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

APOA4Uncharacterized protein. (419 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
   
 0.949
APOA1
Proapolipoprotein A-I; Participates in the reverse transport of cholesterol from tissues to the liver for excretion by promoting cholesterol efflux from tissues and by acting as a cofactor for the lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT); Belongs to the apolipoprotein A1/A4/E family.
  
 
0.858
CETP
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein; Involved in the transfer of neutral lipids, including cholesteryl ester and triglyceride, among lipoprotein particles. Allows the net movement of cholesteryl ester from high density lipoproteins/HDL to triglyceride-rich very low density lipoproteins/VLDL, and the equimolar transport of triglyceride from VLDL to HDL. Regulates the reverse cholesterol transport, by which excess cholesterol is removed from peripheral tissues and returned to the liver for elimination (By similarity).
   
 0.834
LCAT
Phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase; Central enzyme in the extracellular metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. Synthesized mainly in the liver and secreted into plasma where it converts cholesterol and phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) to cholesteryl esters and lysophosphatidylcholines on the surface of high and low density lipoproteins (HDLs and LDLs). The cholesterol ester is then transported back to the liver. Also produced in the brain by primary astrocytes, and esterifies free cholesterol on nascent APOE- containing lipoproteins secreted from glia and influences cerebral spinal [...]
   
 
 0.754
LIPC
Lipase C, hepatic type.
   
 0.750
VTG1
Lipovitellin-1; Precursor of the egg-yolk proteins that are sources of nutrients during early development of oviparous organisms.
   
 
 0.656
VTG2
Lipovitellin-1; Precursor of the major egg-yolk proteins that are sources of nutrients during early development of oviparous organisms.
   
 
 0.644
MASP1
Uncharacterized protein; Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
   
 
 0.633
APOV1
Apovitellenin-1; Protein component of the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) of egg-laying females. Potent lipoprotein lipase inhibitor, preventing the loss of triglycerides from VLDL on their way from the liver to the growing oocytes.
   
 
 0.627
SNX24
PX domain-containing protein.
      
 0.600
