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

GJA3Gap junction alpha-3 protein; Structural component of lens fiber gap junctions. Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells. They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from each cell membrane (By similarity). Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore ; Belongs to the connexin family. (511 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
BFSP1
Filensin C-terminal fragment; Required for the correct formation of lens intermediate filaments.

CRYBB2
Beta-crystallin B2; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
      
 0.881
CRYBA1
Beta-crystallin A3; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
      
 0.851
CRYBB1
Beta-crystallin B1; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
      
 0.846
GJA8
Gap junction alpha-8 protein; Structural component of eye lens gap junctions. Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells. They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from each cell membrane (By similarity). Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore ; Belongs to the connexin family. Alpha-type (group II) subfamily.
     
0.822
CRYAA
Alpha-crystallin A chain; May contribute to the transparency and refractive index of the lens; Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.
      
 0.811
GJA1
Gap junction alpha-1 protein; One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. Plays an essential role in gap junction communication in the ventricles. Belongs to the connexin family. Alpha-type (group II) subfamily.
    
0.784
MIP
Lens fiber major intrinsic protein; Water channel. May be responsible for regulating the osmolarity of the lens. Interactions between homotetramers from adjoining membranes may stabilize cell junctions in the eye lens core. Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
      
 0.764
CRYAB
Alpha-crystallin B chain; May contribute to the transparency and refractive index of the lens.
      
 0.757
CRYGS
Gamma S-crystallin; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
      
 0.752
