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

B2MBeta-2-microglobulin; Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. Exogenously applied M.tuberculosis EsxA or EsxA-EsxB (or EsxA expressed in host) binds B2M and decreases its export to the cell surface (total protein levels do not change), probably leading to defects in class I antigen presentation; Belongs to the beta-2-microglobulin family (119 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
FCGRT
Fc fragment of igg receptor and transporter; IgG receptor FcRn large subunit p51; Binds to the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulins gamma. Mediates the selective uptake of IgG from milk and helps newborn animals to acquire passive immunity. IgG in the milk is bound at the apical surface of the intestinal epithelium. The resultant FcRn-IgG complexes are transcytosed across the intestinal epithelium and IgG is released from FcRn into blood or tissue fluids (By similarity). Possible role in transfer of immunoglobulin G from mother to fetus

CALR
Calreticulin; Calcium-binding chaperone that promotes folding, oligomeric assembly and quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via the calreticulin/calnexin cycle. This lectin interacts transiently with almost all of the monoglucosylated glycoproteins that are synthesized in the ER. Interacts with the DNA-binding domain of NR3C1 and mediates its nuclear export. Involved in maternal gene expression regulation. May participate in oocyte maturation via the regulation of calcium homeostasis (By similarity)

TFRC
Transferrin receptor protein 1; Cellular uptake of iron occurs via receptor-mediated endocytosis of ligand-occupied transferrin receptor into specialized endosomes. Endosomal acidification leads to iron release. The apotransferrin-receptor complex is then recycled to the cell surface with a return to neutral pH and the concomitant loss of affinity of apotransferrin for its receptor. Transferrin receptor is necessary for development of erythrocytes and the nervous system (By similarity). A second ligand, the heditary hemochromatosis protein HFE, competes for binding with transferrin for [...]

CD1D
Antigen-presenting glycoprotein CD1d; Antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self glycolipids and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells; C1-set domain containing
   
 0.999
HLA-C
HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, Cw-7 alpha chain; Involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system; Belongs to the MHC class I family
   
 0.999
HLA-E
HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, alpha chain E; Preferably binds to a peptide derived from the signal sequence of most HLA-A, -B, -C and -G molecules; Belongs to the MHC class I family
   
 0.999
HLA-A
HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, A-3 alpha chain; Involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system; C1-set domain containing
   
 0.999
CD8A
T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain; Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class I molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins while class II derived from extracellular proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class I proteins presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Sr [...]

HLA-B
HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, B-7 alpha chain; Involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system; C1-set domain containing
   
 0.999
HLA-G
HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, alpha chain G; Involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system. Plays a role in maternal tolerance of the fetus by mediating protection from the deleterious effects of natural killer cells, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, macrophages and mononuclear cells; Belongs to the MHC class I family
