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

Slc46a1Proton-coupled folate transporter; Has been shown to act both as an intestinal proton-coupled high-affinity folate transporter and as an intestinal heme transporter which mediates heme uptake from the gut lumen into duodenal epithelial cells. The iron is then released from heme and may be transported into the bloodstream. Dietary heme iron is an important nutritional source of iron. Shows a higher affinity for folate than heme (By similarity). Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. SLC46A family. (459 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Slc19a1
Reduced folate transporter; Transporter that mediates the import of reduced folates. Has high affinity for N5- methyltetrahydrofolate, the predominant circulating form of folate (By similarity). Also able to mediate the import of antifolate drug methotrexate. Mechanistically, acts as an antiporter, which export of intracellular organic anions to facilitate uptake of its substrates (By similarity). 5-amino-4- imidazolecarboxamide riboside (AICAR), when phosphorylated to AICAR monophosphate, can serve as an organic anion for antiporter activity (By similarity).

Folr1
Folate receptor 1 (Adult), isoform CRA_b.
      
 0.789
Cybrd1
Cytochrome b reductase 1; Ferric-chelate reductase that reduces Fe(3+) to Fe(2+). Present at the brush border of duodenal enterocytes where it probably reduces dietary Fe(3+) thereby facilitating its transport into the mucosal cells. Uses ascorbate as electron donor. May be involved in extracellular ascorbate recycling in erythrocyte membranes. May also act as a ferrireductase in airway epithelial cells (By similarity).
   
  
 0.734
Slc11a2
Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 2; May serve to import iron into the mitochondria (By similarity). Important in metal transport, in particular iron. Can also transport zinc, manganese, cobalt, cadmium, copper, nickel and lead. Involved in apical iron uptake into duodenal enterocytes. Involved in iron transport from acidified endosomes into the cytoplasm of erythroid precursor cells. May play an important role in hepatic iron accumulation and tissue iron distribution. Belongs to the NRAMP family.
      
 0.733
Flvcr2
Feline leukemia virus subgroup C receptor-related protein 2; Acts as an importer of heme. Also acts as a transporter for a calcium-chelator complex, important for growth and calcium metabolism (By similarity).
      
 0.680
Dhfr
Dihydrofolate reductase; Key enzyme in folate metabolism. Contributes to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis pathway. Catalyzes an essential reaction for de novo glycine and purine synthesis, and for DNA precursor synthesis. Binds its own mRNA (By similarity).
   
  
 0.679
Flvcr1
Feline leukemia virus subgroup C cellular receptor 1.
      
 0.671
Folr2
Folate receptor 2 (Fetal) (Predicted), isoform CRA_a.
   
  
 0.635
Folh1
Glutamate carboxypeptidase 2; Has both folate hydrolase and N-acetylated-alpha-linked- acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase) activity. Has a preference for tri- alpha-glutamate peptides (By similarity). In the intestine, required for the uptake of folate. In the brain, modulates excitatory neurotransmission through the hydrolysis of the neuropeptide, N- aceylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), thereby releasing glutamate.
      
 0.615
Slc40a1
Solute carrier family 40 member 1; May be involved in iron export from duodenal epithelial cell and also in transfer of iron between maternal and fetal circulation. Mediates iron efflux in the presence of a ferroxidase (hephaestin and/or ceruloplasmin) (By similarity).
