the RRP36 family.
   
  
 0.472
Ucp1
Mitochondrial brown fat uncoupling protein 1; Mitochondrial protein responsible for thermogenic respiration, a specialized capacity of brown adipose tissue and beige fat that participates to non-shivering adaptive thermogenesis to temperature and diet variations and more generally to the regulation of energy balance. Functions as a long-chain fatty acid/LCFA and proton symporter, simultaneously transporting one LCFA and one proton through the inner mitochondrial membrane. However, LCFAs remaining associated with the transporter via their hydrophobic tails, it results in an apparent tra [...]

Sipa1l2
Signal-induced proliferation-associated 1-like protein 2.
   
  
 0.437
Crebl2
cAMP-responsive element-binding protein-like 2; Probable regulator of CREB1 transcriptional activity which is involved in adipose cells differentiation. May also play a regulatory role in the cell cycle.
