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

mstnbGrowth/differentiation factor 8; Acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. May down-regulate muscle-specific transcription factors such as myod and myog. (374 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
acvr1ba
Receptor protein serine/threonine kinase; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. TGFB receptor subfamily.
   
 0.984
LOC100331938
Serine/threonine-protein kinase receptor; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. TGFB receptor subfamily.
    
 0.976

fstb
Follistatin 2.
    
 
 0.964
fsta
Follistatin-A; Binds directly to activin and functions as an activin antagonist. Specific inhibitor of the biosynthesis and secretion of pituitary follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) (By similarity). Inhibits bmp-signaling during later stages of development including late phases of dorsoventral patterning, to refine the early pattern set up by the interaction of chordino and bmp2/4. Not involved in organizer function or early phases of dorsoventral pattern formation.
