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

CSTL1Cystatin like 1. (145 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CST9
Cystatin-9; May be involved in testis development (By similarity). May play a role in hematopoietic differentiation or inflammation. Has immunomodulatory and antimicrobial functions against Francisella tularensis, a Gram-negative bacteria ; Belongs to the cystatin family.
   
  
 0.600
GZF1
GDNF-inducible zinc finger protein 1; Transcriptional repressor that binds the GZF1 responsive element (GRE) (consensus: 5'-TGCGCN[TG][CA]TATA-3'). May be regulating VSX2/HOX10 expression.
      
 0.511
IQCF6
IQ motif containing F6.
   
  
 0.496
CST11
Cystatin-11; Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacteria E.coli. May play a role in sperm maturation and fertilization. Belongs to the cystatin family.
  
  
0.488
NXT1
NTF2-related export protein 1; Stimulator of protein export for NES-containing proteins. Also plays a role in the nuclear export of U1 snRNA, tRNA, and mRNA. The NXF1-NXT1 heterodimer is involved in the export of HSP70 mRNA in conjunction with ALYREF/THOC4 and THOC5.
   
  
 0.452
CTSB
Cathepsin B heavy chain; Thiol protease which is believed to participate in intracellular degradation and turnover of proteins. Cleaves matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein MEPE. Involved in the solubilization of cross-linked TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen (By similarity). Has also been implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis. Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
      
 0.428
CST3
Cystatin-C; As an inhibitor of cysteine proteinases, this protein is thought to serve an important physiological role as a local regulator of this enzyme activity; Belongs to the cystatin family.
      
0.420
ACSS1
Acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase 2-like, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the synthesis of acetyl-CoA from short-chain fatty acids. Acetate is the preferred substrate. Can also utilize propionate with a much lower affinity (By similarity). Provides acetyl-CoA that is utilized mainly for oxidation under ketogenic conditions (By similarity). Involved in thermogenesis under ketogenic conditions, using acetate as a vital fuel when carbohydrate availability is insufficient (By similarity).
   
  
 0.407
OR1F1
Olfactory receptor 1F1; Odorant receptor; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
   
  
 0.400
