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

Vax2Ventral anterior homeobox 2; Transcription factor that may function in dorsoventral specification of the forebrain. Regulates the expression of Wnt signaling antagonists including the expression of a truncated TCF7L2 isoform that cannot bind CTNNB1 and acts therefore as a potent dominant-negative Wnt antagonist. Plays a crucial role in eye development and, in particular, in the specification of the ventral optic vesicle (By similarity). May be a regulator of axial polarization in the retina; Belongs to the EMX homeobox family. (292 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Pax2
Paired box gene 2 (Predicted).
   
  
 0.695
Six6
Sine oculis-related homeobox 6 homolog (Drosophila) (Predicted).
   
 
 0.671
Six3
SIX homeobox 3.
   
 
 0.648
Tbx5
T-box transcription factor TBX5; DNA-binding protein that regulates the transcription of several genes and is involved in heart development and limb pattern formation. Binds to the core DNA motif of NPPA promoter.
    
 
 0.540
Phactr4
Phosphatase and actin regulator.
      
 0.511
Mab21l2
Mab-21-like 2.
   
  
 0.492
Foxd2
Forkhead box protein D1; Transcription factor involved in regulation of gene expression in a variety of processes including formation of positional identity in the developing retina, regionalization of the optic chiasm, morphogenesis of the kidney, and neuralization of ectodermal cells (By similarity). Involved in transcriptional activation of PGF and C3 genes (By similarity).
  
 
 
 0.485
Six5
SIX homeobox 5.
  
 
 0.481
Foxe3
Forkhead box protein E3; Transcription factor that controls lens epithelial cell growth through regulation of proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle (By similarity). During lens development, controls the ratio of the lens fiber cells to the cells of the anterior lens epithelium by regulating the rate of proliferation and differentiation (By similarity). Controls lens vesicle closure and subsequent separation of the lens vesicle from ectoderm (By similarity). Controls the expression of DNAJB1 in a pathway that is crucial for the development of the anterior segment of the eye (By similarity).
   
 
 0.446
Lhx2
LIM/homeobox protein Lhx2; Acts as a transcriptional activator. Stimulates the promoter of the alpha-glycoprotein gene. Transcriptional regulatory protein involved in the control of cell differentiation in developing lymphoid and neural cell types (By similarity).
