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

EBP3-beta-hydroxysteroid-Delta(8),Delta(7)-isomerase; Catalyzes the conversion of Delta(8)-sterols to their corresponding Delta(7)-isomers; Belongs to the EBP family. (230 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
SC5D
Lathosterol oxidase; Catalyzes a dehydrogenation to introduce C5-6 double bond into lathosterol; Belongs to the sterol desaturase family.
   
 
 0.995
TM7SF2
Delta(14)-sterol reductase TM7SF2; Catalyzes the reduction of the C14-unsaturated bond of lanosterol, as part of the metabolic pathway leading to cholesterol biosynthesis.
   
 
 0.991
DHCR24
Delta(24)-sterol reductase; Catalyzes the reduction of the delta-24 double bond of sterol intermediates during cholesterol biosynthesis. In addition to its cholesterol-synthesizing activity, can protects cells from oxidative stress by reducing caspase 3 activity during apoptosis induced by oxidative stress. Also protects against amyloid-beta peptide-induced apoptosis.
   
 0.981
DHCR7
7-dehydrocholesterol reductase; Production of cholesterol by reduction of C7-C8 double bond of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC); Belongs to the ERG4/ERG24 family.
   
  
 0.966
NSDHL
Sterol-4-alpha-carboxylate 3-dehydrogenase, decarboxylating; Involved in the sequential removal of two C-4 methyl groups in post-squalene cholesterol biosynthesis. Belongs to the 3-beta-HSD family.
   
  
 0.964
HSD17B7
3-keto-steroid reductase; Responsible for the reduction of the keto group on the C-3 of sterols; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. ERG27 subfamily.
   
 
 0.961
KCNH6
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 6; Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel. Elicits a slowly activating, rectifying current (By similarity). Channel properties may be modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly; Belongs to the potassium channel family. H (Eag) (TC 1.A.1.20) subfamily. Kv11.2/KCNH6 sub-subfamily.
      
 0.901
ARSL
Arylsulfatase L; May be essential for the correct composition of cartilage and bone matrix during development. Has no activity toward steroid sulfates.
   
  
 0.837
FADS1
Acyl-CoA (8-3)-desaturase; Isoform 1: Acts as a front-end fatty acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) desaturase that introduces a cis double bond at carbon 5 located between a preexisting double bond and the carboxyl end of the fatty acyl chain. Involved in biosynthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) from the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) linoleic acid (LA) (18:2n-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) (18:3n-3) precursors. Specifically, desaturates dihomo-gamma-linoleoate (DGLA) (20:3n-6) and eicosatetraenoate (ETA) (20:4n-3) to generate arachidonate (AA) (20:4n-6) and eicosapent [...]
   
  
 0.833
FDFT1
Squalene synthase; Farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1; Belongs to the phytoene/squalene synthase family.
