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

EGFUncharacterized protein. (1283 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
EGFR
Epidermal growth factor receptor; Receptor tyrosine kinase binding ligands of the EGF family and activating several signaling cascades to convert extracellular cues into appropriate cellular responses. Known ligands include EGF and TGFA/TGF-alpha. Ligand binding triggers receptor homo- and/or heterodimerization and autophosphorylation on key cytoplasmic residues (By similarity). The phosphorylated receptor recruits adapter proteins like GRB2 which in turn activates complex downstream signaling cascades (By similarity). Activates at least 4 major downstream signaling cascades including [...]

FGF2
Fibroblast growth factor 2; Acts as a ligand for FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. Also acts as an integrin ligand which is required for FGF2 signaling. Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, cell differentiation and cell migration. Functions as a potent mitogen in vitro. Can induce angiogenesis; Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
    
 
 0.986
HGF
Hepatocyte growth factor; Potent mitogen for mature parenchymal hepatocyte cells, seems to be a hepatotrophic factor, and acts as a growth factor for a broad spectrum of tissues and cell types. Activating ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase MET by binding to it and promoting its dimerization. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Plasminogen subfamily.
     
 0.985
ERBB4
Receptor protein-tyrosine kinase.
   
 0.977
PDGFRA
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha; Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for PDGFA, PDGFB and PDGFC and plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, survival and chemotaxis. Depending on the context, promotes or inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration. Plays an important role in the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Required for normal skeleton development. Required for normal development of the gastrointestinal tract. Plays a role in cell migration and chemotaxis in wound he [...]
     
 0.974
ERBB2
Receptor protein-tyrosine kinase.
    
 0.972
INS
Insulin A chain; Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver.
      
 0.964
ERBB3
Protein kinase domain-containing protein.
    
 0.964
FGF5
Fibroblast growth factor; Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
    
 
 0.959
FGF4
Fibroblast growth factor 4; Plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, and cell differentiation. Required for normal limb development during embryogenesis (By similarity).
