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

HSPG2Basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan core protein; Integral component of basement membranes. Component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), responsible for the fixed negative electrostatic membrane charge, and which provides a barrier which is both size- and charge-selective. It serves as an attachment substrate for cells. Plays essential roles in vascularization. Critical for normal heart development and for regulating the vascular response to injury. Also required for avascular cartilage development; I-set domain containing (4391 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
NID1
Nidogen (entactin); Nidogen-1; Sulfated glycoprotein widely distributed in basement membranes and tightly associated with laminin. Also binds to collagen IV and perlecan. It probably has a role in cell- extracellular matrix interactions
   
 0.999
DAG1
Dystroglycan 1; Dystroglycan; The dystroglycan complex is involved in a number of processes including laminin and basement membrane assembly, sarcolemmal stability, cell survival, peripheral nerve myelination, nodal structure, cell migration, and epithelial polarization
   
 0.999
FGF2
Fibroblast growth factor 2; Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. Functions as potent mitogen in vitro. Can induce angiogenesis; Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family
   
 0.997
GRN
Granulin precursor; Granulins; Granulins have possible cytokine-like activity. They may play a role in inflammation, wound repair, and tissue remodeling
   
 
 0.992
NID2
Nidogen (entactin); Nidogen-2; Cell adhesion glycoprotein which is widely distributed in basement membranes. Binds to collagens I and IV, to perlecan and to laminin 1. Does not bind fibulins. It probably has a role in cell-extracellular matrix interactions
   
 0.992
FN1
Fibronectin 1; Fibronectin type III domain containing; Endogenous ligands
   
 
 0.991
DCN
Decorin; May affect the rate of fibrils formation; Small leucine rich repeat proteoglycans
   
 0.985
BGN
Biglycan; May be involved in collagen fiber assembly; Small leucine rich repeat proteoglycans
   
 0.982
ECM1
Extracellular matrix protein 1; Involved in endochondral bone formation as negative regulator of bone mineralization. Stimulates the proliferation of endothelial cells and promotes angiogenesis. Inhibits MMP9 proteolytic activity
   
 
 0.974
COLQ
Acetylcholinesterase collagenic tail peptide; Anchors the catalytic subunits of asymmetric AChE to the synaptic basal lamina
   
 
 0.974
