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

A1bgAlpha-1B-glycoprotein. (513 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Crisp3
Cysteine-rich secretory protein 1; This protein is supposed to help spermatozoa undergo functional maturation while they move from the testis to the ductus deferens; Belongs to the CRISP family.
    
 
 0.783
Tf
Serotransferrin; Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe(3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. It is responsible for the transport of iron from sites of absorption and heme degradation to those of storage and utilization. Serum transferrin may also have a further role in stimulating cell proliferation.
   
 
 0.641
Gc
Vitamin D-binding protein; Involved in vitamin D transport and storage, scavenging of extracellular G-actin, enhancement of the chemotactic activity of C5 alpha for neutrophils in inflammation and macrophage activation.
   
  
 0.633
Hpx
Hemopexin; Binds heme and transports it to the liver for breakdown and iron recovery, after which the free hemopexin returns to the circulation.
   
 
 0.628
Ahsg
Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein; Could inhibit both insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase activity and insulin-stimulated receptor autophosphorylation and, concomitantly, antagonize the mitogenic effect of the hormone in cultured rat hepatoma cells.
   
 
 0.616
Hp
Haptoglobin alpha chain; As a result of hemolysis, hemoglobin is found to accumulate in the kidney and is secreted in the urine. Haptoglobin captures, and combines with free plasma hemoglobin to allow hepatic recycling of heme iron and to prevent kidney damage. Haptoglobin also acts as an antioxidant, has antibacterial activity and plays a role in modulating many aspects of the acute phase response. Hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes are rapidly cleared by the macrophage CD163 scavenger receptor expressed on the surface of liver Kupfer cells through an endocytic lysosomal degradation pat [...]
   
 
 0.605
Ambp
Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor light chain; Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor inhibits trypsin, plasmin, and lysosomal granulocytic elastase. Inhibits calcium oxalate crystallization (By similarity); In the N-terminal section; belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
   
 
 0.588
Lrg1
Leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1.
    
 
 0.569
Azgp1
Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein; Stimulates lipid degradation in adipocytes and causes the extensive fat losses associated with some advanced cancers. Belongs to the MHC class I family.
   
  
 0.548
Serpina1
Alpha-1-antiproteinase; Inhibitor of serine proteases. The primary target is elastase, but also has a moderate affinity for plasmin and thrombin; Belongs to the serpin family.
