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

tsp-21Tetraspanin-21; Regulates cell fate specification in the postembryonic mesodermal M lineage and body size, probably by positively modulating BMP-like Sma/Mab signaling at the ligand-receptor level. Promotes ventral fate specification in the M lineage, probably by positively modulating lin-12/Notch signaling; Belongs to the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family. (301 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
drag-1
RGM domain family member drag-1; Probably in association with the cell surface receptor unc-40 positively modulates the BMP-like Sma/Mab signaling pathway through interaction with both the ligand dbl-1 and its type I receptor sma-6. Regulates body size and this may be through modulation of the Sma/Mab signaling pathway ; Belongs to the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family.
