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

sox2Transcription factor Sox-2; Transcriptional activator. May function as a switch in neuronal development (By similarity). Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal (By similarity). (315 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
pou5f3
POU domain, class 5, transcription factor 1; Involved in early development of embryos, especially in the process of gastrulation. May play an important role in establishing and specifying rhombomeric segments. Seems to be required to maintain the cells in a highly undifferentiated state. In contrast to POU2, T-POU2 lacks DNA-binding activity because of its incomplete pou domain structure. Overexpression of POU2 does not have any effect on development, whereas overexpression of t-POU2 causes developmental retardation or arrest before gastrulation; Belongs to the POU transcription factor [...]

klf4
Kruppel-like factor 4.
   
 
 0.995
klf17
Kruppel-like factor 17.
    
 
 0.994
myca
Transcriptional regulator Myc-A; Transcription factor that binds DNA in a non-specific manner, yet also specifically recognizes the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. Activates the transcription of growth-related genes.
   
  
 0.957
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 [...]
   
 0.945
nanog
Ovary-expressed homeobox protein.
   
  
 0.930
pax6a
Paired box protein Pax-6; Transcription factor expressed in spatially restricted regions of the neural tube during embryonic development; Belongs to the paired homeobox family.
   
 
 0.916
otx2b
Homeobox protein OTX2; May play a role in very early embryogenesis, gastrulation, and the development and subdivision of the diencephalon and the midbrain.
   
 
 0.886
lin28a
Protein lin-28 homolog A; RNA-binding protein that inhibits processing of pre-let-7 miRNAs and regulates translation of mRNAs that control developmental timing, pluripotency and metabolism. Seems to recognize a common structural G-quartet (G4) feature in its miRNA and mRNA targets (By similarity). 'Translational enhancer' that drives specific mRNAs to polysomes and increases the efficiency of protein synthesis. Its association with the translational machinery and target mRNAs results in an increased number of initiation events per molecule of mRNA and, indirectly, in mRNA stabilization [...]
   
 
 0.881
gfap
Glial fibrillary acidic protein; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
