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

ST8SIA3Sia-alpha-2,3-Gal-beta-1,4-GlcNAc-R:alpha 2,8-sialyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from a CMP-linked sialic acid donor onto the terminal sialic acid of an acceptor through alpha-2,8-linkages. Is active with alpha-2,3-linked, alpha-2,6-linked and alpha-2,8-linked sialic acid of N-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Displays preference for substrates with alpha-2,3-linked terminal sialic acid. It can form polysialic acid in vitro directly on alpha-2,3-, alpha-2,6-, or alpha-2,8-linked sialic acid; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 29 family. (380 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
NCAM1
Neural cell adhesion molecule 1; This protein is a cell adhesion molecule involved in neuron- neuron adhesion, neurite fasciculation, outgrowth of neurites, etc.

DEFB112
Beta-defensin 112; Has antibacterial activity; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.

MGAT5B
Alpha-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein 6-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase B; Glycosyltransferase that acts on alpha-linked mannose of N- glycans and O-mannosyl glycans. Catalyzes the transfer of N- acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to the beta 1-6 linkage of the mannose residue of GlcNAc-beta1,2-Man-alpha on both the alpha1,3- and alpha1,6- linked mannose arms in the core structure of N-glycan. Also acts on the GlcNAc-beta1,2-Man-alpha1-Ser/Thr moiety, forming a 2,6-branched structure in brain O-mannosyl glycan. Plays an active role in modulating integrin and laminin-dependent adhesion and migrat [...]

GALNT9
Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 9; Catalyzes the initial reaction in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor. Does not glycosylate apomucin or SDC3; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. GalNAc-T subfamily.
   
  
 0.417
GALNT13
Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13; Catalyzes the initial reaction in O-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, the transfer of an N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue to a serine or threonine residue on the protein receptor. Has a much stronger activity than GALNT1 to transfer GalNAc to mucin peptides, such as Muc5Ac and Muc7. Able to glycosylate SDC3. May be responsible for the synthesis of Tn antigen in neuronal cells; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. GalNAc-T subfamily.
   
  
 0.415
ACCSL
Probable inactive 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase-like protein 2; 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase homolog like; Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
   
  
 0.412
SVOP
Synaptic vesicle 2-related protein; SV2 related protein.
   
  
 0.412
CCER2
Coiled-coil glutamate rich protein 2.

RIPOR2
Rho family-interacting cell polarization regulator 2; Acts as an inhibitor of the small GTPase RHOA and plays several roles in the regulation of myoblast and hair cell differentiation, lymphocyte T proliferation and neutrophil polarization. Inhibits chemokine-induced T lymphocyte responses, such as cell adhesion, polarization and migration. Involved also in the regulation of neutrophil polarization, chemotaxis and adhesion (By similarity). Required for normal development of inner and outer hair cell stereocilia within the cochlea of the inner ear (By similarity). Plays a role for maint [...]
