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

wunPutative phosphatidate phosphatase; Wunen (wun) encodes a lipid phosphate phosphatase with 6 transmembrane domains and an active site that is predicted to face extracellularly. It is required for germ cell migration and survival, septate junction function in the tracheal system and for heart formation; Belongs to the PA-phosphatase related phosphoesterase family. (379 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Sk2
Sphingosine kinase 2 (Sk2) encodes a D-erythro-sphingosine kinase that contributes to sphingolipid metabolism, flight performance and ovulation.
   
 0.930
mdy
O-acyltransferase; Midway (mdy) encodes an acyl coenzyme A: diacylglycerol acyltransferase that functions in the formation of triglycerides. Lack of mdy leads to female sterility and impaired fat metabolism in larvae and adults.
    
 0.928
Sk1
Sphingosine kinase 1 (Sk1) encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to sphingosine 1-phosphate, a bioactive lipid mediator. It regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, endolysosomal trafficking and muscle cell repair.
  
 0.917
Sply
Sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase; Cleaves phosphorylated sphingoid bases (PSBs), such as sphingosine-1-phosphate, into fatty aldehydes and phosphoethanolamine. Sphingolipid catabolism is required for normal development including viability, reproduction and muscle development. Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family. Sphingosine- 1-phosphate lyase subfamily.
    
 0.916
schlank
Schlank, isoform A; Schlank (schlank) encodes a member of the Ceramide Synthases family involved in sphingolipid metabolism. It is essential for ceramide synthesis and modulates triacylglycerol levels and transcriptional expression of body fat metabolism regulators.
   
 0.914
CG10425
LD07939p; 3-dehydrosphinganine reductase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: 3-keto-sphinganine metabolic process; sphingolipid biosynthetic process.
    
 0.911
Cds
Phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase, photoreceptor-specific; Catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid (PA) to CDP- diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG), an important precursor for the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG). Required for the regeneration of the signaling molecule phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) from PA and maintenance of its steady supply during signaling thus playing an essential role during phospholipase C-mediated transduction. In the salivary glands and possibly other adipose tissues, function is essential for regulating ce [...]

CDase
Neutral ceramidase; Hydrolyzes the sphingolipid ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid at an optimal pH of 6.5-7.5. Acts as a key regulator of sphingolipid signaling metabolites by generating sphingosine at the cell surface. Regulates synaptic vesicle exocytosis and trafficking by controlling presynaptic terminal sphingolipid composition. Belongs to the neutral ceramidase family.
     
 0.906
bwa
Alkaline ceramidase; Hydrolyzes the sphingolipid ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid; Belongs to the alkaline ceramidase family.
     
 0.905
ifc
Sphingolipid delta-4 desaturase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: spermatogenesis; spindle assembly involved in male meiosis; ceramide biosynthetic process; Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family. DEGS subfamily.
