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

Fads3Fatty acid desaturase 3; Acts as a methyl-end fatty acyl coenzyme A (CoA) desaturase that introduces a cis double bond between the preexisting double bond and the terminal methyl group of the fatty acyl chain. Desaturates (11E)-octadecenoate (trans-vaccenoate) at carbon 13 to generate (11E,13Z)-octadecadienoate, likely participating in the biohydrogenation pathway of linoleic acid (LA) (18:2n-6). (449 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Elovl2
Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 2; Catalyzes the first and rate-limiting reaction of the four reactions that constitute the long-chain fatty acids elongation cycle. This endoplasmic reticulum-bound enzymatic process allows the addition of 2 carbons to the chain of long- and very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) per cycle. Condensing enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of polyunsaturated very long chain fatty acid (C20- and C22-PUFA), acting specifically toward polyunsaturated acyl-CoA with the higher activity toward C20:4(n-6) acyl-CoA. May participate in the productio [...]

Sc5d
Lathosterol oxidase; Catalyzes a dehydrogenation to introduce C5-6 double bond into lathosterol.
  
 
 0.560
Fdx2
Ferredoxin 2.
  
 
 0.552
Msmo1
Methylsterol monooxygenase 1; Catalyzes the first step in the removal of the two C-4 methyl groups of 4,4-dimethylzymosterol; Belongs to the sterol desaturase family.
  
 
 0.534
Ch25h
Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase; Catalyzes the formation of 25-hydroxycholesterol from cholesterol, leading to repress cholesterol biosynthetic enzymes. Plays a key role in cell positioning and movement in lymphoid tissues: 25- hydroxycholesterol is an intermediate in biosynthesis of 7-alpha,25- dihydroxycholesterol (7-alpha,25-OHC), an oxysterol that acts as a ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor GPR183/EBI2, a chemotactic receptor for a number of lymphoid cells. May play an important role in regulating lipid metabolism by synthesizing a corepressor that blocks sterol regulatory eleme [...]

Faxdc2
Fatty acid hydroxylase domain-containing protein; Belongs to the sterol desaturase family.

Cyb5b
Cytochrome b5 type B; Cytochrome b5 is a membrane-bound hemoprotein functioning as an electron carrier for several membrane-bound oxygenases.
   
  
0.530
Fdx1
Adrenodoxin, mitochondrial; Essential for the synthesis of various steroid hormones. Participates in the reduction of mitochondrial cytochrome P450 for steroidogenesis. Transfers electrons from adrenodoxin reductase to CYP11A1, a cytochrome P450 that catalyzes cholesterol side-chain cleavage. Does not form a ternary complex with adrenodoxin reductase and CYP11A1 but shuttles between the two enzymes to transfer electrons.
  
 
 0.529
Mnd1
Meiotic nuclear division protein 1 homolog; Required for proper homologous chromosome pairing and efficient cross-over and intragenic recombination during meiosis. Belongs to the MND1 family.
      
 0.504
Setd6
N-lysine methyltransferase SETD6; Protein-lysine N-methyltransferase. Monomethylates 'Lys-310' of the RELA subunit of NF-kappa-B complex, leading to down-regulate NF- kappa-B transcription factor activity. Monomethylates 'Lys-8' of H2AZ (H2AZK8me1) (By similarity). Required for the maintenance of embryonic stem cell self-renewal (By similarity); Belongs to the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Histone-lysine methyltransferase family. SETD6 subfamily.
