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

KCNK18Potassium channel subfamily K member 18; Outward rectifying potassium channel. Produces rapidly activating outward rectifier K(+) currents. May function as background potassium channel that sets the resting membrane potential. Channel activity is directly activated by calcium signal. Activated by the G(q)-protein coupled receptor pathway. The calcium signal robustly activates the channel via calcineurin, whereas the anchoring of 14-3- 3/YWHAH interferes with the return of the current to the resting state after activation. Inhibited also by arachidonic acid and other naturally occurring [...] (384 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
KRT76
Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 2 oral; Probably contributes to terminal cornification. Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
   
  
 0.987
KCNK13
Potassium channel subfamily K member 13; Potassium channel displaying weak inward rectification in symmetrical K(+) solution; Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.
   
 
 0.876
KCNK12
Potassium channel subfamily K member 12; Probable potassium channel subunit. No channel activity observed in heterologous systems. May need to associate with another protein to form a functional channel (By similarity).
   
 
 0.850
KCNK7
Potassium channel subfamily K member 7; Probable potassium channel subunit. No channel activity observed in vitro as protein remains in the endoplasmic reticulum. May need to associate with an as yet unknown partner in order to reach the plasma membrane; Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.
     
 0.843
KCNK17
Potassium channel subfamily K member 17; Outward rectifying potassium channel. Produces rapidly activating and non-inactivating outward rectifier K(+) currents.
     
 0.842
ATP1A2
Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha-2; This is the catalytic component of the active enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane. This action creates the electrochemical gradient of sodium and potassium, providing the energy for active transport of various nutrients; Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type IIC subfamily.
   
 
 0.814
KCNK3
Potassium channel subfamily K member 3; pH-dependent, voltage-insensitive, background potassium channel protein. Rectification direction results from potassium ion concentration on either side of the membrane. Acts as an outward rectifier when external potassium concentration is low. When external potassium concentration is high, current is inward. Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.
   
 
0.808
KCNK10
Potassium channel subfamily K member 10; Outward rectifying potassium channel. Produces rapidly activating and non-inactivating outward rectifier K(+) currents. Activated by arachidonic acid and other naturally occurring unsaturated free fatty acids; Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.

SCN1A
Sodium channel protein type 1 subunit alpha; Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which Na(+) ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Plays a key role in brain, probably by regulating the moment when neurotransmitters are released in neurons. Involved in sensory perception of mechanical pain: activation in somatosensory neurons induces pain without neurogenic inflammatio [...]

KCNK1
Potassium channel subfamily K member 1; Ion channel that contributes to passive transmembrane potassium transport and to the regulation of the resting membrane potential in brain astrocytes, but also in kidney and in other tissues. Forms dimeric channels through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. The channel is selective for K(+) ions at physiological potassium concentrations and at neutral pH, but becomes permeable to Na(+) at subphysiological K(+) levels and upon acidification of the extracellular medium. The homodimer has very low potassium [...]
