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

Score
OBP2BOdorant-binding protein 2b; Probably binds and transports small hydrophobic volatile molecules; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family. (170 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
KIF22
Kinesin-like protein KIF22; Kinesin family member that is involved in spindle formation and the movements of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Binds to microtubules and to DNA (By similarity). Plays a role in congression of laterally attached chromosomes in NDC80-depleted cells.
      
 0.891
APOD
Apolipoprotein D; APOD occurs in the macromolecular complex with lecithin- cholesterol acyltransferase. It is probably involved in the transport and binding of bilin. Appears to be able to transport a variety of ligands in a number of different contexts.
      
 0.761
OBP2A
Odorant binding protein 2A; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
   
 
0.731
LCN15
Lipocalin-15; Lipocalin 15.
      
 0.560
OR1G1
Olfactory receptor 1G1; Odorant receptor; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
      
 0.553
LCN8
Epididymal-specific lipocalin-8; May play a role in male fertility. May act as a retinoid carrier protein within the epididymis.
   
  
 0.531
LCN12
Epididymal-specific lipocalin-12; Binds all-trans retinoic acid and may act as a retinoid carrier protein within the epididymis. May play a role in male fertility (By similarity).
   
  
 0.483
C4orf51
Uncharacterized protein C4orf51; Chromosome 4 open reading frame 51.
      
 0.478
LCN1
Lipocalin-1; Could play a role in taste reception. Could be necessary for the concentration and delivery of sapid molecules in the gustatory system. Can bind various ligands, with chemical structures ranging from lipids and retinoids to the macrocyclic antibiotic rifampicin and even to microbial siderophores. Exhibits an extremely wide ligand pocket; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
   
  
0.473
LCN6
Epididymal-specific lipocalin-6; May play a role in male fertility.
