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

Score
NrtNeurotactin; May mediate or modulate cell adhesion between embryonic cells during development; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family. (846 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Ama
Protein amalgam.
   
 
 0.928
Nrg
Neuroglian; The long isoform may play a role in neural and glial cell adhesion in the developing embryo. The short isoform may be a more general cell adhesion molecule involved in other tissues and imaginal disk morphogenesis. Vital for embryonic development. Essential for septate junctions. Septate junctions, which are the equivalent of vertebrates tight junctions, are characterized by regular arrays of transverse structures that span the intermembrane space and form a physical barrier to diffusion. Required for the blood-brain barrier formation.
   
 
 0.742
CadN
Neural-cadherin; Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. May associate with arm neural isoform and participate in the transmission of developmental information.
   
  
 0.683
brp
Bruchpilot, isoform J; Bruchpilot (brp) encodes a cytoskeletal protein critical for structural integrity of electron-dense projection (T-bar) at pre-active zones. It contributes to Ca[2+] channel clustering, size regulation of the synaptic vesicle readily releaseable pool and anesthesia-resistant memory formation.
      
 0.604
Dtg
Dpp target protein; It is involved in the biological process described with: gastrulation.
   
  
 0.603
Ace
Acetylcholinesterase 16 kDa subunit; Acetylcholine esterase (Ace) encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to acetate and choline, thus resetting the neurotransmission mechanism at neuromuscular junctions; Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
  
 
0.575
Est-P
Esterase P; Carboxylic ester hydrolase activity; Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
  
  
0.565
Est-6
Esterase-6; Transferred from the ejaculatory bulbs of males to the female genitals upon copulation, plays an important role in the reproductive biology.
  
  
0.564
CG4757
Carboxylic ester hydrolase activity; Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
  
  
0.551
Fas2
Fasciclin-2; Neuronal recognition molecule for the MP1 axon pathway, pathway recognition for axons during the development of nerve fascicles.
   
 
 0.550
