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

en1aHomeobox protein engrailed-1a. (231 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fgf8a
Fibroblast growth factor 8; Plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration (By similarity). Required for Kupffer's vesicle ciliogenesis.
   
  
 0.777
wnt1
Protein Wnt-1; Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Acts in the canonical Wnt signaling pathway by promoting beta-catenin-dependent transcriptional activation (By similarity). Involved in neurogenesis. Performs a partially redundant function with wnt10b in the formation of the midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB) organizer. In the hindbrain, mediates lateral inhibition of boundary cell specification, probably via up-regulation of proneural and Delta gene expression in non-boundary cells; localized expression of wnt1 in boundary cells is maintained vi [...]
      
 0.703
pax2a
Paired box protein Pax-2a; Probable transcription factor involved in the development of the midbrain/hindbrain boundary (MHB) organizer and specification of neuronal cell fates. Required for establishment of eng2 and eng3 gene expression in the midbrain and MHB primordium during late gastrulation.
   
  
 0.699
shha
Sonic hedgehog protein A N-product; Sonic hedgehog protein: The C-terminal part of the sonic hedgehog protein precursor displays an autoproteolysis and a cholesterol transferase activity (By similarity). Both activities result in the cleavage of the full-length protein into two parts (ShhN and ShhC) followed by the covalent attachment of a cholesterol moiety to the C-terminal of the newly generated ShhN (By similarity). Both activities occur in the reticulum endoplasmic (By similarity). Once cleaved, ShhC is degraded in the endoplasmic reticulum (By similarity).
   
  
 0.691
otx2b
Homeobox protein OTX2; May play a role in very early embryogenesis, gastrulation, and the development and subdivision of the diencephalon and the midbrain.
   
  
 0.652
nkx2.2a
Homeobox protein Nkx-2.2a; Transcriptional activator involved in the development of insulin-producting beta cells in the endocrine pancreas (By similarity). May also be involved in specifying diencephalic neuromeric boundaries, and in controlling the expression of genes that play a role in axonal guidance. Binds to elements within the NEUROD1 promoter (By similarity).
   
  
 0.624
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).
   
 
 0.577
vsx2
Visual system homeobox 2; Acts as a transcriptional regulator (By similarity). Mediates the differentiation of V2a interneurons (By similarity). Plays a role in eye development and organization of the neuroretina.
   
  
 0.572
irx3a
Iroquois 3 homeobox protein.
   
 
 0.526
pax5
Paired box 5.
   
  
 0.506
