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

C8bComplement component C8 beta chain; Constituent of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that plays a key role in the innate and adaptive immune response by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells. (589 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
C5
C5a anaphylatoxin; Derived from proteolytic degradation of complement C5, C5 anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. Binding to the receptor C5AR1 induces a variety of responses including intracellular calcium release, contraction of smooth muscle, increased vascular permeability, and histamine release from mast cells and basophilic leukocytes. C5a is also a potent chemokine which stimulates the locomotion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and directs their migration toward sites of inflammation.
   
 0.991
C8g
Complement component 8, gamma polypeptide (Predicted), isoform CRA_a.
   
 0.981
C7
Complement C7.
   
0.976
C9
Complement component C9; Constituent of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that plays a key role in the innate and adaptive immune response by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells. C9 is the pore-forming subunit of the MAC; Belongs to the complement C6/C7/C8/C9 family.
   
0.975
C8a
Complement component 8, alpha polypeptide (Predicted).
  
0.969
C6
Complement component C6; Constituent of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that plays a key role in the innate and adaptive immune response by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells; Belongs to the complement C6/C7/C8/C9 family.
   
0.964
Cpb2
Carboxypeptidase B2; Cleaves C-terminal arginine or lysine residues from biologically active peptides such as kinins or anaphylatoxins in the circulation thereby regulating their activities. Down-regulates fibrinolysis by removing C-terminal lysine residues from fibrin that has already been partially degraded by plasmin. Belongs to the peptidase M14 family.
   
  
 0.786
Cd59
CD59 glycoprotein; Potent inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex (MAC) action. Acts at or after the C5b-8 stage of MAC assembly.
     
 0.777
Slc25a5
ADP/ATP translocase 2, N-terminally processed; Catalyzes the exchange of cytoplasmic ADP with mitochondrial ATP across the mitochondrial inner membrane. As part of the mitotic spindle-associated MMXD complex it may play a role in chromosome segregation (By similarity); Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family.
   
 
 0.752
Slc25a4
ADP/ATP translocase 1; Involved in mitochondrial ADP/ATP transport. Catalyzes the exchange of cytoplasmic ADP with mitochondrial ATP across the mitochondrial inner membrane.
