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

ST8SIA5Alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 8E; May be involved in the synthesis of gangliosides GD1c, GT1a, GQ1b and GT3 from GD1a, GT1b, GM1b and GD3 respectively. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 29 family. (412 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ST3GAL5
Lactosylceramide alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase; Catalyzes the formation of ganglioside GM3 (alpha-N- acetylneuraminyl-2,3-beta-D-galactosyl-1, 4-beta-D-glucosylceramide).
  
   
 0.740
B3GALT4
Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 4; Involved in GM1/GD1B/GA1 ganglioside biosynthesis.
      
 0.644
ST6GALNAC6
Alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 6; Alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase involved in the synthesis of alpha-series gangliosides. Has activity toward GD1a, GT1b and GM1b. Has no activity toward glycoproteins. Responsible for the biosynthesis of DSGG (disialylgalactosylgloboside) from MSGG (monosialylgalactosylgloboside) in normal and malignant kidney. Participates in the synthesis of disialyl Lewis a (Le(a)).
   
  
 0.625
LOXHD1
Lipoxygenase homology domain-containing protein 1; Involved in hearing. Required for normal function of hair cells in the inner ear (By similarity).
 
 
  
 0.571
KATNAL2
Katanin p60 ATPase-containing subunit A-like 2; Severs microtubules in vitro in an ATP-dependent manner. This activity may promote rapid reorganization of cellular microtubule arrays.
   
  
 0.554
B4GALT6
Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6; Catalyzes the synthesis of lactosylceramide (LacCer) via the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to glucosylceramide (GlcCer). LacCer is the starting point in the biosynthesis of all gangliosides (membrane-bound glycosphingolipids) which play pivotal roles in the CNS including neuronal maturation and axonal and myelin formation (By similarity). Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 7 family.
   
  
 0.553
TATDN3
Putative deoxyribonuclease TATDN3; Putative deoxyribonuclease; Belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily. TatD-type hydrolase family.
      
 0.549
NANP
N-acylneuraminate-9-phosphatase; N-acetylneuraminic acid phosphatase.
      
 0.528
ST6GALNAC5
Alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 5; Involved in the biosynthesis of ganglioside GD1a from GM1b. It exhibits higher activity with glycolipids than with glycoproteins (By similarity).
      
 0.528
BEND7
BEN domain containing 7.
      
 0.507
