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

prcPericardin (prc) encodes a type IV collagen-like extracellular matrix protein involved in heart development. (1713 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
vkg
Viking, isoform A; Viking (vkg) encodes a subunit of Collagen IV and a major component of basement membranes. It is secreted by haemocytes and fat body cells and is required for the normal morphogenesis of many tissues. It also contributes to TGF-beta signalling in the early embryo and the developing Malpighian tubules.
   
 0.988
Col4a1
Collagen alpha-1(IV) chain; Collagen type IV alpha 1 (Col4a1) encodes a subunit of Collagen IV and a major component of basement membranes. It is required for muscle and epithelium integrity.
   
 
0.941
LanA
Laminin subunit alpha; Binding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. Activates presynaptic signaling involving integrin alpha-PS3/beta-nu and Fak to suppress neuromuscular junction (NMJ) growth during larval development and during low crawling activity, but not during higher-crawling conditions. Mediates, together with integrin alpha-PS3/beta-nu, glutamate receptor-modulated NMJ growth.

loh
Lonely heart (loh) encodes a protein involved in larval heart development and regulation of the extracellular matrix assembly.
   
 
 0.767
tin
Muscle-specific homeobox protein tinman; Required for the development of heart and visceral muscle; for the formation of somatic muscles. Has a crucial function in the early mesodermal subdivisions.
    
 
 0.676
Mef2
Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2; Transcription factor that could be a key player in early mesoderm differentiation and may be required for subsequent cell fate specifications within the somatic and visceral/heart mesodermal layers. Essential for myoblast fusion and consequently muscle formation in adults. During embryonic and pupal development, binds to the enhancer of the myoblast fusion gene sing and activates its transcription. Belongs to the MEF2 family.
      
 0.637
Hand
FI14601p; Hand (Hand) encodes a transcription factor that contributes to cardiogenesis, hemopoiesis, and muscle function.
      
 0.609
LanB2
Laminin B2 (LanB2) encodes a subunit of laminin, a heterotrimeric protein found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and a major component of the basal lamina. Laminins interact with a variety of cell surface molecules such as integrin receptors and other secreted ECM components. It contributes to ECM organization, tissue adhesion, cell motility and developmental patterning.
   
 
 0.589
LanB1
LanB1 (LanB1) encodes a subunit of laminin, a heterotrimeric protein found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and a major component of the basal lamina. Laminins interact with a variety of cell surface molecules such as integrin receptors and other secreted ECM components. It contributes to ECM organization, tissue adhesion, cell motility and developmental patterning.
