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

DEFB103BDefensin beta 103B. (67 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
DEFB103A
Beta-defensin 103; Exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus and S.pyogenes, Gram-negative bacteria P.aeruginosa and E.coli and the yeast C.albicans. Kills multiresistant S.aureus and vancomycin-resistant E.faecium. No significant hemolytic activity was observed.

ASIP
Agouti-signaling protein; Involved in the regulation of melanogenesis. The binding of ASP to MC1R precludes alpha-MSH initiated signaling and thus blocks production of cAMP, leading to a down-regulation of eumelanogenesis (brown/black pigment) and thus increasing synthesis of pheomelanin (yellow/red pigment). In higher primates, agouti may affect the quality of hair pigmentation rather than its pattern of deposition. Could well play a role in neuroendocrine aspects of melanocortin action. May have some functional role in regulating the lipid metabolism with adipocytes.

DEFB106A
Defensin beta 106A.
      
 0.584
DEFB107A
Beta-defensin 107; Has antibacterial activity.
      
 0.571
MC1R
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor; Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
      
 0.550
DEFB106B
Beta-defensin 106; Has antibacterial activity. Acts as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR2. Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
      
 0.549
DEFB130A
Beta-defensin 130A; Antimicrobial host-defense peptide. Has an antiplasmodial activity.
      
 0.530
OR7A10
Olfactory receptor 7A10; Odorant receptor; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
      
 0.479
SPAG11B
Sperm associated antigen 11B.
      
 0.474
