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

Score
TYRP15,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid oxidase; Plays a role in melanin biosynthesis. Catalyzes the oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) into indole-5,6- quinone-2-carboxylic acid. May regulate or influence the type of melanin synthesized. Also to a lower extent, capable of hydroxylating tyrosine and producing melanin. (536 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
DCT
L-dopachrome tautomerase; Catalyzes the conversion of L-dopachrome into 5,6- dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA). Involved in regulating eumelanin and phaeomelanin levels.
  
 
0.941
PMEL
Melanocyte protein PMEL; Might be required for polymerization of melanin onto the core structure of melanosomes with enzymic function of tyrosinase; Belongs to the PMEL/NMB family.
   
  
 0.915
SLC45A2
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.905
MC1R
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor; Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta) and ACTH. Does not seem to be active with gamma-MSH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase (By similarity). Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
    
 
 0.904
OCA2
OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein.
   
  
 0.903
MLANA
Melan-A.
   
  
 0.887
SLC24A5
Solute carrier family 24 member 5; Belongs to the Ca(2+):cation antiporter (CaCA) (TC 2.A.19) family.
   
  
 0.879
MITF
BHLH domain-containing protein.
    
 
 0.876
ASIP
Agouti signaling protein.
      
 0.860
GPR143
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.774
