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

pdx1Pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1. (246 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ins
Insulin A chain; Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver.
   
  
 0.881
neurog3
Neurog3 protein.
   
  
 0.863
insb
Insulin; Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver.
   
  
 0.856
gcgb
Glucagon b.
   
  
 0.855
ptf1a
Pancreas transcription factor 1 subunit alpha; Transcription factor implicated in the cell fate determination in various organs. Binds to the E-box consensus sequence 5'-CANNTG-3'. Required for exocrine pancreatic development. Plays a central role in directing the differentiation of retinal progenitors towards horizontal and amacrine fates.
   
 
 0.854
pax4
Paired box 4.
   
 
 0.848
neurod1
Neurogenic differentiation factor 1; May act as a transcriptional activator. Differentiation factor required for neurogenesis. Acts as an upstream activator of isl1.
   
  
 0.763
mafaa
Transcription factor MafAa; Transcription factor, possibly involved in transcription regulation during lens development, including that of crystallin genes. Specifically binds to the alphaCE2 enhancer element of crystallin gene.
   
 
 0.760
foxa2
Forkhead box protein A2; May play a crucial role in specification of both the axial mesendoderm and the ventral nervous system.
   
 
 0.674
isl1
Insulin gene enhancer protein isl-1; DNA-binding transcriptional activator. Recognizes and binds to the consensus octamer binding site 5'-ATAATTAA-3' in promoter of target genes. Plays a fundamental role in the gene regulatory network essential for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) differentiation. May be involved in subtype specialization of primary motoneurons. May bind to insulin gene enhancer sequences. Essential for heart development (By similarity).
