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

KRT40Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 40; May play a role in late hair differentiation; Belongs to the intermediate filament family. (431 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
KRT27
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 27; Essential for the proper assembly of type I and type II keratin protein complexes and formation of keratin intermediate filaments in the inner root sheath (irs).
  
0.554
KRT6A
Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 6A; Epidermis-specific type I keratin involved in wound healing. Involved in the activation of follicular keratinocytes after wounding, while it does not play a major role in keratinocyte proliferation or migration. Participates in the regulation of epithelial migration by inhibiting the activity of SRC during wound repair. Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
   
 
0.553
KRT2
Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 2 epidermal; Probably contributes to terminal cornification. Associated with keratinocyte activation, proliferation and keratinization. Plays a role in the establishment of the epidermal barrier on plantar skin (By similarity).
   
 
0.513
KRTAP3-1
Keratin-associated protein 3-1; In the hair cortex, hair keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin- associated proteins (KRTAP), which are essential for the formation of a rigid and resistant hair shaft through their extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with abundant cysteine residues of hair keratins. The matrix proteins include the high-sulfur and high-glycine-tyrosine keratins.
   
  
 0.511
KRT25
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 25; Essential for the proper assembly of type I and type II keratin protein complexes and formation of keratin intermediate filaments in the inner root sheath (irs) (By similarity). Plays a role in the cytoskeleton organization.
  
 
0.505
KRT26
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 26; Keratin 26.
  
 
0.500
KRT23
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 23; Keratin 23.
  
 
0.483
KRT28
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 28; Essential for the proper assembly of types I and II keratin protein complexes and the formation of keratin intermediate filaments in the inner root sheath (irs).
  
 
0.482
KRT35
Keratin, type I cuticular Ha5; Keratin 35; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
  
 
0.476
KRT38
Keratin, type I cuticular Ha8; Keratin 38; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
