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

CRYBB2Beta-crystallin B2; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens. (205 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
   
 
 0.955
GJA3
Gap 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.
      
 0.881
CRYAB
Alpha-crystallin B chain; May contribute to the transparency and refractive index of the lens.
   
 
 0.847
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.
   
  
 0.801
BFSP1
Filensin C-terminal fragment; Required for the correct formation of lens intermediate filaments.
      
 0.763
CHMP4B
Charged multivesicular body protein 4b; Probable core component of the endosomal sorting required for transport complex III (ESCRT-III) which is involved in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. MVBs contain intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) that are generated by invagination and scission from the limiting membrane of the endosome and mostly are delivered to lysosomes enabling degradation of membrane proteins, such as stimulated growth factor receptors, lysosomal enzymes and lipids (By similarity).
      
 0.718
CRYGS
Gamma S-crystallin; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
  
 
0.636
RAB3GAP1
RAB3 GTPase activating protein catalytic subunit 1.
   
  
 0.629
FBXL7
F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 7.
      
 0.623
ASL1
Delta-1 crystallin; Delta crystallin, the principal crystallin in embryonic lens, is found only in birds and reptiles; Belongs to the lyase 1 family. Argininosuccinate lyase subfamily.
      
 0.581
