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

Slc7a2Cationic amino acid transporter 2; Functions as permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine). The affinity for its substrates differs between isoforms created by alternative splicing. May play a role in classical or alternative activation of macrophages via its role in arginine transport. (658 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Slc1a7
Amino acid transporter.

Slc1a5
Amino acid transporter.

Slc7a13
Solute carrier family 7 member 13; Mediates the transport L-aspartate and L-glutamate in a sodium-independent manner; Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily.

Slc3a2
4F2 cell-surface antigen heavy chain; Component of several heterodimeric amino acid transporter complexes. The precise substrate specificity depends on the other subunit in the heterodimer. The heterodimer with SLC3A2 functions as sodium- independent, high-affinity transporter that mediates uptake of large neutral amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, L-DOPA, leucine, histidine, methionine and tryptophan. The complexes with SLC7A6 and SLC7A7 mediate uptake of dibasic amino acids (By similarity). The complexes function as amino acid exchangers. Required for targeting of SLC7A5 an [...]

Arg1
Arginase-1; Key element of the urea cycle converting L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine, which is further metabolized into metabolites proline and polyamides that drive collagen synthesis and bioenergetic pathways critical for cell proliferation, respectively; the urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the kidneys.
  
  
 0.650
Arg2
Arginase-2, mitochondrial; May play a role in the regulation of extra-urea cycle arginine metabolism and also in down-regulation of nitric oxide synthesis. Extrahepatic arginase functions to regulate L-arginine bioavailability to nitric oxid synthase (NOS). Arginine metabolism is a critical regulator of innate and adaptive immune responses. Seems to be involved in negative regulation of the survival capacity of activated T cells. May suppress inflammation-related signaling in asthmatic airway epithelium. May play a role in promoting prenatal immune suppression. Regulates RPS6KB1 signal [...]

Ass1
Argininosuccinate synthase; One of the enzymes of the urea cycle, the metabolic pathway transforming neurotoxic amonia produced by protein catabolism into inocuous urea in the liver of ureotelic animals (Probable). Catalyzes the formation of arginosuccinate from aspartate, citrulline and ATP and together with ASL it is responsible for the biosynthesis of arginine in most body tissues (Probable). Indirectly, may be involved in the control of blood pressure. Belongs to the argininosuccinate synthase family. Type 1 subfamily.

Adar
Double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase; Catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) referred to as A-to-I RNA editing. This may affect gene expression and function in a number of ways that include mRNA translation by changing codons and hence the amino acid sequence of proteins; pre-mRNA splicing by altering splice site recognition sequences; RNA stability by changing sequences involved in nuclease recognition; genetic stability in the case of RNA virus genomes by changing sequences during viral RNA replication; and RNA structur [...]

Asl
Argininosuccinate lyase; Belongs to the lyase 1 family. Argininosuccinate lyase subfamily.
  
 
 0.575
Slc38a4
Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 4; Sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates electrogenic symport of neutral amino acids and sodium ions. Has a broad specificity, with a preference for Ala, followed by Ser, Gly, Cys, Asn, Thr, Pro and Met. May mediate sodium-independent transport of cationic amino acids, such as Arg and Lys. Amino acid uptake is pH- dependent, with lower transport activities at pH 6.5, intermediate at pH 7.0 and highest between pH 7.5 and 8.5. Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
