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

HBEGFProheparin-binding EGF-like growth factor; May be involved in macrophage-mediated cellular proliferation. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts and smooth muscle but not endothelial cells. It is able to bind EGF receptor/EGFR with higher affinity than EGF itself and is a far more potent mitogen for smooth muscle cells than EGF (By similarity). Plays an important role in the proper development of cranial nerves by inhibiting the migration of the cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) into the odd-numbered neuromeres (r3 and r5) of the hindbrain Plays a role in mediating v-Jun-induced oncogenic tra [...] (212 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
EGFR
Epidermal growth factor receptor; Receptor tyrosine kinase binding ligands of the EGF family and activating several signaling cascades to convert extracellular cues into appropriate cellular responses. Known ligands include EGF and TGFA/TGF-alpha. Ligand binding triggers receptor homo- and/or heterodimerization and autophosphorylation on key cytoplasmic residues (By similarity). The phosphorylated receptor recruits adapter proteins like GRB2 which in turn activates complex downstream signaling cascades (By similarity). Activates at least 4 major downstream signaling cascades including [...]
