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

LOC422154START domain-containing protein. (316 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
PCTP
Phosphatidylcholine transfer protein.
      
 0.848
STAR
Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial; Plays a key role in steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the metabolism of cholesterol into pregnenolone. Mediates the transfer of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it is cleaved to pregnenolone (By similarity).
      
 0.754
CAV2
Caveolin; May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes. Interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity; Belongs to the caveolin family.
      
 0.532
CAV3
Caveolin; May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes. Interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity; Belongs to the caveolin family.
      
 0.501
PIRT
Phosphoinositide interacting regulator of transient receptor potential channels.
      
 0.447
STARD5
StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 5.
      
 0.440
CAV1
Caveolin-1; May act as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation. May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes. Interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity (By similarity).
      
 0.428
STARD3
StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 3.
      
 0.416
