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

lipCProbable esterase LipC; Esterase that can hydrolyze short-chain esters with the carbon chain containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms. Does not have lipase activity. Is highly immunogenic and elicits strong humoral immune responses in both HIV-negative (HIV-) and HIV-positive (HIV+) tuberculosis (TB) patients. Also elicits proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine responses from macrophages and pulmonary epithelial cells. May participate in the progression of active tuberculosis both by contributing to the utilization of lipid substrates for bacterial growth and replication, and by modulating immu [...] (403 aa)
