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

fz4Frizzled-4; Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most of frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes. A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as PKC seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of GSK-3 kinase. Both pathways seem to i [...] (705 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
arr
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein; Arrow (arr) encodes a type I trans-membrane protein and functions as an obligate co-receptor with the product of fz for the ligand encoded by wg in the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. The product of arr is involved in developmental patterning, cell survival and growth regulation; Belongs to the LDLR family.
   
 0.990
dsh
Segment polarity protein dishevelled; Required to establish coherent arrays of polarized cells and segments in embryos. Plays a role in wingless (wg) signaling, possibly through the reception of the wg signal by target cells and subsequent redistribution of arm protein in response to that signal in embryos. This signal seems to be required to establish planar cell polarity and identity.
    
 0.981
Wnt5
Protein Wnt-5; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Probable developmental protein. May be a signaling molecule which affects the development of discrete regions of tissues. Is likely to signal over only few cell diameters. May have a role in limb and CNS development; may be a downstream target of Dll that acts in the specification of these primordia; Belongs to the Wnt family.
  
 0.976
wntD
Wnt inhibitor of Dorsal protein; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Belongs to the Wnt family.
    
 0.969
drl
Tyrosine-protein kinase Drl; Probable coreceptor of Wnt proteins. Involved in neuronal pathway recognition and ventral muscle attachment site selection. Non- vital for development. May be part of a signal transduction cascade involved in learning and possibly memory.
   
 0.929
Ror
Ror (Ror) encodes a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase structurally related to vertebrate neural-specific Wnt-binding Ror receptors. It is primarily expressed in the nervous system and it is likely to signal through the ERK MAP kinase pathway.
    
 0.927
dnt
Tyrosine-protein kinase Dnt; Doughnut on 2 (dnt) encodes a Ryk family Wnt receptor-tyrosine kinase-related protein. It can form homo- and heterodimers with the other two Ryks (encoded by Drl-2 and drl) via binding the ligand encoded by Wnt5. dnt and drl products act during embryonic muscle attachment site selection.
   
 0.917
dlp
Dally-like, isoform A; Dally-like (dlp) encodes a glypican that regulates the signaling strength and range of the morphogens encoded by hh and wg; Belongs to the glypican family.
   
 
 0.915
Wnt6
Wnt oncogene analog 6 (Wnt6) encodes a member of the Wnt family that can activate canonical Wnt signaling. It is expressed in the dorsal/ventral boundary of the wing and the maxillary palp. It contributes to maxillary palp formation.
    
 0.913
wg
Protein wingless; Binds as a ligand to a family of frizzled seven-transmembrane receptors and acts through a cascade of genes on the nucleus. Segment polarity protein. May be a growth factor. Acts on neighboring cells to regulate at least one gene, the homeobox segmentation gene engrailed. Wg signal represses arm phosphorylation. Wg signaling operates by inactivating the sgg repression of engrailed autoactivation. Wg and Wnt2 have a role in the developing trachea and together are responsible for all dorsal trunk formation. Wg also acts in the developing epidermis. Acts as a morphogen, [...]
