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

SLC31A2Probable low affinity copper uptake protein 2; Involved in low-affinity copper uptake. (143 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ATP7B
Copper-transporting ATPase 2; Copper ion transmembrane transporter involved in the export of copper out of the cells. It is involved in copper homeostasis in the liver, where it ensures the efflux of copper from hepatocytes into the bile in response to copper overload. Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type IB subfamily.
    
 
 0.930
ATP7A
Copper-transporting ATPase 1; May supply copper to copper-requiring proteins within the secretory pathway, when localized in the trans-Golgi network. Under conditions of elevated extracellular copper, it relocalized to the plasma membrane where it functions in the efflux of copper from cells; Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type IB subfamily.
    
 
 0.910
ATOX1
Copper transport protein ATOX1; Binds and deliver cytosolic copper to the copper ATPase proteins. May be important in cellular antioxidant defense; Belongs to the ATX1 family.
   
  
 0.815
COX17
Cytochrome c oxidase copper chaperone; Copper metallochaperone essential for the assembly of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV (CIV), also known as cytochrome c oxidase. Binds two copper ions and delivers them to the metallochaperone SCO1 which transports the copper ions to the Cu(A) site on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (MT-CO2/COX2).
   
  
 0.770
CCS
Copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase; Delivers copper to copper zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1); In the C-terminal section; belongs to the Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase family.
      
 0.714
COX11
Cytochrome c oxidase assembly protein COX11, mitochondrial; Exerts its effect at some terminal stage of cytochrome c oxidase synthesis, probably by being involved in the insertion of the copper B into subunit I.
      
 0.581
SLC11A1
Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1; Divalent transition metal (iron and manganese) transporter involved in iron metabolism and host resistance to certain pathogens. Macrophage-specific membrane transport function. Controls natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites. Pathogen resistance involves sequestration of Fe(2+) and Mn(2+), cofactors of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic catalases and superoxide dismutases, not only to protect the macrophage against its own generation of reactive oxygen species, but to deny the cations to the pathogen for synthesis [...]
   
  
 0.525
SCO1
Protein SCO1 homolog, mitochondrial; Copper metallochaperone essential for the maturation of cytochrome c oxidase subunit II (MT-CO2/COX2). Not required for the synthesis of MT-CO2/COX2 but plays a crucial role in stabilizing MT- CO2/COX2 during its subsequent maturation. Involved in transporting copper to the Cu(A) site on MT-CO2/COX2. Plays an important role in the regulation of copper homeostasis by controlling the abundance and cell membrane localization of copper transporter CTR1 (By similarity). Belongs to the SCO1/2 family.
   
 
 0.523
SLC6A8
Sodium- and chloride-dependent creatine transporter 1; Required for the uptake of creatine in muscles and brain.
   
 
 0.513
MT1E
Metallothionein; Metallothioneins have a high content of cysteine residues that bind various heavy metals.
   
 
 0.507
