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

CTSVCathepsin L1 heavy chain; Important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes; Belongs to the peptidase C1 family. (353 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CTSS
Uncharacterized protein; Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
  
0.932
BCL2
Apoptosis regulator Bcl-2; Suppresses apoptosis in a variety of cell systems including factor-dependent lymphohematopoietic and neural cells. Regulates cell death by controlling the mitochondrial membrane permeability. Appears to function in a feedback loop system with caspases. Inhibits caspase activity either by preventing the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria and/or by binding to the apoptosis-activating factor (APAF-1).
   
 
 0.915
BID
BH3-interacting domain death agonist; Induces caspases and apoptosis. Counters the protective effect of Bcl-2 (By similarity).
   
 
 0.906
LOC420160
Uncharacterized protein; Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
  
  
0.903
BCL2L1
Bcl-2-like protein 1; Dominant regulator of apoptotic cell death. The long form displays cell death repressor activity, whereas the short isoform promotes apoptosis. Also acts as a regulator of G2 checkpoint and progression to cytokinesis during mitosis (By similarity).
     
 0.901
CST3
Cystatin; This protein binds tightly to and inhibits a variety of thiol proteases including ficin, papain, and cathepsins B, C, H, and L. Although isolated from egg white, it is also present in serum.
   
 
 0.891
CTSD
Cathepsin D heavy chain; Acid protease active in intracellular protein breakdown. In chicken it is a key enzyme for yolk formation as it is capable of catalyzing intra oocytic break down of protein components of both vitellogenin and VLDL.
   
 
 0.874
TMPRSS2
Transmembrane serine protease 2; Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
 
 
  
 0.867
LGMN
Legumain.
   
  
 0.828
FURIN
Trans Golgi network protease furin; Belongs to the peptidase S8 family.
   
 
 0.811
