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

GH1Somatotropin; Plays an important role in growth control. Its major role in stimulating body growth is to stimulate the liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-1. It stimulates both the differentiation and proliferation of myoblasts. It also stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle and other tissues (By similarity); Belongs to the somatotropin/prolactin family. (244 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
GHR
Growth hormone-binding protein; Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to, and activates the JAK2/STAT5 pathway (By similarity); Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily.
    
 0.991
PRLR
Prolactin receptor; This is a receptor for the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin.
   
 0.946
GHRH
Growth hormone releasing hormone.
   
  
 0.943
H0WD65_CAVPO
Uncharacterized protein.
   
 0.939
GHRL
Ghrelin and obestatin prepropeptide.
   
 
 0.935
LEP
Leptin; Key player in the regulation of energy balance and body weight control. Once released into the circulation, has central and peripheral effects by binding LEPR, found in many tissues, which results in the activation of several major signaling pathways. In the hypothalamus, acts as an appetite-regulating factor that induces a decrease in food intake and an increase in energy consumption by inducing anorexinogenic factors and suppressing orexigenic neuropeptides, also regulates bone mass and secretion of hypothalamo- pituitary-adrenal hormones. In the periphery, increases basal me [...]

IL2
Interleukin-2; Produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation, this protein is required for T-cell proliferation and other activities crucial to regulation of the immune response. Belongs to the IL-2 family.
   
 
 0.916
Il4
Interleukin-4.
   
 
  0.913
POMC
Corticotropin-like intermediary peptide; ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Beta-endorphin and Met-enkephalin are endogenous opiates. [Melanocyte-stimulating hormone alpha]: Anorexigenic peptide. Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. [Beta-endorphin]: Endogenous orexigenic opiate.

CSF3
Colony stimulating factor 3.
