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

fgf8bFibroblast growth factor 8b; May act as signaling molecule during development of the midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB) organizer, and be involved in patterning of the nervous system. (212 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fgfr1a
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1-A; Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. Required for normal mesoderm patterning and normal skeletogenesis. Phosphorylates PLCG1, FRS2, GAB1 and SHB. Ligand binding leads to the activation of several signaling cascades. Activation of PLCG1 leads to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate. Phosphorylation of FRS2 triggers [...]

fgfr2
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2; Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis, and in the regulation of embryonic development. Required for normal embryonic patterning, limb bud development, lung morphogenesis, osteogenesis and skin development. Plays an essential role in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, and is required for normal skeleton development. Promotes cell proliferation in kerati [...]

fgfr3
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3; Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Plays an essential role in the regulation of chondrocyte differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, and is required for normal skeleton development. Regulates both osteogenesis and postnatal bone mineralization by osteoblasts. Promotes apoptosis in chondrocytes, but can also promote cancer cell proliferation. Phosphorylates PLCG1, CBL and FRS2. Ligand binding l [...]

fgfr4
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4; Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and migration, and in regulation of lipid metabolism, bile acid biosynthesis, glucose uptake, vitamin D metabolism and phosphate homeostasis. Required for normal down- regulation of the expression of CYP7A1, the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid synthesis, in response to FGF19. Phosphorylates PLCG1 and FRS2. Ligand binding leads to the activation of several signaling cascades. Activation o [...]

LOC569566
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1b,-like.
    
 0.749
pdgfra
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha; Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for pdgfa, pdgfb and pdgfc and plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, survival and chemotaxis. Depending on the context, promotes or inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration. Plays an important role in the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Required for normal skeleton development. Required for normal development of the gastrointestinal tract. Plays a role in cell migration and chemotaxis in wound [...]

kitb
Mast/stem cell growth factor receptor; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. CSF-1/PDGF receptor subfamily.
   
 0.728
kdr
Vascular 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.
   
 0.714
kita
Mast/stem cell growth factor receptor kita; Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for the cytokine kitlg/scf and plays a role in the regulation of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, and in mast cell development, migration and function. Required for the migration of cells in the melanocyte lineage and the survival of embryonic melanocytes. Required for the differentiation of some, but not all, melanocytes. Not essential for hematopoiesis or primordial germ cell development.
