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

elo-2Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein. (274 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
let-767
Very-long-chain 3-oxooacyl-coA reductase let-767; Required for branched chain fatty acid synthesis. Catalyzes the reduction of the 3-ketoacyl-CoA intermediate that is formed in each cycle of fatty acid elongation. Very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) serve as precursors for ceramide and sphingolipids. May also be required for sterol hormone production; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. 17-beta-HSD 3 subfamily.
   
 
 0.896
fat-6
Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-6; Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase that acts preferentially on stearoyl-CoA. Also acts on vaccenyl-coA and heptadecanyol-CoA. Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family.
   
  
 0.870
fat-7
Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-7; Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase that acts preferentially on stearoyl-CoA. Also acts on vaccenyl-coA, heptadecanyol-CoA, and palmitoyl-CoA.
   
  
 0.864
fat-4
Delta(5) fatty acid desaturase fat-4; Catalyzes the desaturation of dihomo-gamma-linoleic acid (DHGLA) (20:3n-6) to generate arachidonic acid (20:4n-6). Also acts on a number of other substrates, including fatty acids that do not contain a double bond at the 8 position; Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family.
      
 0.833
fat-5
Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-5; Delta(9)-fatty-acid desaturase that acts preferentially on palmitoyl-CoA. Also acts on pentadecanoyl-coA and myristoyl-CoA.
   
  
 0.827
fat-2
Delta(12) fatty acid desaturase fat-2; Catalyzes the desaturation of oleic acid (Delta(9)-18:1, or C18:1(n-9)) to linoleic acid (Delta(9,12)-18:2, or C18:2(n-6)). This desaturation event is essential for the synthesis of longer chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as arachidonic acid (AA, or C20:4(n-6)) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, or C20:5(n-3)).
   
  
 0.821
fat-1
Omega-3 fatty acid desaturase fat-1; Omega-3 fatty acid desaturase that acts on a range of substrates. Catalyzes the desaturation of linolenic acid (18:2n-6), dihomo-gamma-linoleic acid (DHGLA) (20:3n-6), and arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), to generate gamma linolenic acid (18:3n-3), eicosatetraenoic acid (20:4n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) respectively. Although the enzyme has been suggested to act on glycerolipids, the precise nature of the fatty acid substrate is unknown.
      
 0.813
fat-3
Delta(6)-fatty-acid desaturase fat-3; Delta(6) fatty acid desaturase that acts on a range of substrates. Catalyzes the desaturation of linoleic acid (Delta(9,12)- 18:2, or C18:2(n-6)) to gamma-linolenic acid (Delta(6,9,12)-18:3, or C18:3(n-6)). Plays a role in synaptic vesicle recycling by regulating synaptojanin unc-26 localization at synapses.
   
  
 0.792
pod-2
Uncharacterized protein.
   
 
 0.792
elo-6
Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 6; Condensing enzyme that elongates saturated and monounsaturated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) and monomethyl branched-chain fatty acids (mmBCFAs). Required for the formation of isoheptadecanoate (C17iso).
