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

kdrVascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2; Receptor for VEGF or VEGFC. Has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity. Combinations of multiple VEGF receptors are required for development of different blood vessel types in the embryo. Involved in angiogenesis, specifically in VEGF-induced sprouting of new blood vessels. Particularly involved in artery formation. Does not appear to be required for hematopoiesis. (1357 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
vegfc
Vascular endothelial growth factor C; Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.
   
 0.999
vegfaa
Vascular endothelial growth factor A-A; Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis, and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Acts both upstream of kdr and tie1 to stimulate endothelial cell differentiation, and upstream of gata1 to stimulate hematopoietic cell differentiation.
   
 0.997
nrp1a
Neuropilin-1a; Receptor involved in the development of the cardiovascular system, in angiogenesis, in the formation of certain neuronal circuits and in organogenesis outside the nervous system. It mediates the chemorepulsant activity of semaphorins. Regulates angiogenesis through a VEGF-dependent pathway.
   
 0.997
vegfd
Vascular endothelial growth factor D; Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.
    
 0.995
nrp1b
Neuropilin 1b.
   
 
 0.981
vegfab
Vascular endothelial growth factor Ab; Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.
   
 0.975
ptk2ab
Protein tyrosine kinase 2ab; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family.
   
0.964
cdh5
Cadherin 5; Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins.
   
 
 0.960
pxnb
Paxillin; Cytoskeletal protein involved in actin-membrane attachment at sites of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (focal adhesion). Belongs to the paxillin family.
   
 0.956
pxna
Paxillin; Cytoskeletal protein involved in actin-membrane attachment at sites of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (focal adhesion). Belongs to the paxillin family.
