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

ASCL5Achaete-scute homolog 5; Achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 5. (206 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
BHLHE23
Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 23; May function as transcriptional repressor. May modulate the expression of genes required for the differentiation and/or maintenance of pancreatic and neuronal cell types. May be important for rod bipolar cell maturation (By similarity).
   
 
 0.562
ACSL5
Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 5; Catalyzes the conversion of long-chain fatty acids to their active form acyl-CoAs for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. ACSL5 may activate fatty acids from exogenous sources for the synthesis of triacylglycerol destined for intracellular storage (By similarity). Utilizes a wide range of saturated fatty acids with a preference for C16-C18 unsaturated fatty acids (By similarity). It was suggested that it may also stimulate fatty acid oxidation (By similarity). At the villus tip of the crypt-villus axis of the small [...]

BHLHA9
Class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 9; Transcription factor, which play a role in limb development. Is an essential player in the regulatory network governing transcription of genes implicated in limb morphogenesis.
      
 0.532
TMEM170B
Transmembrane protein 170B; Negatively regulates the canonical Wnt signaling in breast cancer cells. Exerts an inhibitory effect on breast cancer growth by inhibiting CTNNB1 stabilization and nucleus translocation, which reduces the activity of Wnt targets. Belongs to the TMEM170 family.
      
 0.483
PPP1R3G
Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 3G; Glycogen-targeting subunit for protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). Involved in the regulation of hepatic glycogenesis in a manner coupled to the fasting-feeding cycle and distinct from other glycogen-targeting subunits (By similarity).
  
   
 0.447
GPR25
Probable G-protein coupled receptor 25; Orphan receptor.
  
   
 0.431
ZNF316
Zinc finger protein 316; May be involved in transcriptional regulation; Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
