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

BPIFA3BPI fold containing family A member 3; Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. Plunc family. (254 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
BPIFB4
BPI fold-containing family B member 4; May have the capacity to recognize and bind specific classes of odorants. May act as a carrier molecule, transporting odorants across the mucus layer to access receptor sites. May serve as a primary defense mechanism by recognizing and removing potentially harmful odorants or pathogenic microorganisms from the mucosa or clearing excess odorant from mucus to enable new odorant stimuli to be received (By similarity); Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. BPI/LBP family.
   
  
 0.757
BPIFB1
BPI fold-containing family B member 1; May play a role in innate immunity in mouth, nose and lungs. Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and modulates the cellular responses to LPS; Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. Plunc family.
 
 
  
 0.750
BPIFB6
BPI fold containing family B member 6; Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. BPI/LBP family.
   
  
 0.705
BPIFB3
BPI fold-containing family B member 3; May have the capacity to recognize and bind specific classes of odorants. May act as a carrier molecule, transporting odorants across the mucus layer to access receptor sites. May serve as a primary defense mechanism by recognizing and removing potentially harmful odorants or pathogenic microorganisms from the mucosa or clearing excess odorant from mucus to enable new odorant stimuli to be received (By similarity).

BPIFA2
BPI fold-containing family A member 2; Has strong antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa. Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. Plunc family.
 
 
  
 0.678
BPIFB2
BPI fold containing family B member 2; Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. BPI/LBP family.
   
  
 0.629
DEFB127
Beta-defensin 127; Has antibacterial activity.
   
  
 0.546
BPIFA1
BPI fold-containing family A member 1; Lipid-binding protein which shows high specificity for the surfactant phospholipid dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). Plays a role in the innate immune responses of the upper airways. Reduces the surface tension in secretions from airway epithelia and inhibits the formation of biofilm by pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, such as P.aeruginosa and K.pneumoniae. Negatively regulates proteolytic cleavage of SCNN1G, an event that is required for activation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), and thereby contributes to airway surface liquid ho [...]

WFDC12
WAP four-disulfide core domain protein 12; Antibacterial protein. Putative acid-stable proteinase inhibitor.
   
  
 0.511
CST9
Cystatin-9; May be involved in testis development (By similarity). May play a role in hematopoietic differentiation or inflammation. Has immunomodulatory and antimicrobial functions against Francisella tularensis, a Gram-negative bacteria ; Belongs to the cystatin family.
