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

CTNNA2Catenin alpha-2; May function as a linker between cadherin adhesion receptors and the cytoskeleton to regulate cell-cell adhesion and differentiation in the nervous system. (905 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CTNNB1
Uncharacterized protein.
   
 0.974
AFDN
Afadin, adherens junction formation factor.
    
 0.965
CDH2
Cadherin-2; Calcium-dependent cell adhesion protein; preferentially mediates homotypic cell-cell adhesion. Cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types, and thereby play an important role during embryonic development (By similarity).
    
 0.959
ACTB
Actin, cytoplasmic 1, N-terminally processed; Actin is a highly conserved protein that polymerizes to produce filaments that form cross-linked networks in the cytoplasm of cells. Actin exists in both monomeric (G-actin) and polymeric (F-actin) forms, both forms playing key functions, such as cell motility and contraction. In addition to their role in the cytoplasmic cytoskeleton, G- and F-actin also localize in the nucleus, and regulate gene transcription and motility and repair of damaged DNA.
    
 0.942
ACTN4
Alpha-actinin-4; F-actin cross-linking protein which is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. This is a bundling protein. Probably involved in vesicular trafficking via its association with the CART complex. Involved in tight junction assembly in epithelial cells. May also function as a transcriptional coactivator, stimulating transcription mediated by nuclear hormone receptors. Belongs to the alpha-actinin family.
   
 0.931
ACTN1
Alpha-actinin-1; F-actin cross-linking protein is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. This is a bundling protein.
   
 0.920
TJP1
Tight junction protein 1; Belongs to the MAGUK family.
   
 0.918
LOC776816
Actin, cytoplasmic 2, N-terminally processed; Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells; Belongs to the actin family.
    
 0.916
CTNNA3
Uncharacterized protein.
  
  
0.903
CTNNA1
Catenin alpha 1.
  
  
0.902
