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

B3GALT4Beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 4; Involved in GM1/GD1B/GA1 ganglioside biosynthesis. (378 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ST3GAL2
CMP-N-acetylneuraminate-beta-galactosamide-alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 2; Responsible for the synthesis of the sequence NeuAc-alpha- 2,3-Gal-beta-1,3-GalNAc- found in terminal carbohydrate groups of certain glycoproteins, oligosaccharides and glycolipids. SIAT4A and SIAT4B sialylate the same acceptor substrates but exhibit different Km values; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 29 family.
   
 
 0.974
B4GALNT1
Beta-1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 1; Involved in the biosynthesis of gangliosides GM2, GD2 and GA2.
     
 0.970
ST3GAL1
CMP-N-acetylneuraminate-beta-galactosamide-alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 1; Responsible for the synthesis of the sequence NeuAc-alpha- 2,3-Gal-beta-1,3-GalNAc- found on sugar chains O-linked to Thr or Ser and also as a terminal sequence on certain gangliosides. SIAT4A and SIAT4B sialylate the same acceptor substrates but exhibit different Km values; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 29 family.
   
 
 0.942
HEXA
Beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha; Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines, in the brain and other tissues. The form B is active against certain oligosaccharides. The form S has no measurable activity; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 20 family.
   
 
 0.918
HEXB
Beta-hexosaminidase subunit beta chain A; Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines, in the brain and other tissues; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 20 family.
   
 
 0.916
GLB1
Beta-galactosidase; [Isoform 1]: Cleaves beta-linked terminal galactosyl residues from gangliosides, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans.
   
 
 0.905
A4GALT
Lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-alpha-D- galactose to lactosylceramide/beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl- (1<->1)-ceramide(d18:1(4E)) to produce globotriaosylceramide/globoside Gb3Cer (d18:1(4E)). Also able to transfer galactose to galactosylceramide/beta-D-Gal-(1<->1')-Cer. Globoside Gb3Cer is a glycosphingolipid of the globo serie, one of the major types of neutral root structures of glycosphingolipids, that constitute a significant portion of mammalian cell membranes (Probable). Globotriaosylceramide/globoside Gb3Ce [...]
   
  
 0.871
WDR46
WD repeat-containing protein 46; Scaffold component of the nucleolar structure. Required for localization of DDX21 and NCL to the granular compartment of the nucleolus.
      
 0.829
RPS18
40S ribosomal protein S18; Located at the top of the head of the 40S subunit, it contacts several helices of the 18S rRNA.
     
 0.798
B4GALT6
Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6; Catalyzes the synthesis of lactosylceramide (LacCer) via the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to glucosylceramide (GlcCer). LacCer is the starting point in the biosynthesis of all gangliosides (membrane-bound glycosphingolipids) which play pivotal roles in the CNS including neuronal maturation and axonal and myelin formation (By similarity). Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 7 family.
