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

BEGAINBrain-enriched guanylate kinase-associated protein; May sustain the structure of the postsynaptic density (PSD). (593 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
DLG2
Disks large homolog 2; Required for perception of chronic pain through NMDA receptor signaling. Regulates surface expression of NMDA receptors in dorsal horn neurons of the spinal cord. Interacts with the cytoplasmic tail of NMDA receptor subunits as well as inward rectifying potassium channels. Involved in regulation of synaptic stability at cholinergic synapses. Part of the postsynaptic protein scaffold of excitatory synapses (By similarity).
   
 0.901
MPP2
MAGUK p55 subfamily member 2; Postsynaptic MAGUK scaffold protein that links CADM1 cell adhesion molecules to core components of the postsynaptic density (By similarity). In CA1 pyramidal neurons, required for synaptic KCNN2- containing channel function and long-term potentiation expression (By similarity). Seems to negatively regulate SRC function in epithelial cells.
   
 
 0.816
DLG4
Disks large homolog 4; Interacts with the cytoplasmic tail of NMDA receptor subunits and shaker-type potassium channels. Required for synaptic plasticity associated with NMDA receptor signaling. Overexpression or depletion of DLG4 changes the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory synapses in hippocampal neurons. May reduce the amplitude of ASIC3 acid-evoked currents by retaining the channel intracellularly. May regulate the intracellular trafficking of ADR1B. Also regulates AMPA-type glutamate receptor (AMPAR) immobilization at postsynaptic density keeping the channels in an activated stat [...]

WDR25
WD repeat domain 25.
    
 
 0.757
GRIN2C
Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 2C; Component of NMDA receptor complexes that function as heterotetrameric, ligand-gated ion channels with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Channel activation requires binding of the neurotransmitter glutamate to the epsilon subunit, glycine binding to the zeta subunit, plus membrane depolarization to eliminate channel inhibition by Mg(2+). Sensitivity to glutamate and channel kinetics depend on the subunit composition (Probable). Plays a role in regulating the balance between excitatory and inhibitory activit [...]
   
 
 0.664
DMAP1
DNA methyltransferase 1-associated protein 1; Involved in transcription repression and activation. Its interaction with HDAC2 may provide a mechanism for histone deacetylation in heterochromatin following replication of DNA at late firing origins. Can also repress transcription independently of histone deacetylase activity. May specifically potentiate DAXX-mediated repression of glucocorticoid receptor-dependent transcription. Component of the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex which is involved in transcriptional activation of select genes principally by acetylation of nucle [...]
    
 
 0.624
SLC25A29
Mitochondrial basic amino acids transporter; Transports arginine, lysine, homoarginine, methylarginine and, to a much lesser extent, ornithine and histidine. Can restore ornithine transport in cells lacking the primary mitochondrial ornithine transporter SLC25A15. Does not transport carnitine nor acylcarnitines. Functions by both counter-exchange and uniport mechanisms ; Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family.
   
  
 0.618
DLG3
Disks large homolog 3; Required for learning most likely through its role in synaptic plasticity following NMDA receptor signaling.
   
 0.613
DLK1
Protein delta homolog 1; May have a role in neuroendocrine differentiation.
   
 
 0.607
RTL1
Retrotransposon-like protein 1; Plays an essential role in capillaries endothelial cells for the maintenance of feto-maternal interface and for development of the placenta.
