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.

TFOvotransferrin; Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe(3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. Responsible for the transport of iron from sites of absorption and heme degradation to those of storage and utilization. There are two forms of hen transferrin, ovotransferrin, found in the ovoducts and, serum transferrin, secreted by the liver. Serum transferrin may also have a role in stimulating cell proliferation and is regulated by iron levels. Ovotransferrin has a bacteriostatic function and, is not controlled by iron levels. (756 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
OVAL
Ovalbumin; Non-inhibitory serpin. Storage protein of egg white.
   
 
 0.974
SPINK7
Ovomucoid; Serine protease inhibitor. Inhibits trypsin.
      
 0.973
TFRC
Transferrin receptor protein 1; Cellular uptake of iron occurs via receptor-mediated endocytosis of ligand-occupied transferrin receptor into specialized endosomes. Endosomal acidification leads to iron release. The apotransferrin-receptor complex is then recycled to the cell surface with a return to neutral pH and the concomitant loss of affinity of apotransferrin for its receptor. Transferrin receptor is necessary for development of erythrocytes and the nervous system (By similarity). Belongs to the peptidase M28 family. M28B subfamily.
  
 0.967
LOC101749502
Uncharacterized protein.
      
 0.862
SPINK5
Ovoinhibitor; Seems to have at least five active inhibitory domains; two for trypsin, two for chymotrypsin and one for elastase.
   
  
 0.857
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.
   
  
 0.852
OVST
Ovostatin; Is able to inhibit all four classes of proteinases by a unique 'trapping' mechanism. This protein has a peptide stretch, called the 'bait region' which contains specific cleavage sites for different proteinases. When a proteinase cleaves the bait region, a conformational change is induced in the protein which traps the proteinase. The entrapped enzyme remains active against low molecular weight substrates (activity against high molecular weight substrates is greatly reduced).
   
  
 0.852
ORM1
Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein; Functions as transport protein in the blood stream. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
   
 
 0.814
LYZ
Lysozyme C; Lysozymes have primarily a bacteriolytic function; those in tissues and body fluids are associated with the monocyte-macrophage system and enhance the activity of immunoagents. Has bacteriolytic activity against M.luteus; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 22 family.
   
 
 0.813
RARRES1
Ovocalyxin-32; Component of the matrix of the eggshell.
   
  
 0.799
