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

TMEM79Transmembrane protein 79; Contributes to the epidermal integrity and skin barrier function. Plays a role in the lamellar granule (LG) secretory system and in the stratum corneum (SC) epithelial cell formation (By similarity). (394 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
SFTPC
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein C; Pulmonary surfactant associated proteins promote alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the peripheral air spaces.

TEX264
Testis-expressed protein 264; Major reticulophagy (also called ER-phagy) receptor that acts independently of other candidate reticulophagy receptors to remodel subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum into autophagosomes upon nutrient stress, which then fuse with lysosomes for endoplasmic reticulum turnover. The ATG8- containing isolation membrane (IM) cradles a tubular segment of TEX264- positive ER near a three-way junction, allowing the formation of a synapse of 2 juxtaposed membranes with trans interaction between the TEX264 and ATG8 proteins. Expansion of the IM would extend the ca [...]

FLG
Filaggrin; Aggregates keratin intermediate filaments and promotes disulfide-bond formation among the intermediate filaments during terminal differentiation of mammalian epidermis.
   
 
 0.669
MPZL3
Myelin protein zero-like protein 3; Mediates homophilic cell-cell adhesion; Belongs to the myelin P0 protein family.
   
 
 0.650
TNMD
Tenomodulin; May be an angiogenesis inhibitor.
    
   0.596
PPL
Periplakin; Component of the cornified envelope of keratinocytes. May link the cornified envelope to desmosomes and intermediate filaments. May act as a localization signal in PKB/AKT-mediated signaling. Belongs to the plakin or cytolinker family.
   
  
 0.542
FLOT2
Flotillin-2; May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes, functionally participating in formation of caveolae or caveolae-like vesicles. May be involved in epidermal cell adhesion and epidermal structure and function; Belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family. Flotillin subfamily.
   
   0.535
SMG5
Protein SMG5; Plays a role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Does not have RNase activity by itself. Promotes dephosphorylation of UPF1. Together with SMG7 is thought to provide a link to the mRNA degradation machinery involving exonucleolytic pathways, and to serve as an adapter for UPF1 to protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), thereby triggering UPF1 dephosphorylation. Necessary for TERT activity.
   
  
 0.531
FLG2
Filaggrin-2; Essential for normal cell-cell adhesion in the cornified cell layers. Important for proper integrity and mechanical strength of the stratum corneum of the epidermis. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the S-100 family.
   
  
 0.514
GCNT2
N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase; Branching enzyme that converts linear into branched poly-N- acetyllactosaminoglycans. Introduces the blood group I antigen during embryonic development. It is closely associated with the development and maturation of erythroid cells; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 14 family.
