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.

Slc7a2Cationic amino acid transporter 2; Functions as permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine). The affinity for its substrates differs between isoforms created by alternative splicing. May play a role in classical or alternative activation of macrophages via its role in arginine transport. (658 aa)

Slc1a5
Amino acid transporter.

Arg1
Arginase-1; Key element of the urea cycle converting L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine, which is further metabolized into metabolites proline and polyamides that drive collagen synthesis and bioenergetic pathways critical for cell proliferation, respectively; the urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the kidneys.
  
 
 0.700
Arg2
Arginase-2, mitochondrial; May play a role in the regulation of extra-urea cycle arginine metabolism and also in down-regulation of nitric oxide synthesis. Extrahepatic arginase functions to regulate L-arginine bioavailability to nitric oxid synthase (NOS). Arginine metabolism is a critical regulator of innate and adaptive immune responses. Seems to be involved in negative regulation of the survival capacity of activated T cells. May suppress inflammation-related signaling in asthmatic airway epithelium. May play a role in promoting prenatal immune suppression. Regulates RPS6KB1 signal [...]

Slc38a4
Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 4; Sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates electrogenic symport of neutral amino acids and sodium ions. Has a broad specificity, with a preference for Ala, followed by Ser, Gly, Cys, Asn, Thr, Pro and Met. May mediate sodium-independent transport of cationic amino acids, such as Arg and Lys. Amino acid uptake is pH- dependent, with lower transport activities at pH 6.5, intermediate at pH 7.0 and highest between pH 7.5 and 8.5. Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
   
  
 0.626
Slc38a3
Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 3; Sodium-dependent amino acid/proton antiporter. Mediates electrogenic cotransport of glutamine and sodium ions in exchange for protons. Also recognizes histidine and asparagine. May mediate amino acid transport in either direction under physiological conditions. May play a role in nitrogen metabolism and synaptic transmission.

Ass1
Argininosuccinate synthase; One of the enzymes of the urea cycle, the metabolic pathway transforming neurotoxic amonia produced by protein catabolism into inocuous urea in the liver of ureotelic animals (Probable). Catalyzes the formation of arginosuccinate from aspartate, citrulline and ATP and together with ASL it is responsible for the biosynthesis of arginine in most body tissues (Probable). Indirectly, may be involved in the control of blood pressure. Belongs to the argininosuccinate synthase family. Type 1 subfamily.
   
 
 0.616
Slc7a13
Solute carrier family 7 member 13; Mediates the transport L-aspartate and L-glutamate in a sodium-independent manner; Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily.
  
 
 
 0.615
Gch1
GTP cyclohydrolase 1; May positively regulate nitric oxide synthesis in endothelial cells. May be involved in dopamine synthesis (By similarity). May modify pain sensitivity and persistence; Belongs to the GTP cyclohydrolase I family.
   
  
 0.599
Asl
Argininosuccinate lyase; Belongs to the lyase 1 family. Argininosuccinate lyase subfamily.
