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

Cldn7Claudin-7; Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space; Belongs to the claudin family. (211 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Epcam
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule; May act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) at the mucosal epithelium for providing immunological barrier as a first line of defense against mucosal infection. Plays a role in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation. Up-regulates the expression of FABP5, MYC and cyclins A and E (By similarity). Belongs to the EPCAM family.
   
 
 0.976
Ocln
Occludin; May play a role in the formation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) paracellular permeability barrier. May be involved in the organization of actin in endothelial cells. Belongs to the ELL/occludin family.
   
 0.951
Tjp1
Tight junction protein ZO-1; TjpP1, Tjp2, and Tjp3 are closely related scaffolding proteins that link tight junction (TJ) transmembrane proteins such as claudins, junctional adhesion molecules, and occludin to the actin cytoskeleton. The tight junction acts to limit movement of substances through the paracellular space and as a boundary between the compositionally distinct apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains of epithelial and endothelial cells. Necessary for lumenogenesis, and particularly efficient epithelial polarization and barrier formation (By similarity). Plays a role [...]
   
 0.948
Tjp3
Tight junction protein 3 (Predicted), isoform CRA_b; Belongs to the MAGUK family.
   
 0.915
Cldn4
