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

CASP2Caspase-2 subunit p12; Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival. (441 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
BID
BH3-interacting domain death agonist; Induces caspases and apoptosis. Counters the protective effect of Bcl-2 (By similarity).
   
 0.937
LRRC27
Death domain-containing protein.
    
 0.918
APAF1
Apoptotic protease-activating factor 1; Oligomeric Apaf-1 mediates the cytochrome c-dependent autocatalytic activation of pro-caspase-9 (Apaf-3), leading to the activation of caspase-3 and apoptosis. This activation requires ATP.
   
 
 0.912
CYCS
Cytochrome c; Electron carrier protein. The oxidized form of the cytochrome c heme group can accept an electron from the heme group of the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase. Cytochrome c then transfers this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain.
   
 
 0.808
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).
    
 
 0.787
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).
   
 
 0.767
BCL2L14
Uncharacterized protein.
    
 
 0.753
BIRC8
Inhibitor of apoptosis protein 3.
   
 
 0.744
ENSGALP00000045724
Uncharacterized protein.
    
 
 0.608
FADD
Fas associated via death domain.
   
 
 0.595
