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

NKX2-6Homeobox protein Nkx-2.6; Acts as a transcriptional activator. In conjunction with NKX2-5, may play a role in both pharyngeal and cardiac embryonic development. (301 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CFC1
Cryptic protein; NODAL coreceptor involved in the correct establishment of the left-right axis. May play a role in mesoderm and/or neural patterning during gastrulation; Belongs to the EGF-CFC (Cripto-1/FRL1/Cryptic) family.
      
 0.779
GDF1
Embryonic growth/differentiation factor 1; May mediate cell differentiation events during embryonic development.
      
 0.692
TBX1
T-box transcription factor TBX1; Probable transcriptional regulator involved in developmental processes. Is required for normal development of the pharyngeal arch arteries (By similarity).
    
 
 0.671
GATA4
Transcription factor GATA-4; Transcriptional activator that binds to the consensus sequence 5'-AGATAG-3' and plays a key role in cardiac development and function. In cooperation with TBX5, it binds to cardiac super-enhancers and promotes cardiomyocyte gene expression, while it downregulates endocardial and endothelial gene expression. Involved in bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-mediated induction of cardiac-specific gene expression. Binds to BMP response element (BMPRE) DNA sequences within cardiac activating regions (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional activator of ANF in coope [...]

TBX20
T-box transcription factor TBX20; Acts as a transcriptional activator and repressor required for cardiac development and may have key roles in the maintenance of functional and structural phenotypes in adult heart.
