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

pitx2Pituitary homeobox 2; Isoform a and isoform c differentially regulate mesendoderm formation and asymmetric organ development. Both isoforms regulate left-right development, but isoform a has a stronger effect on heart laterality; Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Bicoid subfamily. (314 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
lft2
Left-right determination factor.
   
  
 0.908
lft1
Left-right determination factor; Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

spaw
Southpaw.

tbx5a
T-box transcription factor TBX5-A; Required for pectoral fin formation. Together with tbx5b, involved in eye and heart development. Required for the looping stage of heart development. May bind to the core DNA motif of promoters.

ctnnb1
Catenin beta-1; Key downstream component of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway (By similarity). In the absence of Wnt, forms a complex with axin1, axin2, apc, csnk1a1 and gsk3b that promotes phosphorylation on N-terminal Ser and Thr residues and ubiquitination of ctnnb1 and its subsequent degradation by the proteasome (By similarity). In the presence of Wnt ligand, ctnnb1 is not ubiquitinated and accumulates in the nucleus, where it acts as a coactivator for transcription factors of the TCF/LEF family, leading to activate Wnt responsive genes (By similarity). Plays a key role in dorso [...]

dand5
DAN domain family, member 5.

zfhx3
Zinc finger homeobox 3.
      
 0.807
tbx3a
T-box transcription factor 3a.
   
 
 0.779
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).
