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

Tff2Trefoil factor 2; Inhibits gastrointestinal motility and gastric acid secretion. Could function as a structural component of gastric mucus, possibly by stabilizing glycoproteins in the mucus gel through interactions with carbohydrate side chains. (129 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Muc6
Mucin 6, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming.
   
  
 0.912
Gast
Big gastrin; Gastrin stimulates the stomach mucosa to produce and secrete hydrochloric acid and the pancreas to secrete its digestive enzymes. It also stimulates smooth muscle contraction and increases blood circulation and water secretion in the stomach and intestine.
   
  
 0.757
Cblif
Cobalamin binding intrinsic factor; Promotes absorption of the essential vitamin cobalamin (Cbl) in the ileum. After interaction with CUBN, the CBLIF-cobalamin complex is internalized via receptor-mediated endocytosis (By similarity).
   
  
 0.713
Muc5b
Mucin 5B, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming.
   
  
 0.648
Gkn3
Gastrokine 3.
   
  
 0.615
Gp2
Pancreatic secretory granule membrane major glycoprotein GP2.
   
  
 0.609
Mep1a
Meprin A subunit alpha.
   
  
 0.608
Pgc
Gastricsin; Hydrolyzes a variety of proteins.
   
  
 0.599
Bpifb1
BPI fold-containing family B member 1; May play a role in innate immunity in mouth, nose and lungs. Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and modulates the cellular responses to LPS (By similarity); Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. Plunc family.
   
  
 0.586
Muc13
Mucin-13; Epithelial and hemopoietic transmembrane mucin that may play a role in cell signaling.
   
  
 0.575
