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

Defb24Beta-defensin 24. (83 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Defb44
Beta-defensin 44, isoform CRA_b.
     
 0.935
Defb36
Beta-defensin; Has antibacterial activity; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
   
 
 0.883
Defb1
Beta-defensin 1; Has bactericidal activity. May act as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR6. Positively regulates the sperm motility and bactericidal activity in a CCR6-dependent manner. Binds to CCR6 and triggers Ca2+ mobilization in the sperm which is important for its motility; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
     
 0.853
Defb30
Beta-defensin 30; Has antibacterial activity; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
     
 0.840
Defb27
Beta-defensin; Has antibacterial activity; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
   
  
 0.812
Defb4
Beta-defensin 4; Exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria. May act as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR6. Binds to CCR6 and induces chemotactic activity of CCR6-expressing cells.
     
 0.806
Defb25
Beta-defensin 25; Has antibacterial activity; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
     
 0.783
Spag11a
Sperm-associated antigen 11; Antimicrobial peptide against E.coli. Is also responsible for sperm maturation, storage, and protection. Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
      
 0.733
Defb42
Beta-defensin 42.
     
 0.722
Defb17
Beta-defensin 17; Has antibacterial activity; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
     
 0.722
