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:
some 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

SPINK5Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 5; Serine protease inhibitor, probably important for the anti-inflammatory and/or antimicrobial protection of mucous epithelia. Contribute to the integrity and protective barrier function of the skin by regulating the activity of defense- activating and desquamation-involved proteases. Inhibits KLK5, it's major target, in a pH-dependent manner. Inhibits KLK7, KLK14 CASP14, and trypsin; Serine peptidase inhibitors, Kazal type (1094 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
KLK5
Kallikrein-5; May be involved in desquamation; Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Kallikrein subfamily
   
 
 0.951
SPINK6
Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 6; Serine protease inhibitor selective for kallikreins. Efficiently inhibits KLK4, KLK5, KLK6, KLK7, KLK12, KLK13 and KLK14. Doesn't inhibit KLK8; Serine peptidase inhibitors, Kazal type
      
 0.788
SPINK7
Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 7; Probable serine protease inhibitor; Serine peptidase inhibitors, Kazal type
   
  
 0.776
KLK7
Kallikrein-7; May catalyze the degradation of intercellular cohesive structures in the cornified layer of the skin in the continuous shedding of cells from the skin surface. Specific for amino acid residues with aromatic side chains in the P1 position. Cleaves insulin A chain at '14-Tyr-|-Gln-15' and insulin B chain at '6- Leu-|-Cys-7', '16-Tyr-|-Leu-17', '25-Phe-|-Tyr-26' and '26-Tyr-|- Thr-27'. Could play a role in the activation of precursors to inflammatory cytokines; Kallikreins
   
  
 0.774
ST14
Suppressor of tumorigenicity 14 protein; Degrades extracellular matrix. Proposed to play a role in breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Exhibits trypsin-like activity as defined by cleavage of synthetic substrates with Arg or Lys as the P1 site. Involved in the terminal differentiation of keratinocytes through prostasin (PRSS8) activation and filaggrin (FLG) processing; Serine proteases
      
 0.764
APOA1
Apolipoprotein A-I; Participates in the reverse transport of cholesterol from tissues to the liver for excretion by promoting cholesterol efflux from tissues and by acting as a cofactor for the lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). As part of the SPAP complex, activates spermatozoa motility; Apolipoproteins
      
 0.753
SPINK2
Serine peptidase inhibitor, Kazal type 2
      
 0.749
SPINK9
Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 9; Serine protease inhibitor which specifically inhibits KLK5. May contribute to the regulation of the desquamation process in skin by inhibiting KLK5; Serine peptidase inhibitors, Kazal type
   
  
 0.742
FLG
Filaggrin; Aggregates keratin intermediate filaments and promotes disulfide-bond formation among the intermediate filaments during terminal differentiation of mammalian epidermis; EF-hand domain containing
      
 0.737
CDSN
Corneodesmosin; Important for the epidermal barrier integrity
   
  
 0.730
