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

TTRTransthyretin; Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain. (168 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
RBP4A
Retinol-binding protein 4; Retinol-binding protein that mediates retinol transport in blood plasma. Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. Transfers the bound all-trans retinol to STRA6, that then facilitates retinol transport across the cell membrane. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
   
 0.997
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.

STRA6
Uncharacterized protein.
     
 0.853
GC
Uncharacterized protein.

LOC112531842
Transthyretin; Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain.
  
  
0.807
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.
   
 
 0.806
LOC101747367
Uncharacterized protein.
  
 
 0.800
AHSG
Alpha 2-HS glycoprotein.
   
  
 0.783
ORM1
Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein; Functions as transport protein in the blood stream. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
   
  
 0.699
FGA
Fibrinogen alpha chain; Cleaved by the protease thrombin to yield monomers which, together with fibrinogen beta (FGB) and fibrinogen gamma (FGG), polymerize to form an insoluble fibrin matrix. Fibrin has a major function in hemostasis as one of the primary components of blood clots.
