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

Gpx4Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase; Essential antioxidant peroxidase that directly reduces phospholipid hydroperoxide even if they are incorporated in membranes and lipoproteins (By similarity). Can also reduce fatty acid hydroperoxide, cholesterol hydroperoxide and thymine hydroperoxide (By similarity). Plays a key role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by preventing membrane lipid peroxidation. Required to prevent cells from ferroptosis, a non- apoptotic cell death resulting from an iron-dependent accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (By similarity). T [...] (253 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Chac1
Glutathione-specific gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase 1; Catalyzes the cleavage of glutathione into 5-oxo-L-proline and a Cys-Gly dipeptide. Acts specifically on glutathione, but not on other gamma-glutamyl peptides. Glutathione depletion is an important factor for apoptosis initiation and execution. Acts as a pro-apoptotic component of the unfolded protein response pathway by mediating the pro-apoptotic effects of the ATF4-ATF3-DDIT3/CHOP cascade. Negative regulator of Notch signaling pathway involved in embryonic neurogenesis: acts by inhibiting Notch cleavage by furin, maintaining Not [...]

Gss
Glutathione synthetase; Belongs to the eukaryotic GSH synthase family.
   
 
 0.946
Ggt7
Glutathione hydrolase 7 heavy chain; Cleaves glutathione conjugates.
     
 0.923
Ggt5
Glutathione hydrolase 5 heavy chain; Cleaves the gamma-glutamyl peptide bond of glutathione conjugates, but maybe not glutathione itself. Converts leukotriene C4 (LTC4) to leukotriene D4 (LTD4).
     
 0.923
Ggt6
Glutathione hydrolase 6 heavy chain; Cleaves glutathione conjugates.
     
 0.920
Chac2
Putative glutathione-specific gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase 2; Catalyzes the cleavage of glutathione into 5-oxo-L-proline and a Cys-Gly dipeptide. Acts specifically on glutathione, but not on other gamma-glutamyl peptides; Belongs to the gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase family. ChaC subfamily.

Hspa5
Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP; Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone that plays a key role in protein folding and quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen (By similarity). Involved in the correct folding of proteins and degradation of misfolded proteins via its interaction with DNAJC10/ERdj5, probably to facilitate the release of DNAJC10/ERdj5 from its substrate (By similarity). Acts as a key repressor of the ERN1/IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response (UPR). In the unstressed endoplasmic reticulum, recruited by DNAJB9/ERdj4 to the luminal region of ERN1/IRE1, leading to dis [...]

Gstk1
Glutathione S-transferase kappa 1; Might confer protection against genotoxic and cytotoxic electrophiles in the mitochondrial compartment; Belongs to the GST superfamily. Kappa family.
   
 0.848
Txnrd1
Thioredoxin reductase 1, cytoplasmic.
  
 0.838
Txnrd2
Thioredoxin reductase 2, mitochondrial; Involved in the control of reactive oxygen species levels and the regulation of mitochondrial redox homeostasis (By similarity). Maintains mitochondrial thioredoxin in a reduced state. May play a role in redox-regulated cell signaling.
