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

CLDN6Claudin-6; Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space; Claudins (220 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
TJP1
Tight junction protein ZO-1; The N-terminal may be involved in transducing a signal required for tight junction assembly, while the C-terminal may have specific properties of tight junctions. The alpha domain might be involved in stabilizing junctions. Plays a role in the regulation of cell migration by targeting CDC42BPB to the leading edge of migrating cells; Belongs to the MAGUK family
    
 0.901
OCLN
Occludin; May play a role in the formation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) paracellular permeability barrier. It is able to induce adhesion when expressed in cells lacking tight junctions; Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunits
   
 
 0.847
TJP3
Tight junction protein ZO-3; Membrane associated guanylate kinases
   
 0.811
ESAM
Endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule; Can mediate aggregation most likely through a homophilic molecular interaction; IgCAM CXADR-related subfamily
   
 
 0.776
CLDN12
Claudin-12; Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium- independent cell-adhesion activity; Claudins
     
 0.730
CLDN23
Claudin-23; Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium- independent cell-adhesion activity; Claudins
   
 
0.698
CLDN34
Claudin 34; Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium-independent cell-adhesion activity
     
 0.684
CLDN16
Claudin-16; Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium- independent cell-adhesion activity. Involved in paracellular magnesium reabsorption. Required for a selective paracellular conductance. May form, alone or in partnership with other constituents, an intercellular pore permitting paracellular passage of magnesium and calcium ions down their electrochemical gradients. Alternatively, it could be a sensor of magnesium concentration that could alter paracellular permeability mediated by other factors; Claudins

CLDN11
Claudin-11; Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium- independent cell-adhesion activity; Claudins

PARD3
Partitioning defective 3 homolog; Adapter protein involved in asymmetrical cell division and cell polarization processes. Seems to play a central role in the formation of epithelial tight junctions. Targets the phosphatase PTEN to cell junctions (By similarity). Involved in Schwann cell peripheral myelination (By similarity). Association with PARD6B may prevent the interaction of PARD3 with F11R/JAM1, thereby preventing tight junction assembly (By similarity). The PARD6-PARD3 complex links GTP-bound Rho small GTPases to atypical protein kinase C proteins. Required for establishment of [...]
