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

CEACAM16Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 16; Required for proper hearing, plays a role in maintaining the integrity of the tectorial membrane. (425 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
TECTA
Alpha-tectorin; One of the major non-collagenous components of the tectorial membrane (By similarity). The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that covers the neuroepithelium of the cochlea and contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia and leads to fluctuations in hair- cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals.
   
 
 0.904
TECTB
Beta-tectorin; One of the major non-collagenous components of the tectorial membrane (By similarity). The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that covers the neuroepithelium of the cochlea and contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia and leads to fluctuations in hair- cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals.
      
 0.857
OTOG
Otogelin; Glycoprotein specific to acellular membranes of the inner ear. May be required for the anchoring of the otoconial membranes and cupulae to the underlying neuroepithelia in the vestibule. May be involved in the organization and/or stabilization of the fibrillar network that compose the tectorial membrane in the cochlea. May play a role in mechanotransduction processes (By similarity).
   
 
 0.757
OTOGL
Otogelin-like protein; Otogelin like.
   
 
 0.747
STRC
Stereocilin; Essential to the formation of horizontal top connectors between outer hair cell stereocilia; Belongs to the stereocilin family.
   
 
 0.655
TSPEAR
Thrombospondin-type laminin G domain and EAR repeat-containing protein; Plays a critical role in tooth and hair follicle morphogenesis through regulation of the Notch signaling pathway. May play a role in development or function of the auditory system.
    
 
 0.635
MYH14
Myosin-14; Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping.
   
 
 0.625
TPRN
Taperin.
      
 0.610
SMPX
Small muscular protein; Plays a role in the regulatory network through which muscle cells coordinate their structural and functional states during growth, adaptation, and repair.
   
  
 0.608
LOXHD1
Lipoxygenase homology domain-containing protein 1; Involved in hearing. Required for normal function of hair cells in the inner ear (By similarity).
