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.

CST6Cystatin-M; Shows moderate inhibition of cathepsin B but is not active against cathepsin C; Belongs to the cystatin family. (149 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
LGMN
Legumain; Has a strict specificity for hydrolysis of asparaginyl bonds. Can also cleave aspartyl bonds slowly, especially under acidic conditions. Required for normal lysosomal protein degradation in renal proximal tubules. Required for normal degradation of internalized EGFR. Plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation via its role in EGFR degradation (By similarity). May be involved in the processing of proteins for MHC class II antigen presentation in the lysosomal/endosomal system; Belongs to the peptidase C13 family.
    
 
 0.992
CTSV
Cathepsin L2; Cysteine protease. May have an important role in corneal physiology; Belongs to the peptidase C1 family.
   
 
 0.964
CTSL
Cathepsin L1 heavy chain; Thiol protease important for the overall degradation of proteins in lysosomes (Probable). Involved in the solubilization of cross-linked TG/thyroglobulin and in the subsequent release of thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) by limited proteolysis of TG/thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicle lumen (By similarity).
    
 
 0.891
TGM3
Protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase E 27 kDa non-catalytic chain; Catalyzes the calcium-dependent formation of isopeptide cross-links between glutamine and lysine residues in various proteins, as well as the conjugation of polyamines to proteins. Involved in the formation of the cornified envelope (CE), a specialized component consisting of covalent cross-links of proteins beneath the plasma membrane of terminally differentiated keratinocytes. Catalyzes small proline-rich proteins (SPRR1 and SPRR2) and LOR cross-linking to form small interchain oligomers, which are further cros [...]
   
  
 0.865
ABCA12
ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 12; Probable transporter involved in lipid homeostasis; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCA family.
   
  
 0.824
LOR
Loricrin; Major keratinocyte cell envelope protein.
   
  
 0.772
CTSS
Cathepsin S; Thiol protease. Key protease responsible for the removal of the invariant chain from MHC class II molecules. The bond-specificity of this proteinase is in part similar to the specificities of cathepsin L.
   
  
 0.715
EHF
ETS homologous factor; Transcriptional activator that may play a role in regulating epithelial cell differentiation and proliferation. May act as a repressor for a specific subset of ETS/AP-1-responsive genes and as a modulator of the nuclear response to mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascades. Binds to DNA sequences containing the consensus nucleotide core sequence GGAA. Involved in regulation of TNFRSF10B/DR5 expression through Ets-binding sequences on the TNFRSF10B/DR5 promoter. May contribute to development and carcinogenesis by acting as a tumor suppressor gene or anti [...]
   
 
 0.591
CFAP97D1
Uncharacterized protein CFAP97D1; CFAP97 domain containing 1; Belongs to the CFAP97 family.
    
 
 0.582
FLG2
Filaggrin-2; Essential for normal cell-cell adhesion in the cornified cell layers. Important for proper integrity and mechanical strength of the stratum corneum of the epidermis. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the S-100 family.
