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

Score
SPARCSPARC; Appears to regulate cell growth through interactions with the extracellular matrix and cytokines. Binds calcium and copper, several types of collagen, albumin, thrombospondin, PDGF and cell membranes. There are two calcium binding sites; an acidic domain that binds 5 to 8 Ca(2+) with a low affinity and an EF-hand loop that binds a Ca(2+) ion with a high affinity (By similarity). (298 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
LUM
Lumican; Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class II subfamily.
   
  
 0.976
COL3A1
Collagen alpha-1(III) chain; Collagen type III occurs in most soft connective tissues along with type I collagen.
   
 
 0.973
SPP1
Osteopontin; Binds tightly to hydroxyapatite. Appears to form an integral part of the mineralized matrix. Probably important to cell-matrix interaction; Belongs to the osteopontin family.
   
  
 0.949
DCN
Decorin; May affect the rate of fibrils formation; Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class I subfamily.
   
  
 0.863
BGLAP
Osteocalcin; Constitutes 1-2% of the total bone protein. It binds strongly to apatite and calcium.
   
  
 0.813
APOB
Apolipoprotein B; Apolipoprotein B is a major protein constituent of chylomicrons, VLDL and LDL. It functions as a recognition signal for the cellular binding and internalization of LDL particles by the apoB/E receptor.
   
 
  0.801
ALB
Serum albumin; Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood; Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family.
   
  
 0.795
RUNX2
Runt-related transcription factor.
      
 0.782
VTN
SMB domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.762
STAB1
Stabilin 1.
     
 0.761
