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

GkGlycerol kinase; Key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism (By similarity). Increases the binding of activated glucocorticoid-receptor to nuclei in the presence of ATP; Belongs to the FGGY kinase family. (559 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Gpat3
Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 3; Converts glycerol-3-phosphate to 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3- phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone (By similarity). Also converts LPA into 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (phosphatidic acid or PA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone (By similarity).
    
 0.945
Gpam
Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1, mitochondrial; Esterifies acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the sn-1 position of glycerol-3-phosphate, an essential step in glycerolipid biosynthesis.
   
 
 0.930
Gpd2
Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial.
 0.925
Gpat4
1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 6 (Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase, zeta).
    
 0.919
Gpat2
Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2, mitochondrial.

Akr1b1
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B1; Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols with a broad range of catalytic efficiencies.
   
 
 0.909
Akr1b7
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B7; Reduces a broad range of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols. Reduces prostaglandins (By similarity). May play a role in the metabolism of xenobiotic aromatic aldehydes.
   
 
 0.909
Akr1a1
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1; Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols. Displays enzymatic activity towards endogenous metabolites such as aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, ketones, monosaccharides and bile acids (By similarity). Plays an important role in ascorbic acid biosynthesis by catalyzing the reduction of D- glucuronic acid and D-glucurono-gamma-lactone. Functions as a detoxifiying enzyme by reducing a range of toxic aldehydes. Reduces methylglyoxal and 3-deoxyglucosone, which are presen [...]
