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:
some 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

CALB2Calbindin 2; Calretinin; Calretinin is a calcium-binding protein which is abundant in auditory neurons; EF-hand domain containing (271 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
PVALB
Parvalbumin alpha; In muscle, parvalbumin is thought to be involved in relaxation after contraction. It binds two calcium ions; EF-hand domain containing
   
  
 0.948
SST
Somatostatin; Somatostatin inhibits the release of somatotropin; Endogenous ligands
   
  
 0.869
GAD1
Glutamate decarboxylase 1; Catalyzes the production of GABA; Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family
   
 
 0.859
NPY
Pro-neuropeptide Y; NPY is implicated in the control of feeding and in secretion of gonadotrophin-release hormone; Belongs to the NPY family
   
  
 0.846
CCK
Cholecystokinin; This peptide hormone induces gall bladder contraction and the release of pancreatic enzymes in the gut. Its function in the brain is not clear. Binding to CCK-A receptors stimulates amylase release from the pancreas, binding to CCK-B receptors stimulates gastric acid secretion; Endogenous ligands
   
  
 0.800
TH
Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase; Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons; Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family
   
  
 0.798
GAD2
Glutamate decarboxylase 2; Catalyzes the production of GABA
   
 
 0.792
WT1
Wilms tumor protein; Transcription factor that plays an important role in cellular development and cell survival. Recognizes and binds to the DNA sequence 5'-GCG(T/G)GGGCG-3'. Regulates the expression of numerous target genes, including EPO. Plays an essential role for development of the urogenital system. It has a tumor suppressor as well as an oncogenic role in tumor formation. Function may be isoform-specific: isoforms lacking the KTS motif may act as transcription factors. Isoforms containing the KTS motif may bind mRNA and play a role in mRNA metabolism or splicing. Isoform 1 has [...]

CHAT
Choline O-acetyltransferase; Catalyzes the reversible synthesis of acetylcholine (ACh) from acetyl CoA and choline at cholinergic synapses; Belongs to the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family
   
  
 0.776
RBFOX3
RNA binding protein fox-1 homolog 3; Pre-mRNA alternative splicing regulator. Regulates alternative splicing of RBFOX2 to enhance the production of mRNA species that are targeted for nonsense-mediated decay (NMD); RNA binding motif containing
