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.

CST9Cystatin-9; May be involved in testis development (By similarity). May play a role in hematopoietic differentiation or inflammation. Has immunomodulatory and antimicrobial functions against Francisella tularensis, a Gram-negative bacteria ; Belongs to the cystatin family. (159 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
KCMF1
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase KCMF1; Has intrinsic E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and promotes ubiquitination; Belongs to the KCMF1 family.
    
   0.942
UBR4
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase UBR4; E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which is a component of the N-end rule pathway. Recognizes and binds to proteins bearing specific N- terminal residues that are destabilizing according to the N-end rule, leading to their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Together with clathrin, forms meshwork structures involved in membrane morphogenesis and cytoskeletal organization. Regulates integrin- mediated signaling. May play a role in activation of FAK in response to cell-matrix interactions. Mediates ubiquitination of ACLY, leading to its subsequent degrad [...]

CST8
Cystatin-8; Performs a specialized role during sperm development and maturation.
   
  
 0.808
CST11
Cystatin-11; Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacteria E.coli. May play a role in sperm maturation and fertilization. Belongs to the cystatin family.

CST9L
Cystatin-9-like; Cystatin 9 like; Belongs to the cystatin family.

ITGA4
Integrin alpha-4; Integrins alpha-4/beta-1 (VLA-4) and alpha-4/beta-7 are receptors for fibronectin. They recognize one or more domains within the alternatively spliced CS-1 and CS-5 regions of fibronectin. They are also receptors for VCAM1. Integrin alpha-4/beta-1 recognizes the sequence Q-I-D-S in VCAM1. Integrin alpha-4/beta-7 is also a receptor for MADCAM1. It recognizes the sequence L-D-T in MADCAM1. On activated endothelial cells integrin VLA-4 triggers homotypic aggregation for most VLA-4-positive leukocyte cell lines. It may also participate in cytolytic T-cell interactions wit [...]

CSTL1
Cystatin like 1.
   
  
 0.585
CST5
Cystatin-D; Cysteine proteinase inhibitor that possibly plays a protective role against proteinases present in the oral cavity. The order of preference for inhibition is cathepsin S > cathepsin H > cathepsin L > cathepsin B.
   
  
 0.561
PCP2
Purkinje cell protein 2 homolog; May function as a cell-type specific modulator for G protein- mediated cell signaling.
   
   0.538
